Neighborhood walkability, with major streets leading to amenities
Walkability is limited to residential streets. “There’re no significant commercial areas to walk to, like restaurants or things like that, but there are sidewalks throughout the neighborhood,” says Aaron Barker, a Realtor with Keller Williams South Tampa who sells throughout the south Tampa area. “When I drive around there in the evening, I see people out walking their dogs and kids out riding their bikes.”
Outside of the neighborhood, residents primarily get around by car. Gandy Boulevard and Selmon Expressway run along the neighborhood’s south side connect locals to the Gandy Bridge and then, St. Petersburg, about 20 miles away.
