What it’s like
The place. South Highpoint is a small community in Pinellas County, Florida, on the Gulf coast side of the Tampa Bay area. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and daytime weather that stays pleasant, while summers are hot, with August the warmest. Rain falls through the year, so the climate suits people who like to be outdoors much of the time. Poverty is more common here than in many places, and the typical household income is lower than the county's.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Some of the largest workplaces in South Highpoint are Suncoast Chemicals, which makes swimming pool chemicals, the National Aviation Academy of Tampa Bay, a two-year college, and Sun Wholesale Supply, a pool and equipment wholesaler. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many communities, a fair number work from home, and the usual trip to work is a modest one.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Moccasin Lake Nature Park and Caladesi Island State Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away, and the Safety Harbor Site, an archaeological site, is close as well. A longer drive brings you to the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg and the Salvador Dalí Museum, along with the bigger draws of the Tampa Bay area.
