Hyde Park - Spanishtown Creek

• Neighborhood in Tampa, FL
• Rating 3 out of 5  2 reviews

Nearby Resident: This is NOT called Spanish town. It's an excellent area and a very popular place to live and spend time in. The schools they list for this area are NOT correct. Great restaurants, place to hang out! Great area to live. University of Tampa nearby and close to Downtown.Read 2 Reviews

Park Lake/Highland

• Neighborhood in Orlando, FL
• Rating 4.2 out of 5  5 reviews

Current Resident: Park Lake/Highland is a hidden gem and it is quickly becoming a colorful neighborhood. Commuting is a breeze with multiple outlets to I-4, Downtown Orlando and Winter Park. But the best part of the neighborhood is the lively art, theater, and restaurant scene. It's exciting to see the neighborhood grow while continuing to maintain its original charm...Read 5 Reviews

Thornton Park

• Neighborhood in Orlando, FL
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: I cannot get enough of this location. Thornton is the most walkable place in Central Florida. Being able to walk to food, downtown nightlife, Lake Eola, the gym, and even Publix is a luxury I never thought I would get to experience. ...The neighbors are friendly and the area feels very secure. I hadn’t really connected with a neighbor in years, so the friendliness of Thornton has been a very nice experience.Read 1 Review

Carver City/Lincoln Gardens

• Neighborhood in Tampa, FL
• Rating 5 out of 5  2 reviews

Current Resident: I grew up in this neighborhood. It's close the 2 malls as well as Raymond James Stadium. My mother and I always say this is the safest neighborhood in Tampa, FL. There's practically no crime and the majority of the residents are elders. It's like one of those neighborhoods you see on TV, even in 2019 all the neighbors watch out for and discipline each other children and grandchildren. To me its a great place to raise your family...Read 2 Reviews

Uptown

• Neighborhood in Orlando, FL
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: Don’t be fooled, the neighborhood is called The North Quarter not Uptown and it has personality to match. It is a very art centric, residential neighborhood with many members of the Opera, Ballet, poets and painters living here. The heart of the neighborhood is The North Quarter Market where you can find poetry slams, weekend markers and general community activities...Read 1 Review

Channel District

• Neighborhood in Tampa, FL
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: The District is a fantastic place to live, and getting better with each passing month. Between a great, very convenient location in Tampa Bay, walkability, and lots of great amenities like Riverwalk, the Aquarium, dog parks and dog friendly businesses, and a rapidly growing list of restaurants, bars and great places to live The Disrict is hard to beat. Factor in the major neighborhood development that will come with the huge Vinik investment and other projects, we will be moving up this list in the next few years...Read 1 Review

Coytown

• Neighborhood in Orlando, FL
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Current Resident: Centrally located mere minutes from The Milk District, Mills 50 District, Audubon Park and Baldwin Park we enjoy the wide variety of unique restaurants, bars and shops in the area. The wide bike/pedestrian path along Bumby makes travel by bike to any of these nearby locales a fun trip out in the neighborhood. Downtown is just a 7 minute drive away (not on I-4 either!), so it's easy for work commuting or just going downtown to enjoy the nightlife...Read 1 Review

Brickell

Current Resident: It is Pete friendly, clean and full of places to go and things too do. You won’t get bored! There is a decent middle school, but I don’t recommend it for high school. There are two Starbucks, a lot of restaurants and plenty of places to go at night. There’s a metromover That goes all around Brickell and takes you to downtown for free. It leaves you right next to mdc. There is a metro rail station and trolleys as well...Read 18 Reviews
