Modern Growing Convenient Up-and-Coming College Town

Uptown Tampa is an up-and-coming innovation district located in the northwestern stretches of the city, near the University of South Florida’s main campus as well as notable amenities like the Museum of Science and Industry, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and Adventure Island. However, University Mall anchors the district, serving as a burgeoning live-work-play center with a slew of shops and restaurants in addition to modern offices and medical research facilities.
