St. Peace House Co-op

Hi Peace House People!

Good news. The St Peace House has a new home in DTSP! Rooms avail in Sept/Oct.

The St Peace House is community oriented housing for like minded individuals with shared values.

The previous St Peace House / Phoenix House in the Old Southeast was targeted by the City of St Petersburg and fined out of existence.

Although the City speaks about supporting affordable housing, in practice they make it really difficult…I mean, like, whatever the city is doing to keep rent affordable in St Pete it is not working =-)

The good news is that we found a location on Central Ave where the zoning code allows for a variety of uses.

The most eco-friendly style of housing is adaptive reuse. In other words, recycling existing buildings to meet the needs of the community.

This particular property (approx 4,000 sq ft) is currently undergoing a renovation and will be ready for new community residents in late September or October. It is along the SunRunner route, within biking/scooter distance to most cool things in DTSP.

Unlike a traditional housing co-op, the St Peace House will be professionally managed to provide a high quality resident experience.

We also have an open position available for a community lead:
