Pine View Middle School

It's a solid pick for families who want suburban space with Tampa access — Downtown Tampa is about 40 minutes away and the airport roughly 39. The area is built around recognized schools including Charles S. Rushe Middle School, and the mix of gated communities and pool homes gives buyers real range.

It sits in a middle band for the Tampa metro, with a median list price of $410,400 and homes selling at a median of $412,735 over the past year. Prices span widely, from about $129,999 up to $2,000,000, so there's room for a range of budgets. At an average of $212 per square foot, a typical 2,115-sqft home lands right around that median.

The median list price is $410,400 and the median sold price over the last 12 months was $412,735, so listings and closings track closely. Entry-level options start near $129,999, while the top of the market reaches $2,000,000, with just 3 active listings above $1M. You can see the full spread among Land O Lakes homes for sale.

It's active and fairly balanced — 305 homes are listed and 1,219 sold in the past year. Sellers are averaging 99% of asking price and the median home goes pending in about 37 days, so well-priced listings don't linger, but buyers still have negotiating room compared to a frenzy.

The median HOA runs about $107 per month, which is common in this area's amenity communities — 57 active listings are gated. Property taxes come in around $5,772 per year at the median, and if you're weighing renting, the median rent is about $2,400 per month.
