Live Oak sits inside St. Petersburg's grid of established neighborhoods, the kind of place where the streets feel lived-in and the pace is unhurried. You're in good company here — the surrounding communities include Shore Acres, Greater Pinellas Point, and Disston Heights, each with its own character but all sharing that unmistakable Pinellas County ease. Commuters aren't cut off from the wider Bay area, either: Tampa International Airport is about 33 minutes out and downtown Tampa runs roughly 34.
The market here is small and specific right now — 11 active listings with a median list price of $490,000, which places Live Oak squarely in mid-market St. Pete territory. With no closed sales recorded in the past 12 months and a limited pool of inventory, this is a neighborhood where the right listing moves on its own timeline rather than a fast-churning market. Buyers willing to watch and act deliberately will do best, and it's worth comparing against nearby options like Bayway Isles and the broader stretch of St Petersburg homes for sale.
Live Oak is a community in St Petersburg, Florida.

Live Oak FAQs
Is Live Oak a good place to live?+
Live Oak is an established St. Petersburg neighborhood surrounded by well-known communities like Shore Acres and Coquina Key. It offers a settled, residential feel while keeping you close to the wider Bay area — Tampa International is about 33 minutes out. Assigned schools include Azalea Middle, Boca Ciega High, and Northwest Elementary.
Is Live Oak expensive?+
It sits in the mid-market range for St. Petersburg, with a current median list price of $490,000 across 11 active listings. That's a comfortable middle ground compared to higher-end waterfront enclaves like Bayway Isles. What you get for that price depends on the specific listing, since inventory here is limited and varied.
What do homes cost in Live Oak?+
The median list price is currently $490,000 among the 11 homes on the market. Detailed price-per-square-foot and home-size figures aren't available for this small pocket, so working with an agent who knows the individual properties matters more here than any single average. It's worth benchmarking against nearby St Petersburg homes for sale to gauge value.
How is the market in Live Oak?+
This is a small, slow-moving market — there are 11 active listings and no closed sales recorded over the past 12 months. That means pricing signals come from what's listed rather than recent comps, so patience and local guidance pay off. Buyers who track the neighborhood closely will be ready when the right home appears.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in Live Oak?+
Specific HOA and property tax figures aren't available for Live Oak's current listings, which is common in an established neighborhood with varied housing. Costs will depend on the individual property and whether it falls within a managed community. Your agent can pull the exact carrying costs on any home before you make an offer.
