Welcome to the Evelyn City Neighborhood

Evelyn City is a subdivision of a large Tampa neighborhood known as Old Seminole Heights and was initially developed in the early 1900s. For the purposes of this blog, the boundaries will be: the Hillsborough River to the north, 275 to the West, 22nd Street to the East and Sligh Ave to the South.
There are many issues that need to be addressed and resolved in the area, however I feel that this is a great neighborhood to live in. We have a wonderful diversity of homes, people, parks, and businesses.

Seminole Heights' bungalows, porches and potlucks grab national attention

By SHERRI ACKERMAN Published: June 23, 2009 The Tampa Tribune

TAMPA - Oh, those cute little bungalows and picturesque oak-lined streets, a soon-to-be thriving community garden and that amazing Cathedral-like high school.

Add what seems like an endless supply of affordable pre-World War II fixer-uppers with generous front porches and amiable residents, and you've got all the makings of one of the best neighborhoods around.

At least that's what editors of This Old House magazine thought when they chose Seminole Heights as one of 51 Best Old House Neighborhoods - one in every state and Canada.

As Florida's representative, the 98-year-old Tampa 'hood north of downtown will be featured in the magazine's July/August issue on sale Monday.
