What Residents Are Saying
Based on Google reviews, here are the issues residents mention most often — and the ones that matter when choosing your coverage. Longer bars indicate more frequent discussion.
On-Site Security
Natural Hazards & Your Renters Coverage
The address sits in a FEMA-mapped flood zone. That's worth flagging up front because flood damage is a known exclusion in nearly every off-the-shelf renters policy. Earthquake risk here is low and severe-weather damage of the wind/hail variety is already covered. The section walks through the flood specifics and what a separate flood policy looks like for renters.
Flood damage
FEMA places this address inside a Special Flood Hazard Area, which is the agency's designation for parts of the country with at least a 1-in-4 chance of flooding over a 30-year mortgage. Standard renters insurance excludes flood damage outright — even small amounts of standing water that ruin a mattress or laptop. Closing the gap requires either an NFIP renters policy (starting around $99 a year) or a private flood policy from carriers like Neptune or Wright Flood.
FEMA Zone AE — High-risk flood area with base flood elevation
Flood insurance strongly recommended — standard renters policies exclude flood damage.
What to know about flood insurance as a renter:
- Your landlord's building policy does not cover your belongings
- NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) offers renters policies starting around $99/year
- Private carriers (Neptune, Wright Flood) may offer lower rates
- Most flood claims in this zone are for personal property, not structural damage
Most flood claims renters file in zones like this one are for personal property — laptops, mattresses, instruments — not structural damage. That's exactly what a renters-targeted flood policy is designed for.
Flood zone data from FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL). Zones can change — verify at FEMA Flood Map Service.
Earthquake shaking
USGS rates seismic activity here as low. A damaging earthquake is unlikely enough that most renters skip the earthquake endorsement entirely — your standard renters policy still covers the things you actually claim against (theft, fire, water damage from leaks, wind damage). The hazard data is below for completeness.
Low seismic hazard · ground motion 0.03g
Skipping the endorsement is a defensible choice at this hazard level. Theft, fire, lightning, and most water damage stay covered under your standard renters policy regardless.
Hazard data from USGS National Seismic Hazard Model. The ground-motion figure is the level USGS expects to be exceeded with about 2% probability over a 50-year horizon — the standard reference used in building codes.
Severe weather you'd actually claim for
NOAA's severe-weather record for Hillsborough County is on the calmer end of the national distribution — modest activity across most categories. Whatever does happen, your renters policy already covers it (wind, hail, lightning damage to your possessions). The five-year averages are below.
Source: NOAA Storm Events Database, annual averages from the past five years for Hillsborough County. Counts reflect reported events, not damage amounts.
Most renters here add one targeted endorsement to a standard policy. The cost is modest, the benefit is concentrated on the one thing the base policy doesn't reach.
