Boo!!! one of the most corrupt towns in all of Florida! Please go to:
Maniotes.com and you will see what I mean. Please read thru
the entire web-site and go thru all the links. DO NOT waste your hard
earned $$$ on the garbage you will find here. The Town is not only
totally corrupt but scanky, under-educated, just downright
disgraceful. Unless you would like to be entertained- and your money
stolen by this montley crew of Town employess and politicians, stay
away!! Lived here for 30 years, and can't wait to get out! BEWARE!

Reddington is my favorite public beach in Pinellas. Lots of cool houses there too. I don't know about the costs, taxes or housing prices. But it's a fun place to go. Crime is not a problem there.

I have to agree with St Pete guy.. I have a friend who has lived there and if I am not mistaken, he was involved with the city gov't. As a disclaimer, I think it was N. Reddington not Reddington.

The only problem as I see it, will be the cost of HOI. A friend of mines insurance was $17K a year.
