The Brady at Tampa Palms is an apartment community at 5100 Live Oaks Blvd, Tampa, FL 33647, in the Tampa Palms area of northeast Tampa. For renters comparing an apartment near Museum of Science & Industry with laundry facilities, this location keeps you in the same broader USF and Fowler Avenue corridor as MOSI, while offering in-home full-size and stackable washer options listed among the community’s resident amenities. MOSI is located on East Fowler Avenue in Tampa and is known for hands-on science exhibits, STEM learning, school visits, and family-friendly programming.
Being near MOSI matters most if your routine already points toward the University of South Florida area, East Fowler Avenue, or the medical and research destinations around north Tampa. Residents may care about the museum because of weekend visits, children’s science activities, camps, field trips, or simply wanting an educational attraction close enough that it does not become an all-day drive. It is also a useful landmark when explaining this part of Tampa to guests, because MOSI sits near USF and major northeast Tampa routes.
From The Brady, most residents get around by car using Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, East Fletcher Avenue, East Fowler Avenue, and I-75. Those routes connect Tampa Palms with USF, MOSI, nearby medical campuses, shopping, restaurants, and the wider Tampa Bay area. The community also lists easy access to major highways, which is important here because this part of Tampa is spread out, and everyday errands are typically planned around driving rather than walking.
The floor plans at The Brady give you more than one way to match your space to your routine. Current layouts include one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes ranging from 729 to 1,582 square feet, with select plans offering study spaces in addition to the main bedrooms. Availability, move-in dates, and pricing change, so the leasing office is the best source for the current options that include the laundry setup and layout you want.
Laundry is a practical detail, especially if you are balancing work, school, museum trips, or family schedules. The resident amenities list in-home full-size and stackable washers, and the community FAQ also notes washer and dryer connections, so it is worth asking the office exactly what is included in the specific apartment you tour. If you prefer not to plan your week around shared laundry rooms or off-site laundromats, this is one of the most important features to confirm before applying.
Inside the homes, The Brady lists white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, modern tile backsplash, breakfast bars, modern lighting, ceiling fans in living rooms and bedrooms, framed bathroom mirrors, deep soaking bathtubs, and wood-style flooring. Newly renovated homes are noted as coming soon, and private wraparound screened patios and balconies are available in select homes, so ask which finishes and outdoor spaces apply to the apartment you are considering.
The community amenities are built around staying active and spending time outdoors. Residents have access to four resort-style pools with a sun deck, a 24/7 fully equipped fitness center, a resident clubhouse, grilling stations, landscaped walking paths, bike trails, basketball, tennis, and sand volleyball courts, a playground, private lakefront views, and Hillsborough River access. The Brady is also pet friendly, with a dog park and pet relief areas noted in the community FAQs.
The honest trade-off is that this is not the best fit if you want to walk to MOSI, USF-area destinations, or downtown Tampa nightlife. Tampa Palms is more comfortable for residents who expect to drive, use rideshare, or plan around traffic on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Fowler Avenue, and I-75. If your priority is a quieter north Tampa home base with laundry options and access to green space, pools, and major roads, that trade-off may make sense.
If you would like to compare current floor plans and confirm which available homes include the laundry features you want, contact The Brady at Tampa Palms or schedule a tour with the leasing office.
