Build a new Dream Home on high ground in Crescent Lake. This cleared corner homesite at 8th Street North and 15th Avenue North puts daily life within walking distance. Popular Crescent Lake Park is just one block away: roughly 52 acres with a paved loop of about a mile around the lake, six pickleball courts, tennis courts, a shaded playground, dog parks, open fields and the Huggins-Stengel ballfield. Great Restaurants and shopping line Dr. MLK Jr. Street N, one block west, and 4th Street N, a few blocks east. Downtown St. Petersburg is minutes away. The prior home has been fully removed and the lot is being seeded, so you can move straight to design.
HIGH AND DRY: A July 2026 boundary and topographic survey places the lot in FEMA Flood Zone X (FIRM panel 12103C0217H), with ground elevations of roughly 29.6 to 30.5 feet (NAVD 88). Since the 2024 storms, building on high ground has become a priority for St. Pete buyers.
BUILD YOUR OWN HOME: Work with your own architect and builder to create a custom home in an established neighborhood without the cost and uncertainty of a flood zone. The lot supports a single-level home of about 2,070 heated SF with an attached garage, a two-story home of nearly 2,940 heated SF with room for a pool, or a main home with a garage apartment for guests, extended family or rental income.
FOR BUILDERS: Zoned NT-2. The buildable footprint is about 39.3 x 65 feet (approx. 2,554 SF) using a 25-foot front setback on 8th St N, 10-foot rear, 5.7-foot interior side and 12-foot street side. Base floor area ratio is 0.40 (about 2,280 SF, including enclosed garage). The City’s design bonus adds up to 0.20 FAR for features such as a one-story front porch, a second floor no larger than 75% of the first, quality siding and divided-light windows, for a maximum of about 3,420 SF. Height limits are a 24-foot roofline and 36-foot peak. One accessory dwelling unit is allowed per lot, and up to 500 SF of an ADU in the rear third does not count toward FAR. Garage and driveway access come from a 20-foot platted alley, as NT-2 requires, leaving the front yard open for a covered porch, which may extend 7 feet into the front setback.
LOT: 57 x 100 feet, approx. 5,700 SF (survey shows 57.50-foot side lines), with frontage on two streets plus the alley.
