Herkimer Heights is a small old platted single-family subdivision in west-central St. Petersburg, in Pinellas County, the kind of older inland pocket that makes up much of the city away from the waterfront. It sits near the 24th Street North corridor in the 33713 ZIP area, and listings here describe modest older single-family homes well inland of the bay (ByOwner.com listing, 2026). Confirm the exact zone and boundaries per parcel.
The housing stock is the classic St. Petersburg mix: older concrete-block single-family homes on modest lots, many updated over the years, where condition, roof age, and insurability drive value far more than the subdivision name. Most of these homes carry no mandatory HOA, so the fee picture is simple, but that puts the full weight of roof, systems, and insurance on the buyer to read.
Because Herkimer Heights is a small old platted subdivision rather than a large named neighborhood, the money is made or lost on the individual parcel and an honest read of the home's roof, systems, and flood line, not on a headline price. Two homes a block apart can carry very different roof age, update history, and insurance numbers.
The pitch is established St. Pete value with an inland, mostly high and dry position: a west-central Pinellas location with quick access to the interstate, the Gulf beaches, and downtown St. Petersburg, at entry pricing below the waterfront pockets. The work is verifying the flood zone, the insurance, and the roof on the specific home before you fall for a price.
