St. Petersburg earned its “Sunshine City” nickname honestly, averaging more than 360 days of measurable sunshine a year, on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides between Tampa Bay and the Gulf. Old Northeast and Historic Kenwood are full of 1920s and ’30s Craftsman bungalows with classic front porches that were built for sitting outside, just without any screening to make July bearable. Waterfront neighborhoods like Snell Isle and Coffee Pot Bayou add salt air into the mix on top of everyday heat and humidity.
Averaging over 360 sunny days a year sounds appealing until an unshaded porch or patio becomes unusable for most of the afternoon, most of the year. St. Petersburg’s historic bungalow neighborhoods have the added wrinkle of porches designed a century ago, long before screening or motorized shade existed as an option. Waterfront homes face that same sun exposure plus salt air coming off the bay.
