Downtown Tampa is the nicest part of Tampa Florida. The best neighborhoods in Tampa Bay would be South Tampa, Davis Islands, Harbour Island and Hyde Park. Another Tampa Neighborhood worth mentioning is New Tampa but most young professionals will prefer one of the first ones I mentioned.
The Top Tampa Neighborhoods are also affluent neighborhoods. I did leave off South Howard Avenue or SOHO because it is so close to Hyde Park and is just a version of Hyde park Village but with more nightclubs.
What else could you want that is not located here or nearby? Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, coffee shops, Channel District, Water Street, scenic walking trails, The Florida Aquarium, historic Ybor City, the Tampa Riverwalk and an amazing nightlife with fantastic restaurants.
Davis Islands is immediately south of downtown with all of the city amenities. This is among the wealthiest neighborhoods and even comes with beach access, an airport and marina. It is a very family friendly neighborhood but has a median household income through the roof. But, it is within walking distance of Bayshore Boulevard, the Tampa Riverwalk and Downtown Tampa.
Harbour Island is a very secure option for those seeking desirable neighborhoods in Tampa Bay. Although there are plenty of condos most of the Island is behind at least one gate or guard desk. There are two bridges connecting Harbour Island to downtown as it is separated by Garrison Channel. The island itself is pretty much just a very nice residential district.
South Tampa is a large area between Hillsborough Bay/ Hillsborough River and the actual bay known as Tampa Bay. There are plenty of neighborhoods in Tampa to choose from and a lot of the finest are in South Tampa. So is MacDill AFB for that matter. Green spaces are everywhere you look and so are local parks. You can find a trendy neighborhood, a neighborhood for nature lovers and still be minutes from Tampa International Airport. In my opinion South Tampa certainly should be considered one of the nicest and most affluent neighborhoods in Tampa Bay FL.
