The Preserve at South Tampa is a low-rise gated condominium community built in 1987 and arranged as two-story buildings containing small clusters of 2-bedroom units. Exterior character is relaxed suburban: fenced grounds, mature landscaping with royal palms, a central courtyard and shared outdoor seating and barbecue area. Units typically have modest open floorplans with living/dining combos, wood or laminate floors in main areas, carpeted bedrooms, tile in wet areas, and private balconies on some units. Kitchens commonly feature solid wood cabinetry, granite or stone counters and stainless steel appliances; many homes include in-unit washer/dryer hookups and attic or linen storage. Interior detailing across units includes crown molding, ceiling fans, walk-in closets and window treatments. The community provides assigned parking spaces directly adjacent to units, abundant guest parking, pedestrian gates and a private mailbox area. HOA dues cover basic utilities (water, sewer, trash in many units) and the association maintains exterior lighting, irrigation and roofing. Location is Ballast Point in South Tampa, minutes from Bayshore Boulevard, downtown Tampa, MacDill Air Force Base and nearby shopping centers, offering a quiet, commuter-friendly neighborhood lifestyle with easy access to local parks and dining.
