Lealman Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
4 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Lealman is a densely populated unincorporated community in Pinellas County, wedged between Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg, historically known for lower-cost housing relative to its Tampa Bay neighbors. Multifamily rentals cluster mainly around the 76th Ave N/Park Blvd corridor near the Shoppes at Park Place in the community's northeast corner.
As of mid-2026, one-bedroom rents in the area average roughly $1,200-$1,400/month. Because Lealman is unincorporated and shares zip codes and postal city names with neighboring Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg, some nearby listings marketed under those city names may sit just across the Lealman boundary — a common ambiguity for this CDP that we've flagged rather than papered over.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
