The Harbour Island areas is well maintained and right on the waterfront. Residents are just a walkable bridge away from Downtown Tampa and Channelside. All this being said, t
Pros
  • Close to Tampa's Urban Core
  • Good level of security
  • Newer community compared to other South Tampa areas

"Centrally located to Tampa's nightlife"

While the neighborhood is not very large, it does contain large homes on large lots. The streets are tree lined and the homes in many parts seem to sit up higher than the street itself, which gives a nice presence as you drive through. The location of Parkland Estates also provides easy access to South Howard Ave and even Hyde Park Village.
Pros
  • Close enought to South Howard to enjoy the nightlife
  • Large sized lots
Cons
  • Situated between many busy streets
