It's a solid, no-frills part of Tampa built around everyday residential living rather than resort-style amenities. The steady pace of sales — 286 homes closed in the past year — reflects consistent buyer interest, and the feeder schools give families options within the zone. It suits buyers who value affordability and central location over waterfront or gated extras, of which there are only a handful here.

Compared with much of Tampa, no. The median list price is $325,000 and the average is about $252 per square foot, with entry-level listings starting near $99,000. There's a $1.62M ceiling in the current mix, but only one active listing is above $1M, so the market is heavily weighted toward attainable homes.

Active listings run from $99,000 to $1,620,000 with a $325,000 median, while the median sold price over the past year was $295,000. That gap between list and sold prices, plus the 98% of asking sellers typically receive, tells you there's room to negotiate but not a lot of slack. Expect the typical home to be around 1,268 square feet.

Balanced and moving. Homes take a median of 30 days to sell, sellers get 98% of asking, and 286 sales closed over the past 12 months against 83 current active listings. That's a healthy turnover rate that favors prepared buyers without pushing prices into bidding-war territory.

The median HOA runs about $257 a month, though many homes in this older, single-family area carry no HOA at all — it depends on the specific community. Median property tax is roughly $2,838 a year, which is modest for the Tampa market. Always confirm the exact figures on any individual listing before you write an offer.
