Established neighborhood on the border of South Tampa
Quiet, grassy side streets meet commercial hubs along Kennedy Boulevard and Dale Mabry Highway in the neighborhood of Oakford Park. “People in Oakford Park are close to downtown Tampa and new commercial developments in Midtown, and a lot of them are zoned for Plant High School,” says Nicole Gossett, a Realtor at Century 21 LIST with BEGGINS who specializes in new construction homes in South Tampa. “They get the same great commuter access, shopping and schools for lower prices than neighborhoods south of Kennedy Boulevard.” Essentially equidistant to all that Westshore, Downtown and South Tampa have to offer, Oakford Park connects its residents to the wider Tampa area without losing its peaceful neighborhood vibe.
