St James Park sits within the University Park area of Manatee County, a collection of quiet, tree-lined pockets like Hampton Green, Whitebridge Court, and Eaton Place. It's the kind of place where homes have settled into their landscaping, the streets feel calm, and families lean on schools like Robert Willis Elementary. You get suburban space with genuine convenience — Downtown Tampa is about 57 minutes up the road and Tampa International around 67.
For buyers, this is a thin, high-end market that rewards patience. There's just one active listing right now, priced at $1,099,000, while the three homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $1,435,000 — and sellers collected about 97% of asking. With a median of 224 days on market, well-priced homes trade but they don't move fast, so bring a clear budget and a willingness to wait for the right fit on the live map.

St James Park FAQs
Is St James Park a good place to live?+
It's a good fit if you want an established, low-key University Park neighborhood with room to spread out and strong school assignments.
