Laidback Suburban Convenient Quiet Industrial Commuter

The Tampa Bypass Canal runs through the Eastside Tampa, providing residents with their water supply as well as recreational activities such as boating, paddling, fishing, and hiking along the banks.

Other residents choose this neighborhood because it is just six miles from downtown, offering an easy commute into Tampa via I-4.

Columbus Drive and East Broadway Avenue act as the area's hotspots, drawing locals and visitors to its restaurants, sandwich shops, pizzerias, and BBQ joints.
