The Historic Homes

This historic neighborhood is home to many private homes with the Mediterranean or Spanish-style architecture. Within its boundaries are 146 historic buildings, but history isn’t the only draw. Fans of the outdoors head to the park from which this neighborhood takes its name to enjoy royal palms, oaks, and lush flower gardens. Booker Creek runs through the area, offering more natural beauty.

Most of these homes were built in the 1920s when the original development boom of St. Pete happened. Homes from that time period typically have more character than many modern homes that are built today.

It’s interesting to see how people buy these homes and renovate them to their own style. Some aim to restore them to their original glory and others prefer to put more modern touches in these historic homes. Sometimes on these home tours, the owners will show pictures of before and after renovation which you may appreciate if you ever watch HGTV.

The Historic Brick Streets

The historic neighborhoods in St. Pete are filled with these brick-lined streets. It’s amazing to stop and think how each one of these bricks was laid by hand. These streets are around 100 years old and many of them are still in great shape.

These roads have not only stood the test of time, but they also add a lot of charm to these historic neighborhoods. Since Roser Park is built on a hill, you’ll also notice the many retaining walls that also add a bit of charm to the area.

Roser Park is the best of both worlds. You can live in a Historic neighborhood where it feels like a step back in time while still being within walking distance to a bustling mini-metropolis with endless possibilities for fun and entertainment. If you want to live in a neighborhood unlike any other in the Tampa Bay area, Roser Park may be the spot for you.
