A growing riverfront neighborhood located 5 miles from Downtown Tampa
Riverbend, a residential neighborhood of Tampa, lives up to its name as its streets rest inside the curve of a major waterway. "It's up and coming, bordered on the Hillsborough River. We live on the river and love it. It's more affordable riverfront than other areas," says Realtor Kevin Hearne, a neighborhood resident for 13 years and board member of the Riverbend Civic Association. The area offers parks, houses on the water and a business district on Hillsborough Avenue that supports a diverse food scene. Locals also enjoy major attractions like ZooTampa and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay within 5 miles of home.
Of course, waterfront living is an option for some in Riverbend.

Ranch-styles and newer construction are common around these Tampa suburbs
North of downtown Tampa, Riverbend comprises grid-style blocks featuring larger lots with garden beds and diverse single-family homes. Architectural styles include ranch-style homes and larger riverfront homes incorporating Craftsman, farmhouse and Modern architectural features. Much of the newer housing lies on secluded winding roads, and remodeled homes have become more common. "My wife and I have helped raise the bar and renovated the neighborhood," Hearne says. "We did a total gut renovation to a 1950s home. We're planning to build four new homes." Riverbend properties between $300,000 and $400,000 don't last long; most sell within a month of being listed. New builds and recently renovated homes tend to be priced much higher, starting at around $560,000 and as high as $800,000 for those near the Hillsborough River.

Tampa's hurricane experience leads city to constantly improve disaster plans
Hillsborough County has a continuous record of being impacted by hurricanes.
