South Tampa real estate is highly sought after for a reason: the schools, proximity to downtown, a plethora of local eateries, and of course, the prime Tampa Bay access and incredible waterfront views. We could go on.

Take a peek at what’s on the market right now:

4010 W. Watrous Ave., Tampa | $3.22 million

Located right in the heart of South Tampa, this five bed, five and half bath home is entertaining ready with a snack bar, media room, massive great room, luxe pool, and expansive covered patio.

    You get a tree. And you get a tree. And you get a tree.

    The City of St. Petersburg just kicked off the third round of its Neighborhood Tree Matching Mini-Grant Program. Through the program, the city hopes to pluck trees into rights-of-way and street-facing front yards — so far, 70+ shade trees have been planted.

    Neighborhoods and business associations can apply for shade trees worth up to $10,000. The rules? Applicants must be affiliated with a registered association, plant the trees within 12 months, choose approved tree species, and plant the arbors in rights-of-ways or on street-facing private front yards, according to the application.

    Associations can apply through Monday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m. The timeline? The city hopes to get trees in the ground this October and November.
