Columbia Heights
An affordable pocket of central St Pete
Columbia Heights is a compact, central St Petersburg neighborhood where you're minutes from the everyday rhythms of the city rather than the tourist edges. It sits within reach of established communities like Disston Heights and Winston Park, with easy connections across the wider St Petersburg map and a short hop to the bay. Assigned schools include Campbell Park Elementary, John Hopkins Middle, and Gibbs High.
For buyers, this is one of the more attainable corners of the city: homes here sold at a median of $206,250 over the past year, well below St Pete's pricier waterfront zones such as Shore Acres. Inventory is thin — nothing is active right now, so this is a market where patience and a ready pre-approval pay off. When something lists, expect it to move, since sellers here have been getting about 93% of asking on average.

Columbia Heights FAQs
Is Columbia Heights a good place to live?+
It's a central St Petersburg neighborhood that trades waterfront glamour for practicality and location. You're about 28 minutes from both downtown Tampa and Tampa International Airport, and close to established communities like Greater Pinellas Point. Assigned schools include Campbell Park Elementary, John Hopkins Middle, and Gibbs High.
Is Columbia Heights expensive?+
No — it's one of the more affordable pockets of St Petersburg. Homes sold over the past year at a median of $206,250, notably below the city's higher-priced waterfront areas. That makes it a realistic option for first-time buyers and investors.
What do homes cost in Columbia Heights?+
Over the last 12 months, four homes sold here at a median price of $206,250. There are no active listings at the moment, so exact current pricing depends on what comes to market next. Working with an agent to catch new listings early is the smart play in a neighborhood this small.
How is the market in Columbia Heights?+
It's a low-inventory market — zero active listings right now against just four sales in the past year. When homes do list, sellers have been receiving about 93% of asking on average, which points to steady, reasonable demand. Buyers should be pre-approved and ready to act quickly.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Columbia Heights is a neighborhood of individually owned homes rather than an HOA-governed community, and current HOA and tax figures aren't available given how few properties change hands here. Florida has no state income tax, and property taxes are assessed at the county level in Pinellas. Your agent can pull the exact tax figure for any specific home before you make an offer.
