How New Tampa got startedFor many years Bruce B. Downs Boulevard has been known as a "road to nowhere" until Denver developer Ken Good came to town in 1980s with a vision of a neighborhood like no other. In 1985 he convinced the local government to annex the land marking the largest annexation in Tampa's history. Tampa Palms was then developed, and its popularity spurred the development of other master-planned communities: Hunter's Green, Pebble Creek, Arbor Greene, Cross Creek and later Richmond Place, West Meadows, Cory Lake Isles, Grand Hampton and others. In 1993 business leaders formed the Northeast Area Council and named the area New Tampa giving it identity while tying it to Tampa proper. Today the organization is known as New Tampa Community Council. New Tampa nowNew Tampa's short history makes it one of the youngest communities in Tampa Bay area. Large trees line the streets with wild birds walking on the grass, and you will not see any billboards or trailer parks driving through the streets. Instead you will see active residents jogging or biking on sidewalks, and numerous shopping centers and restaurants including Stonewood, Red Lobster, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Panera Bread, and many others. New stores and restaurants are constantly being built to meet the demand of fast growth: BJ's Wholesale Club is one of the recent additions. Home prices for single family homes are typically between $200K to $400K. |
