South Town Park Retail etc.
Called the development coordinator for South Town Park this morning. If you haven't seen the sign South Town Park is going in on undeveloped property at the southeast corner of Interbay and Tanker Way, just east of Manhattan. It will be bounded on the west by Tanker Way, north by Interbay, south by MacDill AFB, and to the east is a large trucking company, though it's unclear if the site goes all the way east to the truck parking area. Here's the scoop:
Phase 1 of this gated community will be 32 "twin townhomes" aka duplexes priced from $379,900. They are going through permitting now and hope to start in April. Phase 2 will be 12 single family homes with groundbreaking expected in 18-24 months. Phase 3 will be a small u-shaped grouping of retail on Tanker Way with places like "Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks." However, no specific tennants are lined up as building is realistically at least 2 years out.
So, if anyone with more experience in Florida can tell me why people think gated communities are all that, please tell me.
Also, residents of the trailer park on the west side of Tanker Way are all supposed to be out by May but I'm not seeing much action there.

Also checked out Southtown Park, and bought one same day. What a plan! Country living (ponds, part, nature trail etc) in the city & so near to all the activities on MacDill AFB, for those of us who can get into MacDill ( also gated community). Can't wait to move in. Gated communities keep the riff raff out. No problem for the good people you want in. Especially great for part-time residents & lowers insurance rates. Low maitenance will mean low mainterance fees. Everything about it is a Win Win situation. Check it out yourself. Anonymous Port Tampa, didn't do do much checking. Check it out. Hope a Chinese buffet restaurant comes w/ Phase 3. Dynasty Chinese resturant on Dale Mabry, are you listening? You deserve a spot here. This community is hungry, and for many years, you have been consistantly excellent.
Good luck developers. Your plan is so "right on"
Jimmy-glad you've found a location you like. I still don't get the gated allure but it's always good to have choices.
