About Gulfport
Gulfport sits on Boca Ciega Bay between St. Petersburg and the beaches, with a casino ballroom, a waterfront district on Beach Boulevard and older neighborhoods running inland.
Low streets near the bay flooded in 2024, while inland blocks saw wind and tree damage. The result is a mix of teardowns near the water and smaller cleanup jobs farther in.
The housing in Gulfport
1920s to 1950s cottages and bungalows, mid-century block homes and some manufactured homes. Teardowns near the bay, garage and shed removal, and debris clearing are typical.
