Parkland Estates — South Tampa's Best Kept Secret
Parkland Estates is located just west of South Howard Avenue — the corridor known locally as SoHo — making it one of the most walkable luxury neighborhoods in all of Tampa. Every restaurant, bar, and boutique along SoHo is literally steps from Parkland Estates' tree-lined streets, while Hyde Park and Bayshore Boulevard are a stone's throw in the other direction. You get the best of both worlds without ever needing to get in your car.
A Family-Friendly Community With Serious Character
Known as a very family-friendly community, Parkland Estates features stunning streets lined with well-planned and thoughtfully designed homes — a mix of beautifully maintained older properties and tasteful new construction that respects the neighborhood's character. The streets are canopied with large Grand Oak trees that create a feeling of security and comfort while giving the neighborhood an almost fairyland-type atmosphere.
Parkland Estates is also defined by its large lot sizes and the beautiful character of its homes. Much like the city around it, this community has a strong sense of community pride — residents do an exceptional job maintaining the quality and charm that makes this neighborhood what it is.
