WHY RENT AT WESTSHORE APARTMENTS?
Because where you live matters — and location, value, convenience, and service all come together here. 

If you’ve been searching for an apartment in Tampa, you already know that finding the right combination of location + price + convenience + quality of life can be challenging.

That’s exactly why we invite you to take a closer look at WestShore Apartments.

We’re not asking you to simply rent an apartment.

We’re inviting you to live in one of Tampa’s most convenient areas — while keeping your home within reach of your budget.

 

LIVE IN THE HEART OF WESTSHORE

Westshore is one of Tampa’s major business and commercial districts, with thousands of businesses and a large concentration of employment, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and transportation options.

And the best part?

You don’t have to live downtown or pay downtown-style prices to be close to so much.

From our community, you’re conveniently located near:

โœˆ๏ธ Tampa International Airport
๐Ÿ›๏ธ International Plaza & Bay Street
๐Ÿ›๏ธ WestShore Plaza
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Hundreds of restaurants and dining options
๐Ÿข Major Westshore employers
๐Ÿ–๏ธ Parks and waterfront destinations
๐Ÿš— I-275 and major Tampa roadways
๐ŸŽ“ Colleges and universities
๐Ÿฅ Medical facilities
๐ŸŽญ Downtown Tampa, Riverwalk, sports, entertainment & nightlife

Westshore is known for being exceptionally convenient for getting around Tampa, and the district itself is one of the region's largest employment centers.

 

LOCATION WITHOUT THE HUGE PRICE TAG

Let’s talk about something that matters:

VALUE.

Living in a highly desirable Tampa location doesn't automatically mean you should have to spend luxury-apartment prices.

Current listings at WestShore Apartments show select homes starting around:

  • Studios from approximately $1,192+
  • 1 Bedrooms from approximately $1,405+
  • 2 Bedrooms from approximately $1,582+

Pricing and availability change, but these current advertised rates can be considerably below the broader Westshore neighborhood averages.

That means you can potentially enjoy the convenience of Westshore without paying the premium associated with some of the newer high-rise and luxury communities nearby.

Why pay more simply for a zip code?

Come see what your money can get you at WestShore.

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS CLOSE

Imagine finishing work and being able to grab dinner, shop for groceries, meet friends, run errands, or catch a movie without having to cross the entire city.

International Plaza & Bay Street is right in the Westshore area, with hundreds of retailers, restaurants, and entertainment options.

WestShore Plaza adds even more shopping, dining, and entertainment.

And the surrounding Dale Mabry and Westshore corridors give you access to grocery stores, home stores, fitness centers, restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences.

Whether you're a busy professional, a student, a couple, a small family, or someone who simply wants to be close to everything — location makes everyday life easier.

๐ŸŽ“ CLOSE TO SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES

For residents with children, education and commute times matter.

Schools listed near our community include:

๐Ÿ“š Grady Elementary School
๐Ÿ“š Coleman Middle School
๐Ÿ“š Plant High School

Current property listings place these schools approximately 1.4–2.2 miles from the community, although school assignments should always be verified directly with Hillsborough County Public Schools before making a housing decision.

For college students and professionals, you’re also within convenient reach of institutions throughout Tampa, including:

๐ŸŽ“ The University of Tampa
๐ŸŽ“ Everglades University – Tampa Campus
๐ŸŽ“ Keiser University
๐ŸŽ“ South University

That makes Westshore a practical location for people who want to balance school, work, and everyday life.

 

YOUR HOME SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN FOUR WALLS

At WestShore Apartments, residents have access to community amenities designed for everyday living:

๐ŸŠ‍โ™€๏ธ Sparkling swimming pool
๐Ÿ”ฅ Conversational fire pit & lounge area
๐Ÿ” Grill area
๐Ÿšฒ Bike storage
๐Ÿงบ Laundry facilities
๐Ÿš— Parking
๐Ÿพ Pet-friendly living
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Maintenance support
๐Ÿข On-site management

And because we're an onsite management team, you aren't dealing with some giant corporate office where you feel like you're just another apartment number.

You can come into the leasing office.
You can talk to our team.
You can reach us directly.

That personal connection matters.

 

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE MATTER

We know that one of the biggest concerns when renting is:

“What happens when something goes wrong?”

A beautiful apartment isn't very useful if you can't get help when you need it.

Our community has onsite management and maintenance support, giving residents a direct point of contact when maintenance needs arise.

We work every day to keep our community functioning, address resident concerns, maintain common areas, and make sure residents have a place they're comfortable calling home.

Because renting isn't just about the apartment.

It's about the experience after you move in.

 

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

One of the biggest advantages of WestShore is simply how much time you can save.

You are positioned near:

๐Ÿ“ Tampa International Airport
๐Ÿ“ I-275
๐Ÿ“ Kennedy Boulevard
๐Ÿ“ Westshore Boulevard
๐Ÿ“ Dale Mabry Highway
๐Ÿ“ International Plaza
๐Ÿ“ WestShore Plaza
๐Ÿ“ Downtown Tampa
๐Ÿ“ Hyde Park
๐Ÿ“ Bayshore Boulevard
๐Ÿ“ Tampa Riverwalk
๐Ÿ“ Major employment centers

Westshore's central location makes it particularly convenient for people who commute around Tampa rather than staying in just one neighborhood.

WANT TO ENJOY TAMPA AFTER WORK?

You can.

Spend the afternoon at the pool.

Grab dinner nearby.

Head to the Riverwalk.

Go shopping.

Catch a movie.

Meet friends in Hyde Park.

Visit a Tampa Bay Lightning, Buccaneers, or Rays game.

Take a weekend trip from Tampa International Airport.

Head toward the beaches.

Enjoy Bayshore Boulevard.

Or simply come home, relax by the pool, and enjoy your own space.

You don't have to choose between convenience and having things to do.

Westshore puts you close to both.
