News Story on 3 Townhouses

Although not bungalow, these townhouses were acceptable due to their location. Multifamily residences along our business corridors is a good thing. More people to buy more things.

Construction On 3 Town Houses To Begin In Months
The Tampa Tribune Thu, 16 Feb 2006 4:19 AM PST
"Three town houses will replace a vacant two-story apartment building damaged in a fire about two years ago. "

"The parcel, east of Florida Avenue, is viewed as a buffer between the commercial-heavy avenue and a grid of tree-shaded residential streets."

"The three-bedroom, 2 1/2 -bathroom town houses will be $230,000 to $250,000. One-car garages will be built off an alley at the rear of the property; the dirt alley will be paved.

"It's the new urbanism philosophy," Umansky said. "If I don't have to put a driveway in a front yard, it looks so much better. That's what [alleys] were originally meant for, so let's use them."
