Where the sun shines bright everyday. Let Own in Tampa Bay find that dream Tampa home for you!

Located on west coast of Florida, Tampa Bay is a vibrant waterfront area that offers a diverse blend of urban excitement set in a natural surrounding. Tampa features miles of glistening waterways and sugar sand shorelines. Its central location provides easy access to the nearby Gulf beaches and surrounding areas. Tampa's waterfront consists of Hillsborough Bay and Tampa Bay, as well as the beautiful Hillsborough and Alafia rivers and several area lakes.

Florida real estate appreciated at a rate of 30.3% in 2005, vs. 30.7% in 2004 and in Hillsborough County homes changed in value at a rate of 28.1% in 2005 vs. 25.2% in 2004. With this steady growth and sustained economic success, it's no surprise new homes in Tampa Bay are one of the hottest emergent markets in the United States. Tampa condominium and new home construction has kept pace with the city's increasing population over the past few years, offering a wide mix of affordable housing options and luxury Tampa Real Estate to suit everyone’s needs. Downtown Tampa, close to Harbor Island, has seen an insurgence of construction activity, which has led to a number of economically designed multi-tower condominium designs. Luxury projects include Skypoint and O2 Condos and Trump Tower Tampa all located in Tampa's central business district, which is set to become the Gulf Coast's largest residential tower.
