Within South Tampa home communities you will find waterfront condos, pool homes, historic bungalows, ranch style Florida style homes, majestic mansions and everything in between. Many of the South Tampa homes have been restored or remodeled and continue to do so, since this ever popular area of Tampa homes have resale value. You will find a cultural mix of people and places within South Tampa neighborhoods along with lots of great food to feast on.

South Tampa area borders between the lovely, tree-lined trendy and hip Hyde Park/Soho area to the north, all the way down to the tip of the peninsula where MacDill Air Force Base is located. In between these two borders lie some of the most beautiful Tampa homes, exquisite restaurants, hip shops and everything in between. South Tampa is convenient to its downtown area, Tampa International Airport, 2 major shopping malls like Westshore Plaza and International Plaza, and high ranking schools.

 Located just minutes southwest of downtown, South Tampa features the longest continuous sidewalk in the world—yes, the world—along beautiful Bayshore Boulevard overlooking Hillsborough Bay.

On one of Tampa’s balmy sunny days, it will nearly take your breath away.  Take a boat ride around Davis Island, Harbor Island and the Bayshore.

The Bayfront is also the site of Gasparilla, Tampa's longest-running and most renowned event. Since 1904, the city's movers and shakers in Gasparilla have donned pirate garb, boarded a replica pirate ship and “invaded” the city. The colorful celebration held each January or February, also features parades, balls, fireworks and other festivities. For the past 5 years, South Tampa holds a Taste of South Tampa to showcase all of its wonderful restaurants.
