Gandy Gardens 3 is one of the numbered Gandy Gardens sub-plats in South Tampa, off Gandy Boulevard on the western Interbay peninsula, in ZIP 33611 (with parts of the wider area toward 33616). The numbered Gandy Gardens plats sit within the broader Gandy Gardens area that neighborhood guides and City-Data date to the mid 1950s, and it has continued to develop over the decades since.
It is predominantly single-family, with a South Tampa mix of original Florida-style bungalows and ranch homes on shady streets, newer single-family infill, and some updated or rebuilt homes. Consistent with older South Tampa plats, it generally has no mandatory HOA and no CDD, though individual deed restrictions should be confirmed per parcel with title.
The draw is location and relative value. The sub-plat sits minutes from MacDill, the Gandy bridge to St. Petersburg, the Westshore business district, and downtown Tampa, and it is one of the more attainable established single-family pockets in South Tampa. School assignment in this part of South Tampa generally runs to Robinson High rather than Plant, so confirm the zoned schools by address.
Coastal risk is the central diligence item. The Interbay peninsula sits between Old Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Bay, and the 2024 hurricanes drove record storm-surge concern and flooding across low-lying South Tampa, including the South of Gandy area. Pull the FEMA flood zone, the elevation, prior flood history, and a real insurance quote for the specific home, and weigh MacDill flight noise.
