The Jungle Country Club 2nd Addition is a small early platted addition in the historic Jungle area of west St. Petersburg, ZIP 33710, near Boca Ciega Bay. The Jungle spans roughly two square miles on the west side of the city, bounded by Tyrone Boulevard, Boca Ciega Bay, the Pinellas Trail, and the area around 5th Avenue North, and it includes the present-day Azalea, Jungle Prada, and Jungle Terrace neighborhoods (Jungle Country Club History Project and Jungle Terrace neighborhood association, 2020).
The name traces to the Jungle Country Club golf course, which opened as the Country Club at Davista in 1916 and was renamed the Jungle Country Club in 1925, and the Jungle Country Club Hotel, built in the 1920s and now Admiral Farragut Academy. The residential additions platted around the club, including this 2nd Addition, carry older bungalow and mid-century homes under a mature live-oak canopy (Jungle Country Club History Project, 2019 to 2020).
Because this is older stock close to Boca Ciega Bay, the money is made or lost on elevation, the FEMA flood zone, roof and systems condition, and an honest insurance quote, not the plat name. Parts of west St. Pete sit in AE and VE flood zones, and FEMA has been reclassifying more Pinellas parcels into higher-risk zones, so the flood read has to be done parcel by parcel.
The pitch is a walkable, oak-shaded historic pocket minutes from the Jungle Prada waterfront, Boca Ciega Bay, and the Gulf beaches across the Intracoastal. The work is sorting elevation and condition, and verifying flood zone, insurance, and the city's substantial-improvement rule before you offer.
