Way To Go, Historic Kenwood

Congratulations to homeowners in St. Petersburg's Historic Kenwood community. In case you haven't heard, the lovely community of bungalows and cottages has been ranked Number 5 in Cottage Living magazine's 2006 list of the Top 10 Cottage Communities.

The magazine cites the area's Craftsman-style bungalows, old-fashioned hexagonal block sidewalks, social gatherings, red brick streets, and special holiday decorations installed by the famous Kenwood Elves. I'll bet the lovely comunity park and the open front porches of many of the homes helped too!
