The feel of Riverside Heights
Riverside Heights sits just east of the Hillsborough River, north of downtown Tampa. Older homes, renovations and newer infill create a residential neighborhood with a varied architectural mix rather than a uniform subdivision feel.
How it compares
Compared with the broader Seminole Heights area, Riverside Heights is a more compact place to explore. Its position near downtown and the river is an advantage for buyers who want an in-town setting without making a downtown condominium their only option.
