Kitchens across Pinellas County: what local homes call for
The typical home across the 14 communities we cover in Pinellas County was built around 1975, but the range is wide: median homes in Saint Petersburg date to about 1969, while those in Oldsmar are closer to 1988. That spread means two kitchens in the same county can need very different work.
Median home values run from $275,000 in Largo to $1,053,000 in Belleair Beach. Weighted across the county the figure is about $365,000, about 10% above the national median of $333,000, which shapes how much owners choose to invest in a kitchen.
Roughly 70% of households in these communities own their home and 56% of the housing is single-family. Only about 33% of homes predate 1970, so most Pinellas County projects are about finishes, storage and flow rather than hidden repairs.
