/
A 1938-built home nestled in the heart of the enchanting Driftwood neighborhood is St. Pete Rising’s Home of the Week.
Located at 2521 Driftwood Road SE, this 2,400-square-foot residence offers an unparalleled living experience in Driftwood, one of St. Petersburg’s most sought-after neighborhoods located on Big Bayou just south of 22nd Avenue South.
This Minimal Traditional home with English Traditional Vernacular influences was designed by nationally renowned artist Mark Dixon Dodd and prominent local architect Archie Parish, whom both crafted 19 homes in Driftwood between the 1930s and 1940s.
The home boasts three bedrooms, each with a renovated ensuite bath, as well as high vaulted ceilings and wide-plank oak flooring that enhance its airy ambiance.

A former parking lot near Historic Kenwood is now home to Burlington Post II, a 75-unit affordable apartment community for seniors.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held last Wednesday to celebrate the opening.
Every apartment at the five-story building at 3295 Burlington Avenue North is income restricted, and the property must remain affordable for at least 50 years.
For some of its first residents, the move followed rising rents that made their previous homes increasingly difficult to afford.
Tabari Lewis, community manager with Royal American Management, said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising that many residents learned about Burlington Post II through friends, family, and city housing services while searching for a more affordable place to live.
