First developed in the 1920’s, Beach Park was envisioned as an intimate enclave nestled upon the shores of Old Tampa Bay amongst the tropical brush, palms and grand oaks. Although an abundance of elegant architectural styles now make up this shaded community, Beach Park was originally restricted to stately Spanish Med style homes with no more than twenty chickens per household.
Eighty of these historic Beach Park homes still populate the winding, quiet streets and lend to the community’s striking appearance. Now home to over 1,500 households and almost 4,000 residents, Beach Park is a highly desired area due to its relative seclusion within the confines of South Tampa. Lightly trafficked streets populated with residents enjoying all the outdoor beauty and benefits that Florida’s climate offers give this area a neighborly feeling of camaraderie and connectivity. This close-knit neighborhood still reaps the benefits of Tampa Bay’s amenities by affording quick access to the abundant business, shopping, entertainment and activity opportunities in the area. A highly desirable area, this neighborhood is truly distinguished by the people that make their home in and love Beach Park.
Primarily served by Plant High School, Wilson Middle and Coleman Middle Schools and Mabry and Grady Elementary Schools.
