Lellman Heights sits in the middle of St Petersburg's Pinellas County grid, a compact, unpretentious neighborhood where modest single-family homes trade hands among first-time buyers and investors alike. The median home here runs about 982 square feet, so this is a place for people who want a manageable footprint and a straightforward St Pete address rather than a sprawling estate. It's close enough to neighbors like Disston Heights and the wider stretch of St Petersburg homes for sale to keep options open. Assigned schools include Lealman Avenue Elementary, Tyrone Middle, and Dixie M. Hollins High.
For a buyer today, the market is thin but telling: just two active listings, with a median list price of $258,750 and asking prices between $198,500 and $319,000. Over the last year, 11 homes sold at a median of $360,000, and sellers collected about 97% of asking — a sign that well-priced homes still move. The commute math is friendly too, with Tampa International Airport roughly 25 minutes away and downtown Tampa about 27, which is why buyers priced out of pricier spots like Bayway Isles keep circling back here.

Lellman Heights FAQs
Is Lellman Heights a good place to live?+
It's a practical, low-key St Petersburg neighborhood built around compact single-family homes and an easy commute — Tampa International is about 25 minutes and downtown Tampa about 27. Assigned schools are Lealman Avenue Elementary, Tyrone Middle, and Dixie M. Hollins High. It suits buyers who want a real St Pete address without the price tag of the waterfront enclaves nearby.
Is Lellman Heights expensive?+
No — it's one of the more attainable corners of St Petersburg, with a median list price of $258,750 and active homes ranging from $198,500 to $319,000. That's a notable step down from higher-end pockets like Greater Pinellas Point. The average price per square foot runs about $261.
What do homes cost in Lellman Heights?+
Right now the two active listings carry a median list price of $258,750, while the 11 homes sold over the past 12 months closed at a median of $360,000. The gap reflects a small, varied sample, so the specific home and condition matter a lot here. Expect roughly $261 per square foot on average.
How is the market in Lellman Heights?+
Inventory is tight — just two homes are currently active — and the median time on market is about 77.5 days, so it's not a frantic pace.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no reported HOA in Lellman Heights, so you won't be budgeting a monthly association fee the way you might in a gated community. The median annual property tax runs about $4,809. If you're weighing a rental, the median rent in the area is around $1,900 a month.
