Woodfield Heights is an established single-residential neighborhood in east-central Tampa, in the 33617 area of Hillsborough County. Third-party subdivision guides describe it as built between 1965 and 1977, with much of the core platted around 1971 and 1972, made up of midsize single-family homes (Homes by Marco and Neighborhoods.com, 2026).
The setting is the appeal. The neighborhood sits near the Hillsborough River, with Lettuce Lake Park, Riverhills Park, and Rowlett Park nearby, between the University of South Florida and the Uptown district to the north and the city of Temple Terrace to the east. It is an established grid rather than a gated, amenity-dense master plan.
Because the stock is midcentury, the money here is made or lost on the specific home: roof age, systems, updates, and insurability, plus the flood zone for the exact parcel given the proximity to the river. The Woodfield Heights name covers a range of conditions, so the read has to be parcel by parcel.
The pitch is established value with strong access: homes assigned to Hillsborough County schools, minutes from USF and the Uptown growth corridor, with the Rithm at Uptown redevelopment and USF's planned Fletcher District reshaping the area nearby. The work is reading condition, fees, and flood honestly before you fall for a price.
