Step out onto the modest patio for a quiet moment, or head down to the community pool where you can splash and relax under the Florida sky. A basketball court and walking/biking trail wind through the grounds, and a grill area invites casual outdoor meals. The fitness center and nearby gym keep you active, while the clubhouse lounge offers a spot to read or chat with neighbors.
Kitchen & dining
The full kitchen is stocked with the essentials you need to whip up simple meals, and a breakfast nook tucked inside lets you enjoy casual mornings. A dedicated dining area seats everyone comfortably for shared meals, and the open layout makes it easy to move between cooking, eating, and relaxing.

The Neighborhood:
Suburban residential streets blend with a bit of urban charm in Tampa Palms, a pristine neighborhood just 14 miles northeast of Tampa, Florida. A short drive separates you from exploring the Florida Aquarium, dining at famous restaurants, and enjoying riverfront views at Tampa Riverwalk! Though Tampa Palms’ wooded streets give it a suburban look, the numerous apartment complexes, restaurants, shops, hospitals, and various businesses add some urban flair to the area.
Just south of town, discover University Mall with all of the mall classics—from a delicious food court and large movie theater to major department stores and popular retailers. A few miles further south, you’ll find Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island.
