Urbex: Abandoned TRAILER PARK Tampa Bay Area Florida

**UPDATE: As of July, 2019, this site has been totally raized and ready for redevelopment.**
*Side Note* Around the 10:55 - 11:10 timeline, a portion of the video is blurred out as to protect past residents' names which were quite notably visible on the outside of some of the files.
Exploring a derelict abandoned trailer park in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida. I explored abandoned trailers and the structure onsite. It has been abandoned since around early 2018 - roughly a year before this upload. According to the county tax appraiser website, the holding company that currently owns the land purchased the trailer park in 2014 with the sale and deed transfer being finalized in 2016. They operated the trailer park for a short period while winding it down. They backfilled the pool in June of 2017 and capped off the water to the lots in February 2018. There is still one unit left, but it appears they have an eviction notice. They are likely waiting for the last residents to clear out before going into full-scale demolition unless the residents have already left - I haven't seen any signs of life there, so it's possible the holding company has run out of funds to complete the demolition. The park and buildings were built in the late 1940s with the ownership changing hands several times up to this point.

Good to see you posting again.🙂 I still think about The Cat Lady's house.

[@erikaelimei]

Crafty Fox that was my favorite!

[@heatherk.9937]

Crafty Fox omg me too!

[@HorrorGalSusan]

Me too!

[@TheSpectralReview]

@@hayley.26 The cat lady house unfortunately burned down. :(

[@PsychicRogue]

I think about it too.

[@rellegirl100]

I love urban exploration videos. You’re the only one that I can watch fully because your videos don’t give me motion sickness.

[@DreamHachi]

Hard to believe I was 14 when I started watching this channel. Its been 4 years, I'm glad to see new uploads.

[@WaileaGurl]

I sure hope those cats weren’t abandoned on the property. Poor kitties. Another fantastic video, thank you Tiki!

[@harryschultze6690]

I'm so glad you're posting again! I used to live in Margate Florida and it had several large trailer parks at one time, only one is left that I know of. It's a shame because they were mostly retirees on fixed incomes and people making 12 to 1400 a month on Social Security can't afford anything else, unfortunately Developers see this land for potential Apartments which are much more profitable with rent going 1500 to 2000 for single bedroom! I'm not kidding. It's very unfortunate for older retirees without money because they have no place to go anymore. It's gotten to be that you have to be rich to retire in Florida now in a condominium or whatever. I believe this is happening all over Florida. Great video by the way! Keep it up.

[@karmicvibez6377]

Harry, so true! Florida is grimey like that, glad i moved back north. Even medical care is a horror in Florida.

[@AbandonedOZ]

I’ve been so busy filming lately i forgot to check other channels. So glad to see you posting again as you are one of my inspirations. Welcome back :)

[@louisianabred616]

Thank you for posting! You were the first urbex that I watched and followed, therefore I judge all others according to your standards, no one can compete with you!! You are the BEST!!

[@TikiTrex]

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words!

[@sharong8511]

Louisiana Apple She has the loveliest voice on KZbin, too. I love TikiTrex! 👍👍💖

[@EllicottCity1]

Same here😊

[@NeilRoy]

Agreed. It was the same for me, her's was the first I watched and one of my favourites. I think my favourite explore of hers was the abandoned home with everything in it. Ummm... she found a book at the start called "Fox's Book of Martyrs" (a VERY disturbing book by the way). It was on e of those homes that had everything, clothes and all still in it and a hanging noose in one room. Made me wonder.

[@Laura-Kitty]

Same for me. She was the very first urbex I ever watched too. She's still my favorite. 😊

[@typingdude4833]

Typical 1960’s retired veterans paradise. WW2 and Korean War vets would flock down to these trailer parks for some affordable fun in the sun and live out their last days not worrying about shoveling snow. I had to laugh when you mentioned at the beginning that they may turn in this into a park LOL this is Florida, every square inch must get developed. Cool 1950’s and 1960’s mobile homes, once filled with happy retirees playing cards and swapping war stories. Be safe- I was cringing hoping you wouldn’t step on any rusty nails. That’s a huge danger, especially in tall grass. I’ve had nails go right through the bottom of my shoe. Thanks for a great explore!!!!

