seminole heights real estate: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics
- 03/22/11 06:01 PM
The above title is from a quote attributed to Samuel Clemens, known to many as Mark Twain. I must admit I like much of Mr. Clemens good ole common sense, especially when it comes to statistics. We are bombarded daily with all sorts of numbers and we seem to take on blind faith these numbers without context. I meet agents everyday who can tell me they just heard this report or that report. The panic over some looming shadow inventory. The Henny Penny that the sky is still falling they are so busy following the crowd and listening to this guru or … (1 comments)

- 12/29/08 01:20 AM
Seminole Heights was featured and honored in the Winter edition of American Bungalow Magazine. Many of the homes featured are in the Seminole Heights Historic District but the story also includes discussion about the Hampton Terrace Historic District on the east side of Nebraska Avenue. In the years since the interstate split Seminole Heights in two that great asphalt wall has divided the area. There are many who only think of the west side of the interstate when looking to move to Seminole Heights. That was the case when I moved into what is now know as Hampton Terrace in the … (0 comments)

seminole heights real estate: Bungalow Bistro
- 01/09/08 01:04 PM
Yet another blurb about a Seminole Heights area business. This is one of our newest additions and is more than worthy to draw South Tampans north of Kennedy Blvd. The Bungalow Bistro on the corner of Florida and Frierson is a pleasant addition to Seminole Heights. It has been a long journey for Elizabeth Graham and her husband. I remember when the buildings that house their two businesses were moved during the Hillsborough Avenue road project more than a decade ago. They have done a spectacular job and both buildings are now a refreshing addition to the Florida Avenue commercial corridor.The restuarant is beautifully … (0 comments)

seminole heights real estate: Seminole Heights and "form based zoning"
- 01/09/08 06:44 AM
As an older urban neighborhood, Seminole Heights residents and business have struggled to acheive redevelopment of our commercial corridors. Neighbors turn out at city hall for any development that moves the area in the direction that so many want to see happen. That quest to reshape zoning codes to fit our urban reality might within reach as the city of Tampa tests out a new type of zoning model. Labelled, it is form-based code, that relies on neighborhood input for decision making. Starting in 2008, the city of Tampa will hold a series of meetings in Seminole Heights, asking, "What do you want … (0 comments)
