What we know about houses in Kenneth City and Lealman

Kenneth City and Lealman sit side by side in the middle of the county, but they are run very differently. Kenneth City is its own town, founded in 1957 as a community of single-family homes. It still has about 5,000 residents, a town hall at 6000 54th Avenue North, its own police department and its own code enforcement. Lealman, just east of it, is unincorporated Pinellas County: roughly 2,525 acres between Pinellas Park, Kenneth City and St. Petersburg, with around 20,000 residents. Code enforcement and permits there are the county's, and the whole area has been a county Community Redevelopment Area since 2016, the first in unincorporated Pinellas, with residential improvement grants and demolition money aimed at blighted structures.

The housing stock is what the dates suggest. The county's own CRA plan found that almost half of Lealman's homes were built between 1950 and 1970 and another 30 percent between 1970 and 1989: small concrete-block ranches and frame cottages on narrow lots, plenty of duplexes and small multifamily buildings, and more than a quarter of the units in mobile home parks. The same plan flagged unpermitted additions and living units, open drainage ditches up to six feet deep, and code cases for inoperable vehicles, lot clearing, minimum housing and debris that ran well above the countywide rate. Kenneth City's homes are more uniform, mostly block ranches from the late 1950s and 1960s on the original plat.

Flooding here is freshwater, not surge. Joe's Creek runs through both Kenneth City and the Lealman CRA from 37th Street North to 66th Street North, and the streets along it are the ones that take water in heavy rain; Hurricane Milton dropped more than 20 inches near St. Petersburg in October 2024. Pinellas County is designing a roughly $50 million Joe's Creek restoration and greenway project to cut flood risk, with construction currently planned for early 2028 through late 2030. Near the creek, the flood zone and past claims matter to a retail buyer with a lender; they do not change our ability to close.

Who sells to us here: heirs who inherited a parent's house that has not been touched since the 1970s, landlords tired of an aging duplex or a tenant who stopped paying, and owners with a county or town code case they cannot afford to fix. We buy single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes, small multifamily and commercial property in both places. We do not buy individual mobile or manufactured homes, which rules out the park units but not the block houses around them.

Areas we buy in: Kenneth City (the original 1957 plat around 54th Avenue North and 58th Street North), Lealman, West Lealman, the Joe's Creek corridor, Haines Road, 49th Street North, 34th Street North (US 19), 28th Street North, 54th Avenue North.

Typical houses we buy here: 1950s–60s concrete-block ranches and frame cottages on small lots, duplexes and small multifamily buildings along Haines Road and 49th Street, houses with unpermitted additions or open county code cases, homes along the Joe's Creek corridor.

ZIP codes: 33709, 33714.

FAQ

Selling a house in Kenneth City and Lealman: questions we get

Is Lealman part of St. Petersburg or Kenneth City?

Neither. Lealman is unincorporated Pinellas County, so code enforcement and permits are the county's, and it sits inside the county's Lealman Community Redevelopment Area. Kenneth City is a separate town with its own town hall, police department and code enforcement. A St. Petersburg mailing address does not make a Lealman house part of the city.

My Lealman house has an open Pinellas County code case. Can you still buy it?

Yes. Code cases, and the fines and liens that come with them, are common here. We buy with the case open, the title company pays any recorded lien from the price at closing, and we handle the repairs, demolition or permits afterward. See our page on back taxes, liens and code violations for how the lien side works.

The house has an unpermitted addition or a converted garage. Is that a problem?

Not for us. The county's own CRA plan notes how common unpermitted living units are in Lealman. We buy as-is and take on the permitting, legalizing or removal after closing. It would be a problem for a buyer who needs an appraisal and a lender, which is why these houses often sit on the open market.

Do you buy mobile homes in the Lealman parks?

No. We do not buy mobile or manufactured homes anywhere. We do buy the concrete-block and frame houses, duplexes and small multifamily buildings that make up most of Lealman and Kenneth City, as well as commercial property along the corridors like 34th Street, 49th Street and Haines Road.

The house is near Joe's Creek and has flooded. Does that kill the deal?

No. Flooding is why some of these houses are hard to sell on the open market, and it is part of what we buy. Tell us the flood history and any insurance claims so the repair numbers are right; we price the work into the offer and show you the math. Our hurricane and flood-damaged house page covers the details.

I inherited my parents' house in Kenneth City and live out of state. How does this work?

We do the walkthrough with a neighbor, relative or lockbox, pay for and handle the probate through an attorney who represents the estate, and close with you signing remotely. If other heirs are involved, we can buy partial shares. Our companion site at inheritance.131cashhomebuyers.com walks through the whole process.
