The Exchange at Westshore Townhomes for Sale

The Exchange at Westshore is a completed townhome community near Gandy Boulevard and Old Tampa Bay in South Tampa. Icon Residential developed the collection of 33 contemporary residences during the area’s waterfront redevelopment. As a result, the community offers newer construction within an established part of Tampa rather than the scale of a large master-planned subdivision.

The neighborhood also has a meaningful connection to Buy In The Bay Realty Group. Felicity Rollins worked with sales and development associated with The Exchange, which provides helpful context about the original plans and how the surrounding area has changed. However, buyers should still rely on current property disclosures, recorded documents and inspections for the specific residence they are considering.

The original community offered three floor plans ranging from approximately 1,784 to 1,988 square feet. Depending on the plan, residences were designed with two or three bedrooms, approximately two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms, balconies and two-car garages. Therefore, buyers can compare more than total square footage; the placement of bedrooms, stairs, living areas and outdoor space can materially change how each plan functions.

Square-footage figures should always be verified against the current MLS listing, appraisal, survey or other reliable property records. In addition, renovations and owner selections may create differences between homes that began with the same floor plan. Buyers should compare usable space, storage, garage dimensions and furniture placement rather than relying on the advertised number alone.

Exchange at Westshore townhomes were designed with contemporary elevations, masonry concrete-block construction and hurricane-rated windows and doors. Original finish packages included European-style cabinetry, granite surfaces, large-format tile, engineered flooring, stainless-steel appliances and tall ceilings on the main living level. Still, finishes may have changed through owner upgrades, replacements and normal wear since construction.

The two-car garages are a practical feature in a part of Tampa where parking and storage can influence daily life. Nevertheless, buyers should measure the garage, confirm driveway and guest-parking rules, and inspect doors, windows, balconies, roofs and drainage. A professional inspection can help separate original construction features from later modifications and deferred maintenance.

The Exchange at Westshore has an owners’ association, but association fees and included services can change. For that reason, this page does not publish a fixed monthly payment. Buyers should obtain the current budget, fee schedule, governing documents, insurance information, reserve details and recent meeting records directly from reliable transaction sources.

In addition, review the division of maintenance responsibilities between the owner and association. Roofs, exterior finishes, landscaping, common areas, roads, insurance and structural components may not all be handled the same way. Buyers should also confirm rental policies, pet rules, parking restrictions, approval requirements and any pending or approved assessments. The current documents—not an old marketing brochure—should guide the ownership budget.

The community sits beside the larger Westshore Marina District, where residents can reach waterfront paths, neighborhood businesses and dining without traveling to downtown. Nearby Marina Pointe and Inlet Park provide useful comparisons for buyers considering different housing formats within the same waterfront area.

Although the location is convenient, a townhome in The Exchange offers a different ownership experience from a full-service condominium tower. Buyers may prefer the private garage, multilevel layout and smaller-community setting. Conversely, they should consider stairs, exterior maintenance responsibilities and the distance from shared amenities. Visiting during weekdays, evenings and weekends helps reveal traffic, lighting, activity and noise patterns.

The Exchange at Westshore is close to Gandy Boulevard, Dale Mabry Highway and the Gandy Bridge. Consequently, residents can travel toward MacDill Air Force Base, the Westshore business area, central Tampa and St. Petersburg without beginning in the downtown core. The bridge connection is particularly useful for people who regularly cross Tampa Bay.

Drive times can vary with rush-hour traffic, bridge conditions, events and construction. Therefore, buyers should test the routes that matter to their own schedules, including work, the airport, groceries, medical appointments and recreation. A map can show distance, but repeated drives provide a better picture of daily convenience.

Because the community is near Old Tampa Bay, buyers should investigate flood exposure and insurance early in the process. The mapped flood zone is only one part of the analysis. Elevation, drainage, garage level, building features, policy deductibles and association coverage can also affect risk and cost. Therefore, obtain quotes for the exact address instead of relying on a neighboring owner’s premium.

The FEMA Flood Map Service Center is a useful starting point for current mapping. In addition, review wind coverage, flood coverage, the association’s master policy and the owner’s individual policy responsibilities. Salt air and storm exposure can also influence exterior finishes, metal components, windows and mechanical systems over time.

Begin with the specific residence: floor plan, square footage, bedroom configuration, stairs, balcony orientation, garage size and interior condition. Because Exchange at Westshore townhomes may have different owner upgrades, buyers should inspect the exact property rather than assume all residences remain identical. Next, compare the association documents, reserves, insurance, maintenance history, rental rules and current fees. Also check whether any alterations received required permits and association approval.

Because listings may be limited in a 33-residence community, buyers may need to compare recent sales as well as competing townhomes nearby. However, an older sale may reflect different finishes, market conditions or repair needs. A property-level analysis should account for upgrades, location within the community and total ownership costs rather than relying on a simple price-per-square-foot calculation.

Westshore Marina District adds dining, services and waterfront activity close to The Exchange. Current business tenants can change, so buyers should confirm what is open rather than relying on an old development announcement. Nearby options include Salt Shack on the Bay and Hula Bay Club, while the district itself offers additional places to eat and gather.

For a larger public outdoor space, Cypress Point Park provides beach access, trails and recreation north of the community. Meanwhile, the surrounding waterfront paths may appeal to residents who want casual outdoor access near home. Buyers should visit these places personally to judge distance, traffic and practical convenience.

Buyers comparing townhomes and waterfront-area housing can explore the complete Westshore Marina District guide. Within the district, Inlet Park provides another townhome and new-construction comparison, while Marina Pointe offers condominium living and additional shared amenities.

For established residential neighborhoods nearby, compare Stoney Point and Bel Mar Shores. A broader search through the South Tampa showcase can help buyers evaluate additional homes, townhomes and condominiums. Each option involves a different balance of maintenance, space, water access and monthly ownership costs.

Limited turnover can make current listings at The Exchange at Westshore appear only occasionally. As a result, Exchange at Westshore townhomes can require patience and early preparation. Buyers can use the homes-for-sale feed above to monitor active inventory, but they should also prepare financing, insurance questions and document-review plans before a suitable residence becomes available. When no properties are listed, nearby searches can provide useful market context.

Sellers benefit from comparing their floor plan, condition, renovations and location within the community against both Exchange sales and competing South Tampa townhomes. Moreover, clear documentation about improvements, association information and maintenance can help buyers evaluate the property efficiently. Felicity’s firsthand familiarity with the community’s original sales and development adds useful context for both pricing and presentation.
