Moving to North Bon Air, Tampa: Neighborhood Guide

North Bon Air is a small residential neighborhood in west-central Tampa, tucked into the block of streets between Dale Mabry Highway, Kennedy Boulevard and I-275. It sits right next to the Westshore business district, which means you can live on a street of single-family homes and still be minutes from two big shopping malls, thousands of office jobs, Raymond James Stadium and Tampa International Airport.

It suits people who work in Westshore or downtown and want a short commute, frequent flyers who like being close to the airport, Bucs fans, and buyers who want a house in the city without paying the prices of the South Tampa neighborhoods farther south. Because it is so small, this guide uses ZIP code and citywide data where the neighborhood has none, and says so each time.

Both ZIP codes are far larger than the neighborhood.

Sources: Census Reporter (ACS 2024 5-year) for ZIP codes and Florida median age; U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts for Tampa and Florida (2025 estimates and 2020–2024 ACS). Tampa’s median age is the ACS 2024 1-year estimate. The 2010 neighborhood figures come from Wikipedia’s summary of Census data.

The two ZIP codes are quite different: incomes and home values in 33609 run well above those in 33607. North Bon Air is served by both, so look at the specific street, not just the ZIP, when you compare homes.

Best Neighborhoods In and Around North Bon Air

North Bon Air

Zillow’s listings in North Bon Air in September 2026 were mostly houses, plus a vacant lot. The neighborhood suits buyers who want a house and yard close to work in Westshore or downtown, and people who travel often and like being near the airport. Homes near Dale Mabry and I-275 will hear more traffic, so compare them with homes on the interior streets.

Westshore

The Westshore business district next door is mostly commercial, but it has some residential space, including apartments and condos. Renters who want to walk to work or shopping, and people who want a lock-and-leave home near the airport, often start here. Expect higher rents than the city average and building rules for move-ins.

South Tampa, South of Kennedy

Cross Kennedy Boulevard and you are in South Tampa, with neighborhoods like Palma Ceia, Hyde Park and Parkland Estates. Prices climb quickly, but so does access to Bayshore Boulevard and Henry B. Plant High School. If you are comparing, see our pages for Palma Ceia and Parkland Estates.

Across the river, the University of Tampa campus and Hyde Park are close by, so you can make a loop of it and stop for lunch.

Moving to North Bon Air: Tips From Our Crew

Check the Bucs schedule. On home game days, Dale Mabry Highway and the streets around Raymond James Stadium fill with traffic. Pick a different day for your move, or at least a morning well before kickoff.
Plan around Kennedy, Dale Mabry and I-275 at rush hour. All three boundaries of the neighborhood are among Tampa’s busiest roads. Midday loads and weekend mornings usually go smoother.
Reserve the elevator in Westshore buildings. Apartment and condo buildings typically require a reserved freight elevator, set move-in hours and a certificate of insurance. Send us the requirements at least a week ahead; the COI is free.
Tell us about construction on your street. If a neighbor is building or renovating, dumpsters and work trucks can take up curb space. Let us know so we can plan where our truck will park.
Know your evacuation zone. Hillsborough County changed many zones for 2026. Between June and November, keep papers and medications with you, not on the truck, and have a backup date in mind.
Beat the heat. July and August highs average 91°F with afternoon storms. Our crews like early starts, and so will your furniture.
