WESTMINSTER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN Traditional neighborhoods in St. Petersburg were platted in the early 1920s. The Construction Boom map below shows the number of existing homes by the decade they were built. This is useful in giving an indication of when construction activity peaked and ebbed. During the 1930s, growth slowed down because of the Depression, but in the 1940s, another major construction boom was indicated by the 64 homes that are still part of the Westminster Heights neighborhood’s housing stock. The 1950s were the largest housing boom in the area to date with 291 homes existing. Construction continued in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with 19, 23, and 9 homes. Given that most all the land has been developed earlier, only 22 homes have been built over the past 12 years (see Construction Boom map).
