Lealman

Lealman is an unincorporated suburban community in Pinellas County, Florida, bordered by St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park, and Kenneth City. The area has a working-class character and is still transitioning, some blocks are quieter and well-kept, while others reflect older infrastructure and need improvements. Crime and safety perceptions can vary significantly by street and block, so visiting in person and talking to residents is valuable. Lealman isn’t a high-density nightlife or cultural center on its own, most social, dining, and evening activities happen in nearby St. Petersburg or Pinellas Park.

U.S. 19 and I-275 run through or near the area, giving quick access to work, research centers, and social venues. Public transit bus routes also serve the community. Apartment rents tend to be lower than many nearby urban neighborhoods. Local green spaces like Raymond H. Neri Community Park and nearby Sawgrass Lake Park offer trails, boardwalks, and nature escapes. A mix of long-standing local eateries, Asian and Latin markets, breweries, and community spots give the area a diverse, grassroots vibe.
