South Tampa Real Estate Information
 South
Tampa is the name commonly used to refer to residential and commercial
areas located anywhere South of Kennedy Boulevard. Yet more than
just residential or commercial area, South Tampa is
a community that has a unique blend of culture, history, beauty
and convenience. Many consider this area to be somewhat of a "melting
pot," bringing together so many aspects from so many other
places. Many of the homes that exist within this area have
a Victorian elegance to them, and with the tree-shaded streets and
beautiful Bay scenery, South
Tampa FL is a truly unique area.
Parts of South Tampa's history date back to the Roaring Twenties,
with architecture and ambience that still reflect the extravagant
beauty that was commonplace in that time period. Historic properties
lay scattered throughout the area including the "Honeymoon
House" of Peter O. Knight, the man who founded Lee County,
started the Exchange National Bank, Tampa Gas Company and the Tampa
Suburban Railway. Other remarkably preserved Historic Buildings
and Homes owned by influential people of the past stand in South
Tampa today. With such an impressive historical background and a
pristine elegance that radiates the area, South Tampa is an obvious
choice for a supreme living environment.
In order to keep the historic appeal alive and thriving, several
protection and preservation committees have been instituted by state
and local decision. One such operation is the Hyde Park Preservation
Inc., which protects the architectural and historical integrity
of the Hyde Park area. The HPPI even arranges local law enforcement
officials to patrol the Hyde Park streets during special
event nights in order to help support a safe area.
 Within
South Tampa, there are a number of upscale and casual entertainment
options. From nightclubs at Channelside to day activities
in the local shops, the South Tampa area has so much to offer.
Sports fans will love the areas close access to both Raymond James
Stadium, the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Legends Field,
home of the Tampa Yankees and the field where the New York Yankees
play spring training games. In addition to the great access to local
sports teams, the South Tampa population is exclusively privileged
to gain membership and full access to the Yacht Club in Ballast
Point and the Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club. The Yacht
Club is exclusively for members only, and offers several programs
for individuals in Tennis, Equestrian Sports, Boating and many other
exciting activities! The Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club is also
an exclusive club with stunning elegance and exhilarating activities
reserved for members. With a Golf Course that dates back to 1916,
this Country Club is a piece of history that is the perfect opportunity
for golfers of any skill level. The famous 13th Hole offers golfers
a spectacular view of the Club House in all of its splendor. With
so much to offer for a nominal enrollment fee, these two establishments
offer South Tampa homeowners entertainment, luxury and a sense of
community.
South Tampa is also the host city to a number of interesting and
unique activites, such as the Bayshore Sidewalk, which is the longest
continual sidewalk in the world. The Bayshore Sidewalk is the perfect
place to enjoy an evening jog or a morning stroll with man's best
friend alike as all of the area's in South Tampa are dog friendly!
Another uncommon feature found within the quirky charm of South
Tampa is the trolley system. For a mere 50 cents, the Trolley can
