Located just northeast of Downtown Tampa, Ybor City is the only neighborhood on Florida’s west coast to be named a National Historic Landmark District. Ybor, pronounced “E-boar,” touts a rich history dating back to the 1800s, when Vincent Martinez-Ybor brought his booming cigar factory to town and the area enjoyed a widespread reputation of prosperity.
Ybor maintains its historic charm with a slew of well-preserved brick buildings along compact, walkable streets lined with palm trees. Ybor is home to a broad range of retail stores, diverse restaurants, vibrant nightlife options, growing corporations, small businesses, and an influx of new residential units. Getting around from Ybor is a breeze with convenience to local trolley service as well as I-4, I-275, and Tampa International Airport.
