1 People/Community - The Channel District is made up of kind and generous residents. Although the majority may work long hours, begin start-ups, or run our own small businesses, we still find the time to come together & support various charities & events. 2 Pet Friendly - The Washington St. Dog Park allows us to grab a seat, socialize with our neighbors while the dogs socialize with their pack. Channel District is filled with pet lovers which give us a sense of connection. If you love animals, you’ll feel right at home here! 3 Exciting Changes & Developments - We, the Channel District, are the BUZZ of the Tampa Bay area 4 Events - Art on 12th, Channel District Home Tour, Ice Cream Sunday’s, Flicks ‘N Food Trucks - Who doesn’t enjoy music, art, food & drinks, and pet events that bring residents and outsiders into our district? 5 Cruises - Easily walk down to Yacht Starship for a dinner cruise, or book a 3-4 day cruise with one of the major cruise lines that leave from Port Tampa Bay. 6 Amazing Views - Waking up and seeing beautiful “floating buildings” docked at the Port from our balcony. To the West, the City of Tampa Skyline is in plain sight with the SunTrust Building’s Ziggurat lit up in various colors telling a story or showing support. Take a stroll down the Riverwalk where it all begins in the Channel District and catch the sun glistening off the waters of the Garrison Channel. No matter where you look, the views here are impressive. 7 Bars/Restaurants - We have the best restaurants, taverns and bars. The Channel District has something for everyone. We have newcomers and originals and all are outstanding establishments within walking distance. 8 Health Conscious - The Channel District is home to one of the absolute best gyms in the nation Powerhouse Gym. And for those that opt for the full body burn, we have our very own Orange Theory Fitness Studio as well. The community is just full of health/fit-conscious residents that help motivate us through the never-ending fitness journey. There are many areas here to go for a jog or bicycle ride as well to stay active. 9 Traffic - In any direction you go, we are centrally located. Access to the Selmons Expressway, I-275, and I-4 is a breeze. The traffic flows smoothly in the District without the congestion felt, like in other areas of Tampa Bay. 10 Safe Neighborhood - We always feel safe walking the neighborhood at any hour of the day. There’s never that feeling of having to look over our shoulders.
