My wife and I chose Coquina Key due to it's off the beaten path and charming and convenient location. We relocated from Maryland and were looking for a friendly, diverse and affordable neighborhood. We like the fact that there are old, young, diverse ethnicities and housing. In the 2 months since being in our home, we have met our neighbors, walked in the park often and are learning to play pickleball on the pickleball courts in the park. This is probably the most affordable island in Florida.

Coquina Key is a unique place to live in St. Petersburg. It has it's own park, with public fields, a playground, and a small/large dog park area. It's close to the water and downtown. Neighbors tend to be friendly and close knit. Housing is a mix of affordable and expensive.
