 The Old Northeast can trace its beginnings back to 1909 when Perry Snell began developing subdivisions and building elegant new homes in the northeast section of the growing young town. With their brick streets, alleyways, hexagonal sidewalks, granite curbs, trolley access, and lush landscapes, these subdivisions (with names like Bayshore, Bayfront, North Shore, and Granada Terrace) quickly became St. Pete's most desirable and stylish neighborhoods. By the 1920s, those brick streets were lined with homes of varying sizes and styles including Mediterranean Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, Tudor Revival, California Mission, Prairie, and Frame Vernacular. In addition to the beautiful homes, 1920s also saw the openings of both the Mediterranean Revival styled Vinoy Park Hotel and the Market building for the nursery and gardens now known as Sunken Gardens.

 Today, Historic Old Northeast remains one of the most style and desirable neighborhoods in St. Pete. It also boasts one of the most influential and active Neighborhood Associations (HONNA) in St. Pete. Founded in 1974, HONNA was instrumental in earning Local Historic District Designation for several subdivisions within the neighborhood, as well as achieving the entire neighborhood's designation as a landmark in the National Register of Historic Places. Thanks in part to these efforts, a significant number of the neighborhood's original and eclectic homes endure as do the original brick streets, alleyways, hexagonal block sidewalks, and many of the early Live Oaks, Maples, Palms, and Magnolias. HONNA is also active in creating and maintaining a robust feeling of community for its residents. From porch parties and holiday events to the annual Candlelight Tour of Homes fundraiser, something is always happening in the Old Northeast.

 Bordered by 4th Street's business corridor, 5th Avenue NE, and the waterfront, the Old Northeast's location offers access to all the best things in St. Pete. The city parks at Coffee Pot, Flora Wylie, North Shore, and Vinoy are all within the confines of the neighborhood as are the Sunken Gardens and the waterfront North Bay Recreational Trail. Downtown St. Pete's bustling social scene, abundant shopping venues, and numerous cultural offerings also are only steps away. Historic Old Northeast is the perfect spot for people who want historic charm and to be near everything St. Pete has to offer.
