Coquina Key
Amenities/character
Coquina Key is a friendly residential island community on historic Tampa
Bay. The community is made up of affordable single-family homes and many
beautiful waterfront properties. Two large, well-managed apartment complexes
offer affordable home options. The island has easy access via two bridges:
one at 39th Avenue SE, and the other at 47th Avenue SE. Downtown St. Petersburg
is located three miles to the north via 4th Street. For shopping convenience,
Coquina Key Plaza is just two blocks from the southern bridge. A spacious
city park is located on Big Bayou. It offers two lighted soccer fields, four
lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, a fitness course, children's playground,
fishing dock and a scenic view of the bayou.
Architecture
Homes on the island consist primarily of single-family Florida ranch
style architecture. Most of them built in the late 1950s to early 1960s.
There are also stilt style homes, duplexes and apartments.
