About Tampa, FL

Incredibly diverse in its makeup, South Tampa is a mixture of all the right ingredients that combine to create a wonderful community in which to live. The South Tampa residential peninsula is surrounded by two of the largest business districts in Hillsborough County, MacDill Air Force Base, world class retail centers, and amazing homes. The eclectic neighborhoods of the area provide a variety of lifestyles - from urban condos to luxury waterfront homes to early 1900s frame bungalows set on charming streets with towering shady oaks. With deep roots which were planted in the early settlement of the Tampa Bay area, South Tampa has retained much of its Southern charm and hometown feel through the years. Unlike any other areas of Hillsborough County, the community offers a unique quality of life enriched by the diversity of its residents and abundant waterfront venues, dining, shopping, and arts and culture establishments.
