5895 18Th St N

A low-rise, garden-style condominium complex in Saint Petersburg built in 1968 and organized predominantly for 55+ residents. The property is two stories with garden courtyards, exterior walkways and both ground-floor and second-floor units accessed by short stair flights. Typical residences are two-bedroom layouts (with some 1BR variations) featuring open living/dining combinations, enclosed Florida rooms, tray ceilings, walk-in closets, solid-surface counters, ceiling fans, attic storage and thermostats for individual climate control. Many units have been renovated over time with laminate or wood-look flooring, updated kitchens and baths, hurricane-rated entry doors and newer HVAC systems. Exterior elements include landscaped front gardens, balconies, awnings, courtyard seating, outdoor grills, irrigation and storm-drain gutters; storage closets and assigned parking (covered carports in places) are provided. Community common areas focus on social and recreational life: a clubhouse and recreation center, heated swimming pool, shuffleboard, card rooms, meeting rooms and organized activities such as weekly clubs, dances and holiday dinners. The association handles grounds and building maintenance, exterior insurance and utilities coverage portions (gas, water, sewer, cable, trash) through monthly fees; rules commonly restrict leasing and pets. The location offers easy access to downtown St. Petersburg, beaches, shopping, transit and major highways, supporting a largely maintenance-light, active-retirement lifestyle.
