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.

Very disappointed

We went 3 days with no AC, there was a leak coming from one of the locked closets. Smelled like cigarette smoke, holes in the wall, dirty sheets and pillow cases, even found a dirty diaper under one of the beds. One bed was broken. The pole was the best party but the maintenance and cleaning on this apartment was not good at all. I would not stay here again.

Family trip

We stayed at this location on our way to Tampa for a cruise. We were really impressed by not only the location, spacious rooms, cleanliness, amenities but kindness, honesty and prompt response of the owner. We would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking for a room in this area to stay here. Will stay again!!
