Specifically, West River, with its four public schools - Blake High School, Stewart Middle Magnet School, downtown is rediscovering its inherent value as a place to live. The ‘Central Business District’ Just Elementary and Dunbar Elementary - is unique in Tampa given that it is a favorably located model of the 1960’s had proven rigid and obsolete, resulting in disinvestment in many of the neighborhood whose developable land is almost entirely owned by four local governmental downtown neighborhoods and underutilization of key properties and assets.
