Historic Uptown’s neighborhood-association area and the Round Lake historic district are separate source areas. Check school, electoral and service assignments for the exact address.

Get to know Historic Uptown

Historic Uptown is best explored at neighborhood scale. Round Lake gives a clear starting point, while the surrounding homes and streets reveal a mix of building forms close to downtown. The Historic Uptown Neighborhood Association, HUNA, maintains its own local information and events. Use that St. Petersburg organization when researching the area: other cities also have a Historic Uptown, and similarly named websites can lead to completely different places.

Begin around Historic Round Lake Park, which the city’s parks GIS locates at Sixth Street North and Sixth Avenue North. Extend the outing along nearby public streets toward Dartmoor Street and Seventh or Eighth Avenue North. Add a current café or association event only after confirming its exact address and access arrangements.

  • Historic identity and practical property research

Let Round Lake set the pace

HUNA describes Round Lake as a central feature of the neighborhood, and the city maps Historic Round Lake Park as a public park. Use it as a place to orient yourself before extending the walk. Notice the relationship between the lake, the surrounding houses and the streets rather than treating it as a large recreation complex. A short route can be enough for a first visit. Choose usable crossings, leave room for other sidewalk users and adjust the distance to the conditions and the needs of your group.

Connect through the neighborhood’s own organization

HUNA is run by volunteers and welcomes participation from homeowners and renters. Its public website has a calendar, newsletter signup and contact information, plus descriptions of projects such as Round Lake cleanups and neighborhood gatherings. Start there if you want a community activity rather than an independent walk. The website identifies Gypsy Souls Coffeehouse at 515 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street North as a general-meeting venue, but the individual calendar entry should determine the date, time and location for any meeting you plan to attend.

Explore the business edges with an exact destination

A small-business stop can complement a walk around the lake. HUNA’s membership page names cafés, shops and services connected with its program, including businesses along Seventh Avenue North and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street North. Treat that page as a discovery resource and check the business itself for current operations. Some of its discount language refers to a 2025 membership keytag, so this edition does not promise those discounts in 2026. Choose a place for its actual offering and location, then confirm any membership benefit separately.

Use the right resource for the question

The city’s association map, historic-preservation map and property records describe different aspects of the area. A neighborhood name alone cannot decide whether a particular renovation needs historic review. Use the city’s preservation tools and staff for that property-specific question. For everyday public-space problems, HUNA’s resources page points residents to the city’s issue-reporting tools; include the location and a clear description when making a report. The practical distinction is useful: an association helps organize community life, while municipal departments handle the public services and approvals within their responsibility.

Neighborhood questions

Does Round Lake Historic District mean all of Historic Uptown?

A historic-district designation and a neighborhood-association boundary have different purposes. This edition follows the city’s Historic Uptown association record; check the exact address in the relevant city map for a designation question.

Schools, civic contacts & everyday resources

Use your full street address for school and electoral questions. A city name, neighborhood label or nearby landmark does not establish the assignment for every home.
