2401 Gordon St

Palmetto Beach sits along Tampa’s eastern waterfront, where Ybor Channel and the Palm River meet a landscape of working docks, industrial land and residential streets. Tampa’s warm, humid climate makes waterfront walks and outdoor time possible through much of the year, though summer brings heat and frequent rain. McKay Bay Nature Park, just south of the neighborhood, offers a shoreline setting and trails for walking and birdwatching; check local access before bringing a dog. The area’s maritime and industrial character sets it apart from Tampa’s busier commercial districts, while Ybor City’s historic streets, restaurants, cafés and nightlife are a short drive away. Nearby shopping and everyday dining are easier to reach along major roads than within the neighborhood itself. Driving is the most practical way to get around, with connections toward downtown Tampa and other parts of the city. Palmetto Beach rents have a median of $2,150 per month and a typical range of $1,300 to $4,350, based on 15 active listings.
