Urbex: Abandoned TRAILER PARK Tampa Bay Area Florida

  • *UPDATE: As of July, 2019, this site has been totally raized and ready for redevelopment.*
    Side Note Around the 10:55 - 11:10 timeline, a portion of the video is blurred out as to protect past residents' names which were quite notably visible on the outside of some of the files.
    Exploring a derelict abandoned trailer park in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida. I explored abandoned trailers and the structure onsite. It has been abandoned since around early 2018 - roughly a year before this upload. According to the county tax appraiser website, the holding company that currently owns the land purchased the trailer park in 2014 with the sale and deed transfer being finalized in 2016. They operated the trailer park for a short period while winding it down. They backfilled the pool in June of 2017 and capped off the water to the lots in February 2018. There is still one unit left, but it appears they have an eviction notice. They are likely waiting for the last residents to clear out before going into full-scale demolition unless the residents have already left - I haven't seen any signs of life there, so it's possible the holding company has run out of funds to complete the demolition. The park and buildings were built in the late 1940s with the ownership changing hands several times up to this point.

    I'm so glad you're posting again! I used to live in Margate Florida and it had several large trailer parks at one time, only one is left that I know of. It's a shame because they were mostly retirees on fixed incomes and people making 12 to 1400 a month on Social Security can't afford anything else, unfortunately Developers see this land for potential Apartments which are much more profitable with rent going 1500 to 2000 for single bedroom! I'm not kidding. It's very unfortunate for older retirees without money because they have no place to go anymore. It's gotten to be that you have to be rich to retire in Florida now in a condominium or whatever. I believe this is happening all over Florida. Great video by the way! Keep it up.

      Agreed. It was the same for me, her's was the first I watched and one of my favourites. I think my favourite explore of hers was the abandoned home with everything in it. Ummm... she found a book at the start called "Fox's Book of Martyrs" (a VERY disturbing book by the way). It was on e of those homes that had everything, clothes and all still in it and a hanging noose in one room. Made me wonder.

    Typical 1960’s retired veterans paradise. WW2 and Korean War vets would flock down to these trailer parks for some affordable fun in the sun and live out their last days not worrying about shoveling snow.
    I had to laugh when you mentioned at the beginning that they may turn in this into a park LOL this is Florida, every square inch must get developed.
    Cool 1950’s and 1960’s mobile homes, once filled with happy retirees playing cards and swapping war stories.
    Be safe- I was cringing hoping you wouldn’t step on any rusty nails. That’s a huge danger, especially in tall grass. I’ve had nails go right through the bottom of my shoe. Thanks for a great explore!!!!

    One of my friends brought this to my attention,,,, This park, for many years was called Caroline , it was located in St Petersburg FL, one block off US 19 and I-75,,,, on Haines Rd,,you were extremely fortunate not to have encountered meth or crack heads, or heroin addicts because that was the main problem there,,,,, unfortunately those cats you see were abandoned by residents,,,, it will not become a park, it's slated to be luxury apartments,,,, the whole Haines Rd area is going through a major change due to the rapidly growing population,,,, if you have questions about this park, I'll be glad to address them,,, it's one of many parks we own/owned in Florida. Although I live in France now, I still like to use the internet to see how everything's going,,,,,, thank you for your video,, and please stay safe🇫🇷💋

    There is a huge trend going on across the states to shut down mobile home parks. Go buy a big house or rent apartments if you can't afford it live on the streets. The land is valuable for gas stations and new homes like there's not enough houses sitting empty all over the place.

    Thank you Tiki, I enjoy your videos so much. People who buy/own trailer parks do not realize how much it cost to operate them. It looks like these owners found that out. One not very good thing about trailers versus a real house, the real house goes up in value and the trailers go down in value just like a used car. Thanks again Tiki.

    these once were someone's home . I find it sad. perhaps they abandoned their pet cats too if they were forced out. I didn't enjoy this at all. I found it sad.

      The only comment that shows any empathy for these people who lived there, they were forced out with very little time or money to find another place,, all rentals so they had no choice🌴😥

    You must be very brave to go to these abandoned places alone. Guys who do this usually are scared to go alone and go in a group. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
