  • Gina T.
    "Tampa Heights is Tampa's oldest neighborhood, with many historic bungalows and towering lush oak trees. Tampa Heights is in a preferred flood zone thus flood rates are the lowest. Much restoration has been going on and the Tampa Heights Civic Association is active and involved. Located just south of Seminole Heights and close to its interesting, off-beat restaurants and stores. Schools are neighborhood-based. Wonderfully located, Tampa Heights has easy access to public transportation. It also is five minutes from the downtown Tampa business district, St. Joseph's Hospital and surrounding medical facilities, five minutes from the University of Tampa and Tampa General Hospital. "
