Why locals love Beach Park in South Tampa
South Tampa's Beach Park neighborhood dates back to the 1920s, and residents today still love its sprawling live oak canopies and picturesque homes, especially those on the water. The neighborhood's luxury market draws professional athletes and CEOs, according to local real estate experts. It remains a sought-after space with private docks, zoning for top schools, walkable streets and a tight-knit community with events and social clubs.

Luxury market with a median price in the millions
Prices are high compared to Tampa, although they're closer to the more expensive South Tampa market. Beach Park's median single-family home price is nearly $1.5 million, and waterfront homes can go for up to almost $9 million.
Homes include vintage Mediterranean-styles and various mansions
"You'll find all kinds of architecture there, which also makes it unique when you drive through," says Krista Maddox, Realtor with Smith & Associates Real Estate and a South Tampa native. "People envision these Florida neighborhoods that all look the same, and it's not like that at all." Prominent Tampa architects designed many of the neighborhood's original homes in Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Revival and Italianate styles. Midcentury ranch-styles sprang up later on. The Mediterranean style is common here, and luxury mansions throughout the neighborhood have various other design influences, including sleek contemporary properties. Maddox says buyers appreciate slightly larger lot sizes for the area, allowing for bigger custom homes. Waterfront properties come with seawalls and private docks.

Bustling business district blocks away
Residents enjoy a walkable layout with low traffic, sidewalks and shade. But Maddox says locals ususally drive to get errands done. U.S. Route 92 and Kennedy Boulevard offer lots of nearby restaurants and grocery options like Trader Joe's, Fresh Market and Publix. Local highlights include London Pride, a specialty British store, and Fresh Kitchen, a Florida chain serving bowls with veggies, protein and grains. The neighborhood's Town Square plaza has a Barnes & Noble, a Petco and a Starbucks.

Dedicated green space at Swann Circle Park
Swann Circle Park provides a grassy green space at the heart of the neighborhood, with pet waste stations and benches beneath the tree canopy.

Holiday events, potlucks and social clubs help create a neighborly vibe Beach Park.
