Overview
SoHo (South Howard Avenue) and Hyde Park sit side by side in the heart of South Tampa, and together they're among the city's most sought-after places to live for anyone who wants to walk to dinner. Hyde Park is one of Tampa's historic neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets, restored homes and the open-air shops and restaurants of Hyde Park Village. A few blocks west, the SoHo corridor along South Howard is lined with restaurants, bars and cafés.
It's a favorite of younger players, coaches and executives who want energy, convenience and a short drive to everything: downtown, the arena, the Bucs facility and Tampa International Airport are all close, and the Bayshore waterfront is steps away.
Gated access & security
SoHo and Hyde Park are open, public neighborhoods. Security depends on the property: new-construction townhome enclaves with gated entries, gated driveways, cameras and monitored systems make the biggest difference.
For crime statistics, rely on official sources: search any address on the LexisNexis Community Crime Map ↗, or check with the local police department or sheriff's office.
Privacy
This is a lively, walkable area, so privacy is lower than in gated estate communities. Homes are closer together, and streets near South Howard see restaurant and nightlife foot traffic. Homes on quieter interior streets, with walls, gates and mature landscaping, offer more discretion.
Homes
A wide mix: historic bungalows and restored homes, new-construction luxury townhomes, custom single-family homes and condos. New townhomes are popular with players who want a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave home close to the action.
Lifestyle
Hyde Park Village shopping, dining and events; SoHo's restaurants, bars and cafés; runs and walks on Bayshore Boulevard; and quick trips to downtown, the Riverwalk and Armature Works.
Flood & insurance
Flood exposure varies street by street. Areas closer to Bayshore and the bay can be in FEMA flood zones, while many interior streets are lower-risk. Check each address on the map.
