In addition to having access to popular parks, locals can be in Downtown Tampa after a short 17-mile drive. Nature lovers and busy employees will find their space in New Tampa South. “We’re right next to I-75, close to the University of South Florida and have access to shopping near the university,” says Kaylee Heckinger, the assistant manager at The Beck at Hidden River and someone who grew up in the area.

Visiting University Mall or diverse food spots

When locals need to stock up on groceries, they have a few options closer to the University of South Florida. Some might stop by Publix or the brand-new Sprouts Farmers Market by the mall. Others drive down North 56th Street to shop at one of the multiple international stores like Al-Aqsa Grocery or Ramallah Market Produce & Bakery.
