Business District with shopping, dining and a waterfront park
Connectivity is the keyword in Westshore, the principal business district of Tampa Bay. Just next door to Tampa International Airport and filled with state-of-the-art meeting spaces and a plethora of companies, Westshore is a favorite among business professionals. Still, it is perfect for anyone who wants to live in the center of activity. When not at work, residents of this West Tampa neighborhood enjoy proximity to various amenities. “Westshore has proximity to both Westshore Plaza and International Plaza along with some really nice restaurants,” says Thomas Settles, a Broker with the Pinpoint Realty Group. Along with shopping and dining, the neighborhood is home to Cypress Point Park, where locals can sink their feet in the sand and enjoy views of the Gulf of Mexico.
Westshore is just outside of Tampa yet close to everything.
Meeting spaces, like this one at Four Points by Sheraton are all over the Westshore area.

Employment hotbed
"The majority of people who live in Westshore also work in Westshore," says Michael Maurino, Executive Director of Westshore Alliance, the district's chamber of commerce. More than 6,5000 businesses operate here—from startups to Fortune 500 companies. "The odds are, you're going to be able to find a good job because of all the industry," says Maurino. "And several places have blue-collar and white-collar jobs in the same space, like the airport." Westshore has more than $1 billion in private investments and several planned projects underway. Several hotels and venues feature premiere office and meeting spaces, featuring over 265,000 square feet of meeting space to accommodate small groups or large conferences.
The Westshore neighborhood is home to many large, national companies.

Condominiums, townhouses and a variety of single-family homes
After a long workday, locals may not have to go far to kick off their shoes. "You can live in a single-family residence and have a Class A business space at the end of your block," says Maurino. The area's diverse housing portfolio includes apartments, condos, townhouses and single-family homes. Airport regulations mean there aren't any tall buildings, which also keeps multifamily housing less costly, says Maurino. Condominiums have sold for between $125,000 and $610,000, with HOA fees that range from $350 to $550. Bungalow and ranch-style homes are also popular and have sold for between $200,000 and $650,000. There are also new Spanish-style construction and contemporary townhouses with modern updates, such as hardwood flooring, crown molding and quartz counters. These have sold for between $300,000 and $830,000. New-build contemporary homes have gone for between $600,000 and $1.2 million. Westshore housing prices are competitive within the larger Tampa market, says Maurino. "Many South Tampa residents are being priced out of their homes, but Westshore has the same amenities and access, but housing is cheaper," Maurino says. As for crime, the CAP Index gave Westshore a Crime Score of 6 out of 10, higher than the national average.
There are many townhomes being built in Westshore as well.

Sporting events and concerts at Raymond James Stadium
Nearby Raymond James Stadium and George M. Steinbrenner Field not only serve as sports facilities for football and baseball teams but also double as concert and event spaces, with headliners such as U2, Beyonce, Sting and Taylor Swift.
Bordered by the Tampa International Airport
Although three major highways—Interstate 275, Memorial Highway and the North Dale Mabry Highway—surround Westshore, local transportation is Westshore's Achille's heel. The Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) and Tampa Bay Regional Transit Authority (TBARTA) are poorly funded and not the most reliable or efficient, says Maurino. "Instead of taking the bus, people walk or ride bicycles to work because they find it's faster," he says. But things are changing. "Westshore Alliance was partly founded to solve transportation issues in the district. That's why we've made investments in walkability. We've done a lot of work with improving sidewalks and enhancing the pedestrian experience in the public realm," says Maurino. Fortunately, domestic and international flights are highly convenient for Westshore residents with Tampa International Airport forming Westshore's northern boundary and linking Westshore to the rest of the world. The nearest hospital is St. Joseph’s Hospital, 5 miles away.
Residents of Westshore have very easy access to Tampa International Airport.
