Arbor Greene Homes for Rent

Arbor Greene in Tampa is a community established in the late 90s, designed to offer a resort-like living experience. Governed by a dedicated board and district administration, the neighborhood features Mediterranean-style homes with stucco exteriors, arched entryways, and clay-tile roofs, alongside some with shingled roofs and stone embellishments. The houses are painted in sandy beiges, soft yellows, and muted greys, complemented by palm trees and lush ferns, creating a tropical atmosphere. The residential streets loop around small lakes and wooded areas, with live-oak trees lining the well-manicured lawns. Arbor Greene borders the Lower Hillsborough Wildlife Area to the south, offering residents access to hardwood swamps with boardwalk trails and bike paths. Within the neighborhood, sidewalks and streetlights provide safe walking paths, and a weekly walk group encourages social exercise. Playgrounds with playsets and half-court basketball areas are scattered throughout. The community boasts a resort pool with sunning chairs and a Junior-Olympic-designed lap pool, kept between 80 and 84 degrees year-round. Eight clay tennis courts and a small fitness room with strength and cardio equipment are available for residents. The community center, featuring the Gathering Room, hosts special events, parties, and clubs such as Book Club and Women’s Wine-Down Wednesdays. While Arbor Greene lacks commercial areas, requiring residents to travel about three miles for groceries, it is rich in amenities and activities for a fulfilling day within the neighborhood.
