Hyde Park, Tampa: Location, Homes, & Lifestyle

[@jackiellis3910]

I lived at 1115 Bayshore Blvd in the 60's. My dad rented it for $350 /month. I see it was listed for $6 million. So many wonderful memories. We lived on Davis Island as well. Loved the Gasparilla ship

[@undeadarmy19]

Even though $350 in 1960 would be equivalent to $3,700 today, thats still a LOT less than what a place like that would cost today. I was looking at Hyde Park House (whilst researching info regarding the viral 'crying single mom bakes her own birthday cake' video. Her address is listed as being at Hyde Park House Unit 603) and saw that HOA fees alone cost roughly $2k-$5.5k/mo. Thats on top of the payments for your lease/mortgage, which run between $15k/mo and $55k/mo. It amazes me that people are willing to spend that kind of money on a place to live, especially a place thats basically a really nice apartment.

Very nice job! You covered quite a bit about Tampa's best neighborhood, and your voice is very pleasing to listen to as well. I love all the Craftsman bungalows, and other non-Florida traditional home styles. It is so central, and a great walking/biking area is always important, and so close to downtown and the airport. Hope the Rays move downtown, as their dome and location are not good (I saw plans for an Ybor City glass bubble dome that looks nice, but should be closer to 40k seats than 30k, as the current indoor dome is depressing, though the team is pretty good the past decade+). I wish I had invested in a rental back in the 1990s, when I first visited Hyde Park, as median price was nowhere near $800k, and I knew it would blossom, but I was leery of long distance rentals (lived in Seattle at the time). To me, Hyde Park and Sarasota/Siesta Key are the best area of Tampa Bay, and a rival to the Palm Beaches as best place in Florida to live. This was one of the best neighborhood tour videos I have seen, and just the right amount of info vs salesmanship! The area can sell itself if people just take a look. Also good to hear schools are highly-rated, since much of FLA is below the national average - though this is not a direct concern for me, but I like neighborhoods where there is a good cross-section of ages and backgrounds. I love culture and outdoor recreation opportunities (also the variety of trees beyond just palms), as well as lots of close food & shopping options. Berns is great for a fancy steak dinner, and Trader Joe's and WF are great stores, and nice to see there is a farmer's market once a month. Interesting that I bought a shirt very similar to the one you are wearing, in Hyde Park at an A&F or Brooks Bros, I think. I love porches, and most FL homes do not have them (Florida rooms or patios on the back are much more common), and it is a good way to meet your neighbors. Thanks for the tour, Kris!

It is great for families!

Can you do a video like this for Davis island

It’s in the works

The only bad thing about Florida is the hurricanes

[@kriskennedyre]

Some people may argue the summer heat and humidity to be less than ideal. But Florida is awesome for so many reasons.

[@jxshrodgers]

Is Tampa a good place to live if you're moving alone?

[@kriskennedyre]

Sure. give me a ring or email if you'd like to discuss this in more depth

[@RatherBeCancelledThanHandled]

Texas vs Florida in regards to gun laws , freedom and liberty ? (How is covid being handled ? )

[@kriskennedyre]

That’s a timely topic. I need to do research on Texas gun laws compared to FL to provide an educated answer to that.
