Where Is South Tampa?

South Tampa covers the Interbay Peninsula from Kennedy Boulevard south to MacDill Air Force Base, with Hillsborough Bay on the east and Old Tampa Bay on the west. Downtown Tampa sits just across the Hillsborough River, and Bayshore Boulevard runs along the eastern shoreline with a 4.5-mile waterfront sidewalk from downtown to Gandy Boulevard. Major roads include Dale Mabry Highway, Gandy Boulevard (U.S. 92), West Shore Boulevard, Bay to Bay Boulevard and the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, which links South Tampa to downtown and Brandon.

What Is Davis Islands?

Davis Islands is a man-made island neighborhood at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, developed by D. P. Davis during the 1920s Florida land boom. Many of its original Mediterranean Revival buildings are historically protected. The islands are home to Tampa General Hospital, a Level I trauma center and teaching hospital; Peter O. Knight Airport; the Davis Island Yacht Club; and the walkable shops and restaurants of East Davis Boulevard. Waterfront estates on the island's outer edges are among the most expensive homes in Tampa.

What Should South Tampa Buyers Know About Flood Zones?

Much of South Tampa sits at low elevation near the bay, so flood zone, elevation, the year a home was built and flood insurance cost can change the true cost of ownership as much as the purchase price. Newer homes are often built higher to meet current standards. Ask for the elevation certificate and an insurance quote before you write an offer, and compare homes on the same street, not just the same ZIP code.

Schools, Parks and Daily Life

Public schools in South Tampa are part of Hillsborough County Public Schools, including Plant High School and Robinson High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district's boundary locator before you buy. Bayshore Boulevard is the area's signature place to walk, run and bike, and Hyde Park Village, International Plaza and Westshore are nearby for shopping. Tampa International Airport is a short drive north via Dale Mabry Highway or West Shore Boulevard.
