Howell Park is a nine-story midrise condominium complex built in 1974 that occupies a park-like site along Bayshore Boulevard in South Tampa. The gated, age-restricted community is organized around low-rise residential wings set amid oak-shaded lawns, winding garden paths, and manicured grounds that step down toward Hillsborough Bay. Residences are primarily two-bedroom layouts with generous living and dining areas, high and tray/coffered ceilings, built-ins, and features such as stone or solid-surface counters, solid wood cabinetry, walk-in closets and windowed sunrooms or enclosed balconies. Many units show period details—crown moldings, crown trim and decorative millwork—alongside more recent upgrades including impact-rated windows, modernized kitchens and HVAC replacements. Common areas include a staffed 24-hour guard gate, coded elevator access, on-site management and maintenance personnel, covered assigned parking plus visitor parking, and secure building entry. Outdoors the property offers a heated community pool, barbecue and fire-pit gathering spaces, landscaped courtyards, irrigation, storage and private entrances for selected units. The HOA provides a wide range of bundled services such as pest control, water/sewer, master property insurance, limited in-residence handyman time and building/pool upkeep. Located on Bayshore Boulevard, the community is a short walk to the promenade and within minutes of Hyde Park Village, downtown Tampa, restaurants, hospitals and shopping, delivering a maintenance-conscious, outdoor-friendly lifestyle in a well-managed, mature setting.
