This Neighborhood District is the 3rd largest neighborhood district in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The COPNA district has almost 3,000 residences and 2,000 businesses. The COPNA is unique in that it is the only neighborhood district that crosses over Central Avenue and is one of the few neighborhood districts that crosses into two City Council districts.
The COPNA’s boundaries are from 5th Avenue South to 13th Avenue North and from 34th Street to 49th Street.
Because of its central location there is easy and quick access to the Gulf beaches, downtown, Tropicana Field, north Pinellas, I-275 Freeway, Tampa, Bradenton and beyond.
The entire area is easily traversed, large oak trees and a mature tree canopy provide a park-like setting for many homes. Many brick streets some dating back to the 1920s add to the charm and character of the area.
An additional bonus is the area’s high and dry elevation, among the highest in St Petersburg. The St Petersburg Main Library is located on 9th Ave N at 37th Street. Central Plaza nearby offers great shopping.
The Pinellas Trail originates a few blocks away and provides 43 miles of biking, running or roller-skating. A new trolley service will begin running down Central Avenue to connect to the beaches and downtown. |
