One of our buyers called me recently, concerned about the chain-linked motel near the house she had under contract.
I explained to her that the residents in Broadwater had worked long and hard to GET the motel closed! The Broadwater neighborhood worked closely with the police to monitor activity, to report and complain.
Indeed, the police did empty the former Knight's Inn on 34th Street South in St Petersburg, much to the delight of the nearby residents. Utilities had been turned off for nonpayment, so living there was a health concern.
Now we see dumpsters on the premises, and these pieces of furniture are lined up outside the rooms like soldiers standing guard.
This was once a Holiday Inn, and neighbors look forward to the property being upgraded, and a place they can recommend to their families and guests.
