South St. Petersburg

I'm looking to buy my first property in the St. Petersburg area. Has anyone purchased in the South St. Petersburg area? It's still very rough in some parts but, real estate is limited close to downtown and it seems renovations and gentrification is moving that way? There seems to be opportunity in small multifamily in that area? Any suggestions or information is much appreciated!

@Sal Merola I live on the other side of the skyway bridge in Bradenton and have done a handful of deals in south St. Pete. Around 2012 or 2013 I had multiple houses GIVEN to me for free (in fact one came from here on BP). There are some decent pockets but there's some very very rough areas. I would strongly suggest getting with an experienced agent and be very careful.