[@jonathanheussi6332]

You were my very first urbex experience , was so busy I didn't know there was such a thing. I've been an urbex addict since, I can't help it. So nice to see you're still active. Thanks so much!!!

[@jtmichaelson]

So nice to see you again :). Great video from my old hometown in Tampa Bay (St. Petersburg, to be exact).

[@conniewolfs9682]

So glad you are posting again!

[@destineydevereux4722]

One of my friends brought this to my attention,,,, This park, for many years was called Caroline , it was located in St Petersburg FL, one block off US 19 and I-75,,,, on Haines Rd,,you were extremely fortunate not to have encountered meth or crack heads, or heroin addicts because that was the main problem there,,,,, unfortunately those cats you see were abandoned by residents,,,, it will not become a park, it's slated to be luxury apartments,,,, the whole Haines Rd area is going through a major change due to the rapidly growing population,,,, if you have questions about this park, I'll be glad to address them,,, it's one of many parks we own/owned in Florida. Although I live in France now, I still like to use the internet to see how everything's going,,,,,, thank you for your video,, and please stay safe🇫🇷💋

[@Clblackburn1969]

Good seeing you back! Been a Fan of yours many years. Love you!

[@nicolarollinson4381]

I realised a few moments ago that I've been watching your videos but most are from four years ago. Glad to see you're still exploring.

[@cmiller4171]

I think my hubby and I have watched all your videos on your channel. We were so excited to see a new video added. Yay!!!!!!!!! Hope you are well. Take care and keep on exploring! :-)

[@amylinn4952]

[@heatherk.9937]

Hey girl! Wow trailers for real! Not double wide prefab homes. Actual tow behind campers. Rather odd. So glad you did not encounter any of those living in them. LOVE your tours because you are SO real. Thank you for the vicarious exploration you give us! 🙂

[@NeilRoy]

Very nice explore. I love the new camera, very nice quality images. Always a pleasure to see something new. Have a good one from Ontario, Canada. :)

So good to have you back, that's a good camera you got there my brother has the same one.

[@jimblue39]

Thank you Tiki, I enjoy your videos so much. People who buy/own trailer parks do not realize how much it cost to operate them. It looks like these owners found that out. One not very good thing about trailers versus a real house, the real house goes up in value and the trailers go down in value just like a used car. Thanks again Tiki.

[@TikiTrex]

Thanks Jim. You are so right about the appreciation difference between the two.

[@marrabalmer2917]

You have such a lovely voice! One of your older vidoes was in my suggestions and I'm glad I clicked.

Hi! I just found you, and I wanted to say I find you videos quite interesting. My husband and I will be re-locating from S.E. Pennsylvania (originally from N.W. New York state, Buffalo area) to Central Florida in about 2 years, so I am really enjoying your little 'preview' of the central/Tampa area! I'll keep watching for your videos so I can get a better idea of the general area we plan to move to! What I loved the most about your videos - NO SNOW! Take care and be safe!

[@ChipGuy]

Yay a new video. Awesome!

[@owen4248]

That is an old place old school buildings and the trailers are quite old. For being abandoned for only a year there pretty trashed. The cats have found it there home they are going to have to find another place once this is all gone. I'm thinking maybe a park if there saving all the tress. Glad to see you posting again been with you since the beginning. You were the first urban explorer I subscribed to.

Dear TikiTrex, We need more videos from you. I am now watching your collection for the second time. I wish you had had the new camera years ago. I do want to thank you for all that you have given us over the years. I hope you and your family were not touched by the China virus. God Bless!

Hi Don, I wish I had that new camera years ago as well. I'm safe from the virus so far and practicing all precautions to hopefully keep it that way. I hope all is well for you and your family, also. Thank you for your fidelity to my channel and for re-watching my vids! :D
