Temple Park is an established neighborhood in Temple Terrace, a small incorporated city in northeastern Hillsborough County in the 33617 ZIP. Temple Terrace was originally planned in the 1920s as a Mediterranean-Revival golf-course community, one of the first of its kind in the United States, and is a designated Tree City USA known for its grand sand live oaks and Hillsborough River setting.
The homes in Temple Park are established single-family residences with a mix of classic and traditional layouts, on tree-lined streets typical of the city. Because the city is built out, nearly every purchase is a resale, and condition varies from house to house. Many homes carry no mandatory homeowners association, though the city has its own zoning and tree protections; confirm any deed restrictions per address.
The appeal is the combination of historic character, a central location next to USF, downtown Tampa, and I-75 and I-275, and access to the Hillsborough River and parks such as Riverhills and Lettuce Lake. As an established river-city neighborhood, confirm the flood zone and a current insurance quote for the specific home, especially on lots near the river.
For buyers who want an established home in a leafy, historic city next to USF, Temple Park is a distinctive option. The work is reading the home's condition and the flood picture honestly and weighing the home against real comparable sales rather than a countywide average.
