MLS Listings | Neighborhood Info
Seminole Heights is a tree-shaded gem located at the heart of Tampa. During the earlier times of the 1900s, the area was almost completely occupied with orange groves. The groves soon gave way to the bungalows, and by the year 1923, the area was annexed into Tampa City. Soon enough, it was known as the new “Streetcar Suburb”. This was basically due to the easy public transportation access to the downtown area via the electric streetcar system.

A Look Back: History of the Seminole Heights Neighborhood
Seminole Heights was somewhat “born” in the year 1911. Roy Young had 40 acres of land to develop the first suburb in Tampa, which is three miles north of the downtown area. A decade before that, the population in Tampa had reached 26,000. A trolley line connected the Sulphur Springs to the downtown area, making travel to the area possible. Moreover, the streetcar made it possible to live within the suburbs, yet work in another area.
Young has recognized this potential, and thus made Seminole Development Corporation encompass a rectangle bordered by the Hillborough Avenue, Central Avenue, Wilder Avenue, as well as the Florida Avenue. The houses built here were bungalows, oriented east-to-west.
Other developments in the area quickly followed. And by 1912, the Mutual Development Company and the Dekle Investment Company surveyed and platted land near Seminole Heights. This formed the Suwanee Heights subdivision.
And during the “Florida Bloom” years, from 1919 to 1929, more development came to the areas at the north and east of the original subdivisions. The development came to the merchants who saw an opportunity to provide goods and services to the residents.
