Apartments for Rent in Wellswood, Tampa, FL

Bordered by the Hillsborough River on its east side, Wellswood is a popular neighborhood located about five miles north of Downtown Tampa. Ranch-style homes sit along shady, tree-lined streets with front yards dotted with palm trees and tropical foliage. The name “Wellswood” has nothing to do with wells – but quite a lot to do with woods. In 1949, James Wishart and his wife, Edna Wells Wishart, built the first house in the area. It was originally called Wells Park, but because of all of the pine and oak trees in the neighborhood, the name as changed to Wellswood.

The Wellswood Civic Association hosts a variety of events for residents, including a Holiday Craft Fair and Breakfast with Santa, Wellswood Eats, and Wellswood Paint Night Out. Most events are held at the Wellswood Civic Center, which is located off Wishart Boulevard in the heart of Wellswood. For more entertainment, head north to visit Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and Adventure Island.

While this is a primarily residential neighborhood, you’ll find plenty of shops and restaurants along Hillsborough Avenue, the neighborhood’s northern border, and along Doctor MLK Jr. Boulevard on the south end. Neighborhood favorites include Mambos Café, Monserrate Restaurant Bar and Grill, and La Cabana. Sports fans – especially Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans – will love living in Wellswood – the Raymond James Stadium is less than three miles from the neighborhood on the southwest side.
