Home values

The typical home value in ZIP code 33704 was $735,185 in August 2026, up 0.7% from $729,747 in August 2025, and in 33701 it was $742,292, down 0.1%, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, houses and condos together, not a sale price. Both ZIP codes also cover Old Northeast, Snell Isle and downtown, so neither figure is Crescent Lake’s alone. Zillow’s figure for St. Petersburg as a whole was $354,074, down 1.1%.
