Since our new ALVA International office is located in the heart of downtown St Petersburg Florida on Beach Drive, we get people stopping in to inquire about condo rentals in downtown.
For those who are looking for a rental for a week or a month - sorry, we can't help. Nearly all of the condos are residential, not vacation, and most have minimum rental periods of one year. If you want a vacation rental, you'll generally have to look on the beaches, and then drive 15 minutes to downtown St Petersburg.
You can rent a condo for $800 per month or for $5,000 per month - depends on size, view, and degree of luxury.
I've just posted a current market report on downtown St Petersburg condo rentals. I've even started using charts that show availability and leasing activity in particular condos.
Most of our luxury condo rentals have water views. Our downtown St Petersburg area is wonderful for walking. Just park your car in the garage and walk to work (or if you're retired, forget about the work part), to shops, restaurants, museums, parks and marinas. Choose from many festivals, music concerts, gallery walks, and a wide variety of activities.
To me, St Petersburg has the best of all worlds - lots to do, but leisurely. Enjoy life - come to St Pete.

Hi Sharon, The photo is wonderful . I will come back on click on the link for the market data.
Hi Sharon, I need to subscribe but I am just setting up the RSS link on the MAC. But I will be back. I like that report and I noticed that your market rents are similar to ours in San Diego.
Hi Sharon--Looks like there is something for everyone if you are in the market for a St Petersburg condo!
Hi, William, I think there are a lot of similarities between San Diego and St Petersburg. I love RSS.
Hi, Teri - there's a wide variety, but many people have champagne taste with a beer budget.
Here people have to have beer taste on a champagne budget! Your way is better!
Looks like you have all sizes and prices in your rental market! I hope you are doing well, we have been incredibly busy here in Austin (and I am certainly grateful for that!
