Most of the historic “California bungalows” were built around 1910 by the Seminole Development Corporation around the trolley line connecting downtown Tampa and Sulpher Springs (small resort destination).

Bungalows are commonly frame construction, which creates a problem if the home has been neglected and not treated for termites and carpenter ants. Newer homes in this area are built in the style of the craftsman bungalow but with block construction.

There is a lot new development in this area, mostly rehab but a couple of brand new loft-style luxury multifamily buildings were built along Florida Ave, price ranging from $1,700 – 1,900 for 1BR apartment.
