Gibsonton Apartment Complexes — Pros & Cons From Real Resident Reviews
1 communities reviewed · Updated Jul 2026
Gibsonton is a fast-growing unincorporated community on US 41 south of Tampa, historically known as a wintering ground for carnival and circus workers. Despite rapid single-family subdivision growth nearby, national listing sites labeled "Gibsonton" are dominated by properties actually located in neighboring Riverview and Apollo Beach — genuine Gibsonton-addressed rentals are overwhelmingly single-family houses rather than apartment complexes.
As of mid-2026, the one confirmed purpose-built rental community actually inside Gibsonton, Copper Creek North Townhomes, rents in the $2,175-$2,400 range; renters wanting more apartment-complex options typically look toward Riverview or Apollo Beach just across the CDP line.

Florida renter essentials
Renters insurance is not optional here. Most Florida leases require it, and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage — that needs a separate flood policy, even in an apartment. Before signing, look up the building's flood zone on FEMA's flood map service and ask which evacuation zone it sits in.
Ask about the real monthly cost. The most common complaint in Florida apartment reviews isn't noise — it's fee stacking: valet trash, common-area electric, mandatory bulk internet, pest control, admin and tech fees. Get the full itemized monthly figure in writing before you apply.
Tour with the AC running and ask about hurricanes. Humidity control is the difference between a fine unit and a moldy one; ask how old the AC is. And ask directly how the building handled the last major storm — communities that performed well say so happily, and reviewers call out the ones that didn't.
