Shore Acres offers a relaxed waterfront lifestyle just minutes from Downtown St. Petersburg. Surrounded by canals and waterways leading toward Tampa Bay, the neighborhood features classic Florida homes, beautifully renovated properties, and impressive new construction. Many waterfront homes offer private docks, boat lifts, pools, and outdoor living spaces—ideal for enjoying boating, fishing, kayaking, and the best of coastal St. Pete living.
The first home in Shore Acres sold in 1923, when developer Nathaniel Upham began laying out the neighborhood. The real estate bust slowed early growth, and most of Shore Acres was built after World War II, which is why mid-century ranch homes sit alongside newer, elevated construction today. The neighborhood marked its 100th anniversary in 2023 with the opening of the new Shore Acres Recreation Center, and an active civic association keeps community events on the calendar year-round.
Venetian Isles is a distinctive waterfront community designed around boating and life on the water.

From renovated residences to custom luxury homes, Venetian Isles combines a peaceful waterfront setting with convenient access to Downtown St. Petersburg, Beach Drive, dining, shopping, and recreation.
