Overview of Osprey Pointe
Osprey Pointe is a residential complex located at St. Petersburg, FL 33712, USA. It offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, as well as apartments (the exact layout of “apartment” units may vary—confirm with the operator). The property is listed on an independent student‑housing platform and is one of two student‑housing options in the St. Petersburg market (the other property is not named here). Rent starts at USD 1,075 per month and goes up to USD 1,535 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator).
The property is available from 13 July 2026. It features a picnic area, a swimming pool, and a courtyard. No minimum lease term is provided in the listing; you will need to check directly with the property manager.
Price positioning in St. Petersburg
The city’s starting price for student housing is also USD 1,075 per month, meaning Osprey Pointe’s minimum rent matches the market’s entry level. If your budget is tight, the cheapest one‑bedroom unit here could be a viable option. The maximum rent of USD 1,535 is at the higher end for the local student‑housing segment, likely reflecting larger two‑bedroom units or apartments with better features. Because the city has only two listed properties, price comparison is limited. Always compare total costs (including utilities, if any) before deciding.
Note: All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
Room types and what to expect
The listing shows three possible room types:
- 1 Bedroom (1b) – Typically a one‑bedroom, one‑bathroom unit. According to one resident review, a 1b/1ba unit was older and “in need of an update” but was affordable. If you are on a tight budget and value space over modern finishes, this may work.
- 2 Bedroom (2b) – A two‑bedroom unit, suitable for sharing with a flatmate. Price will be at the higher end of the range.
- Apartment – This generic category could include studios or other configurations. Clarify with the operator what size and layout “apartment” refers to.
The property does not specify whether units are furnished. Check the lease terms and bring your own furniture if needed.

Below are verbatim quotes from three published reviews (names and ratings as given):
Jonathan Hart (Rating: 2)
“I’ve stayed at this complex for about 3 years. I was very appreciative of the opportunity to stay as a first time renter. My unit was older and in need of an update, but for the price 1bed/1ba, I couldn’t complain. What I could complain about is the lack of communication and maintenance issue that I experienced there.”
barber Anaya (Rating: 5)
“Big Thanks to Valerie Acevedo! Valerie took her time and made sure I was taken care of. She made sure she kept me up to date with it all. From start to finish Valerie made sure i had a smooth transition. Very truthful and honest. What an amazing experience!! Thanks Valerie and Yolanda Bonilla for staying on top of it a”
Shanice Jackson (Rating: 5)
“My name is Priscilla Jones and I was having a hard time with my Umbrello app I needed help so I came to the office. Valerie is my leasing agent but she was busy. Even though Josh was busy he started helping me that Friday and told me to come back Saturday. When I came in, he was busy showing and moving people into apar”
From these reviews, you can see a contrast: long‑term tenants may encounter older units and maintenance delays, while newer residents or those dealing with specific staff members (Valerie and Josh) report positive assistance. The property’s management and communication appear inconsistent.
Who this residence is for (and who might look elsewhere)
Osprey Pointe could suit you if:
- You have a limited budget and want to pay the city’s lowest starting rent (USD 1,075 per month).
- You do not mind an older unit that may need upkeep, provided the price remains low.
- You value a swimming pool, courtyard, and picnic area as on‑site amenities.
- You are willing to be proactive about maintenance requests and communication (since the management has received mixed feedback).
- You prefer a location that reviewers rate 4.3 for both location and getting around – helpful if you rely on public transport or walking.
You might look elsewhere if:
- You expect a modern, fully updated apartment with consistent maintenance.
- You cannot tolerate potential delays in repairs or unclear communication from the office.
- You need a fully furnished unit or specific lease terms that are not disclosed here.
- You want a property with a larger number of student‑housing choices nearby (only two properties are listed in St. Petersburg).
When to book your room
The first available move‑in date is 13 July 2026. Since the city inventory is small (two properties), desirable units may fill sooner than in larger markets. If you are certain about Osprey Pointe, consider booking a tour or confirming availability a few months ahead – for instance, in spring 2026 for a July move‑in. If you need to move in later in the year, check whether the operator offers flexible start dates.
There is no stated minimum lease term, so you may be able to negotiate a shorter or longer stay. Always clarify the lease duration and any renewal terms in writing.
