I may be difficult to find a nice townhome or condo in S. Tampa for under $200k, but if you afford $50k more you may be able to find a short sale. You should look at the highrise condo on Bayshore named 345 Bayshore, Parkcrest on Harbour Island or drive around the cool condos in Channelside - The Place, Ventana, Victory Loft, Grand Central. Also, look at Skypoint located downtown on Ashley St. These condos are located in a great area and would have alot of single people living there.

You can search for condos/townhomes at http://www.buytampafl.com/search/main-property-search.shtml

Forget about being single and just drive neighborhoods and determine what makes you feel good...

You can find condos and townhomes in that price range at http://www.southtampazipcodes.com

SOHO, S Tampa, Hyde Park, Port Tampa, and nearby area's

Single and looking, or looking to stay single in a cozy area, quiet and family oriented?
look up for zip codes 33629, 33611 where I live ... it's nice getting everywhere in 5 min; either to St. Pete, Brandon or the Airport, check the link below and call me.

If you are single and looking in South Tampa, Hyde Park is a hot spot. The benefit is the close proximity to restaurants, bars, shopping and downtown. The area of Hyde park has a "young" feel and it is common to people out walking, dining and shopping all the time!
