Tampa Road Subdivisions and the Builder Kitchens Inside Them

Oldsmar takes its name from Ransom E. Olds, the automaker who founded the town in 1916, but its housing is far younger than that story. Off Tampa Road and Forest Lakes Boulevard, neighborhoods of stucco-over-block homes with barrel-tile or shingle roofs went in quickly, and kitchens were finished with the standard package of the day: oak or thermofoil doors, laminate or early granite, and a corner lazy Susan. After decades of dishwasher steam and the occasional slow leak, sink bases sag and drawer bottoms fall out. Garages and laundry rooms in these homes also tend to have little more than a wire shelf, which is where built-in storage earns its keep. Being at the head of the bay, low parts of town near the water and Mobbly Bayou carry flood-zone considerations for bigger projects.

Olds bought his tract at the head of the bay in 1916 and planned a city, but the venture faded within a decade; the town was renamed Tampa Shores in 1927 and only took the Oldsmar name back in 1937. Most of today's streets came with much later growth, so a 1990s kitchen counts as old here. Tear-outs from that period follow a pattern: drywall left unfinished behind the boxes, a floor tiled only up to the cabinet line, and wall cabinets hung by a few screws through thin backs. If the new plan moves a run or adds an island, the tile gap has to be solved in the design, not on install day.

From R.E. Olds Park to the Hillsborough Line

Oldsmar's waterfront park on the bay, its sports complex and the Tampa Road corridor frame most residential streets, and Westchase is just over the county line. Inside city limits, building permits are issued through Pinellas County's building services, while zoning questions still start with the City of Oldsmar and HOA rules with your association; plumbing, electrical and wall changes are pulled by licensed trades. We also work in Safety Harbor and East Lake. Before you choose a cabinet line, read how custom, semi-custom and stock cabinets really differ.

Downtown, the bank building completed under Olds's supervision in 1918 still stands and now houses the Oldsmar Historical Society. R.E. Olds Park and Veterans Memorial Park are the city's two main parks and host most of its festivals. Because Oldsmar is a county partner city for building review, applications and inspection requests go through the county's online Access Portal, and county inspectors sign off on the work before walls are closed with cabinets.
