Search New Suburb Beautiful homes for sale. New Suburb Beautiful Neighborhood New Suburb Beautiful History The town of Tampa was created by the establishment of Ft. Brooke in 1824. Even before the fort was built there was a fishing village in what is now the older section of the Hyde Park area. The village, which was called Spanish Town originally, was located on Tampa Bay near where Spanish Town Creek flowed into the bay at the end of Hyde Park Avenue. New Suburb Beautiful lives up to its name, being one of the most popular neighborhoods in South Tampa. The area referred to as New Suburb Beautiful is actually made up of three separate subdivisions which shared a common developer. The Subdivision was built by a hugely succesful Realtor named Allen J. Simms, who started work on the development of New Suburb Beautiful in 1923. Much of the land it was built on was prone to flooding and only became build-able due to the efforts of the Tampa Bay Co., who dredged and filled many parts of Tampa. The develpment of New Suburb Beautiful consisted of 211 lots in the begining with 175 additional lots added in 1924. The platted restrictions included: They be used only for single family dwellings worth at leas $6,000.00; The residence face the street and be set back to established lines; No bungalettes be built (but servants' quarters were generously allowed); and No nuisances would be maintained. New Suburb Beautiful Boundaries New Suburb Beautiful runs from Morrison on the North, to Howard and the crosstown on the East, to Prospect on the South, and Macdill on the Westside.
