The Trade
New construction townhomes at 1206 W. Lemon Street, listed and sold by Kevin.
Land close to downtown ran out before demand did. A single lot that once held one older house now holds two, three, sometimes four townhomes, which is the only way builders can deliver a brand new home this close in at a price a normal buyer can reach.
What you are really trading is yard for location. You give up the big backyard and you get new construction, a warranty, low maintenance, and a five to ten minute drive to work and dinner instead of thirty. For a lot of buyers, particularly first-time buyers and people downsizing out of a large South Tampa house, that is the right trade.
The Map
Townhome construction in Tampa is concentrated in a handful of pockets, and they are not interchangeable. Each one attracts a different buyer and prices differently.
Close-in infill: minutes from downtown, which is what drives the price.
The busiest townhome corridor in the city, and the one most people mean when they search. Walkable to Armature Works and the Riverwalk, and close enough to downtown to skip the commute entirely. New product keeps arriving here.
A little further out, a little more house for the money, and a strong neighbourhood identity. Buyers who want new construction without downtown pricing tend to land here.
The value end of new construction close to the core. Still emerging, which means more upside and more variation block to block than the Heights.
The luxury end. Fewer units, higher finishes, and prices that reflect the address. Some come with no HOA fee at all, which is rarer than buyers expect.
Waterfront-adjacent and master-planned, so the feel is different from an infill build on a single lot. Amenities carry more of the value here.
The Numbers
Ranges move with the market, so treat these as orientation rather than a price list. Kevin can give you today's number for a specific building.
Two buildings on the same street can price very differently depending on the builder, the finish level, and whether there is an HOA carrying real amenities. Square footage alone will mislead you here more than it does with single family homes.
Before You Sign
Buying new construction is not the same transaction as buying a resale, and the contract is usually the builder's, not the standard one.
Not Theory
Written up at the time, so you can see how these deals actually go.
1206 W. Lemon Street
A three-unit row Kevin listed and sold. The clearest example of what close-in new construction looks like today.

418 W. Frances Avenue
New construction with no HOA fees, walking distance to Armature Works and the Riverwalk.
See the story
Palmetto Beach
Seven townhome sales in one pocket. New construction in the city at the value end of close-in.
See the story
4324 W. Gray Street
Four custom townhomes by Momentum Homes, and what a custom builder does differently.
See the story
2204 N. Central Avenue
Attached new construction on a tree-lined street, a short walk from the Heights corridor.
See the story
3223 W. Paxton Avenue
Five-bed, chef's kitchen, covered lanai. The newer end of what South Tampa custom townhome-adjacent product looks like now.
See the story
Hyde Park Courtyard Townhome
A luxury-end townhome with a private courtyard and no HOA fees. The quieter half of the Hyde Park market, and the one many buyers do not know exists.
See the storyThe Builders
These are the names Kevin has sold work from and knows personally. Every one of them deals with Kevin's office directly, which matters because most Tampa townhome builders will not deal with a homeowner.
Most prolific infill
Custom homes with many floor plans tuned to small 50 by 100 infill lots, which is almost every Tampa Heights and South Tampa townhome site. Customize or upgrade across most of the plan. Kevin has written about Mobley projects more than any other builder on the site.
Design-forward partners
Two partners who put real detail into every unit. Their modern farmhouse look is what buyers show Kevin in the "I want this" photo. Momentum built the four custom townhomes at 4324 W Gray Street.
South Tampa custom
Starling and BCL together put up 3223 W Paxton Avenue in South Tampa, the newer end of what single-lot South Tampa custom product looks like. BCL is one of the most-named builders on this site. Pair them for premium one-off builds near Hyde Park Village and Beach Park.
Three-generation builder
Three-generation Tampa builder. Known for value, large bedrooms and the fact that most are en-suites, which matters more in a townhome plan where everyone is sharing a wall somewhere.
Custom with primary down
Three-partner custom builder with a handful of floor plans that put the primary bedroom on the first floor. That is a surprisingly short list in Tampa townhome product and the right answer for a lot of downsizing buyers.
Thirty-year luxury
Custom builder for 30+ years. Builds on larger lots and known for the details carried through every room. Not the right fit for a tight infill townhome site; the right fit for the upper end of South Tampa and Hyde Park.
Modern on your lot
Modern-style builder who will build on your lot. The right call if you already own the land and want contemporary rather than modern farmhouse.
Boutique custom
Smaller-volume custom builder Kevin has written about on several South Tampa projects, including sophisticated pool homes with the owner's retreat on the first floor. A good fit when you want the custom look without the biggest-builder price tag.
The Other Side
Every one of these townhomes replaced something. If you own an older Tampa home on a lot zoned for two or more units, builders may already want it, and that is a different sale entirely.
Let's Talk
New townhome inventory moves fast and some of it trades before it is listed anywhere. Kevin knows which builders are about to release, and what is already sitting.
