Amenities/character/etc.

As stated in a Special Report in Life Magazine, the name of Patrician Point and the Roman merchandising thematic was born in an effort to illustrate dramatically the concept of an all-waterfront community which has been planned from the outset with the Roman philosophy...while we live, let us live... Now, 40 years later, that philosophy continues. Patrician Point consists of 235 upscale homes, 87% of which are waterfront. Its northeast St. Petersburg location provides homeowners with convenient access to churches, schools, shopping, golfing and the deep waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Residents include original owners and new families enjoying homes with well-manicured lawns and lush landscape nourished by low cost reclaimed water.

Architecture

Patrician Point is an upscale waterfront deed-restricted residential community consisting of 235 homes, most of which are of concrete block construction.

History

Patrician Point was originally developed by the Charles K. Cheezem organization in the early 1960's. Cheezemíss completion of the 40th Avenue Bridge allowed for the creation of a waterfront residential community comparable in popularity to that of the adjacent neighborhood of Snell Isle.

Organizations/programs

The Patrician Point Neighborhood Association was formed in 1997 for the purpose of improving our community and the identity of Patrician Point. Since that time, we have formed a Crime Watch Program, added speed controls and installed two islands at the corners of 14th Way and 14th Lane north of 40th Avenue. The Association has applied to the City of St. Petersburg under its Neighborhood Partnership Grant program for a grant to install street signs on each street in Patrician Point that enters into 40th Avenue NE as well as the three east entrances to Patrician Point from Shore Acres Boulevard. The Board of Directors is developing plans for yearly community garage sales and a holiday party.

Boundaries

Patrician Point is bordered on the west by the 40th Avenue bridge; on the east by Shore Acres Boulevard; and on the south by Placido Bayou.
