Airy Acres market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $295K ($335 per sq ft), a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 5 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Airy Acres is a mid-century single-family neighborhood in central west St Petersburg, set off 66th Street North in the area around 48th Avenue North, near the Tyrone district and Walter Fuller Park (St Petersburg real estate neighborhood guides, 2026). It sits in Pinellas County ZIP 33709, in the central part of the city rather than on the waterfront.
The housing is generally older one-story homes on modest lots, with current listing activity showing a mix of updated owner-occupier houses, homes that need work, and duplex and small income product (Stellar MLS listings, 2026). That mix means condition, layout, and intended use vary widely from one address to the next, so the home itself matters more than any neighborhood average.
Because this is older, lower-density stock, the money is made or lost on the specific home and lot, not on the address. The drivers are the roof and systems age, any updates already done, the lot and yard, and the flood zone, all of which have to be read per address rather than assumed from a listing headline.
The pitch is a central, practical location: quick access to 66th Street North, Tyrone Square and the Tyrone retail corridor, Walter Fuller Park, and a manageable drive to both the Gulf beaches and downtown St Petersburg, with Tampa across the bay. The work is the diligence: verify the flood zone, check the roof and systems, and read the lot before you buy the entry price.
