Bayswater Close at Olde Hyde Park is a small residential enclave of townhome-style homes at 919 South Rome Avenue in Tampa, in the heart of the historic Hyde Park district near the corner of Watrous and South Rome Avenue (multiple Tampa real estate listing guides, 2026). It was built in 1992 and is a small community of about 18 homes, an intimate enclave rather than a large complex.
Listing guides describe the homes as townhome-style residences on multiple levels, with several citing roughly 1,700 to 1,850 square feet, two to three bedrooms, and an attached two-car garage, set around a brick entry and private grassed courtyards. The community is held under a condominium or similar association structure rather than fee-simple lots, so confirm the exact ownership form, the square footage, bedroom count, and what conveys with any specific home.
Because this is a small association, the money is made or lost on the association and the unit, not on the address alone. The drivers are the monthly dues, the reserve funding under Florida current condo safety rules where they apply, the insurance lines, and the specific home and its condition and updates, all of which have to be read from the current association documents and an insurance quote for the exact home.
The pitch is a walkable Hyde Park address: Bayshore Boulevard, Hyde Park Village, the South Howard Avenue dining and nightlife district, and downtown Tampa are all close, and Tampa International Airport is a manageable drive. The work is the diligence: read the budget and reserves, quote the insurance, and confirm the ownership form and pet and parking rules before you buy the location.
