Three or four years from now, bulldozers may knock down the Oakhurst Square apartments in West Tampa to make way for something newer, with more apartments, plus corner stores and places to get something to eat.
It’s an idea that has stirred speculation and suspicion in West Riverfront, a working-class neighborhood north of the University of Tampa. But for some of those who know Oakhurst Square best, the possibilities don’t sound so bad.
“I think it will be nice, because the apartments need to be brand-new,” resident Samuel Lopez said.
