Meadowlawn Neighborhood Guide
Meadowlawn is a midcentury residential neighborhood in north St. Petersburg, roughly bounded by 62nd Avenue N to the south and stretching up toward Fossil Park Recreation Complex near 74th Avenue N, with 16th Street N and Dr. MLK Jr. Street N forming its western and eastern edges. The neighborhood is defined by its generous lot sizes, classic ranch-style homes, and a pace of life that feels genuinely unhurried without feeling isolated. Backyard fruit trees, wide cul-de-sacs, and front porches that actually get used give Meadowlawn a lived-in character that is harder to find in more polished corners of the city. It draws residents who want real yard space and a neighborly street culture, and tends to hold onto them.
