Historic cigar-era neighborhood west of the Hillsborough River, anchored by Howard Avenue and Macfarlane Park
West Tampa spreads across the west bank of the Hillsborough River, with Howard Avenue and Armenia Avenue as its main streets.
Today it blends longtime Latin families with new townhomes and apartments, small shops and Latin eateries along Howard, Armenia and Columbus Drive.
From downtown cross the Hillsborough River on Kennedy Boulevard or Cass and Fortune Street bridges; Howard Avenue and Armenia Avenue are the walkable corridors. I-275 runs through the neighborhood, and the West Riverwalk will add a riverside route as segments open.
