Welcome to Winward Lakes
Winward Lakes, is an active living community nestled in the heart of South Tampa, Florida.
For over 40 years, Winward Lakes was proudly maintained under the same ownership, creating a foundation of stability, care, and long-term vision. While our roots run deep, our community has evolved into something even more special: a modern, sophisticated, and active 55+ lifestyle designed for those who aren’t slowing down, they’re redefining what’s next.
Today’s residents aren’t “retiring” in the traditional sense—they’re stepping into a new journey. Sunshine and warm winters drive many to Tampa. Others come to be closer to children and grandchildren, embracing the moments they once didn’t have time for. Award-winning medical facilities and convenient access to top-tier services compound the ever-growing interest for Tampa. Retired military residents appreciate the proximity to MacDill Air Force Base, while others enjoy being just minutes from downtown Tampa’s vibrant dining, entertainment, and sports scene. And one of South Tampa’s best-kept secrets? You can reach it all—Bayshore Boulevard, local neighborhoods, waterfront views—without ever relying on the main roads. A Community Built on Connection! While everyone arrives here for different reasons, they all discover the same thing: A true sense of home.
