Some interesting history about Snell Isle - it was originally purchased for $2,000 back in the early 1900s. The man who bought it went there on his honeymoon with his wife Lillian. He was from Kentucky and he built a Mediterranean revival mansion. So the Isle has a very Mediterranean and European feel.

Snell Isle is very close, not only to the Vinoy water walking areas, but you also have the Vinoy tennis court and golf course. You have all the nightlife and downtown restaurants, bars, everything is within biking or walking distance. The coffee pot district is right down the street.

From Vinoy park you have downtown views and views of the marina, as well as open water views and St. Pete pier. You will see many people walking, it's a safe area and the sidewalk takes you to the majority of the communities there

Surrounded by water, it has some of St. Pete's most sought after homes with waterfront views.

Homes vary from large 10,000 sq ft mediterranean estates to single family homes with a little bit of European flare.

Much of the old north east area is known for having that "old money" feel whereas Snell Isle has more of the "new money" feel as many of the older Spanish style homes have been torn down to build some custom larger luxury homes as demand for these has risen over the years.

This is a more affordable area. 

Shore Acres' elevation is lower than Snell Isle so that is probably why there is a price difference.
