Lake Ellen Grove is a community of 86 homes in Tampa, Hillsborough County, built between 1960 and 1974 (median 1970.0), with a median living area of about 2,047 square feet. 86% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

A compact subdivision of mid-century Tampa homes where nearly all properties are owner-occupied, sitting on generous mid-century lot layouts rather than dense infill parcels. The near-universal homestead share signals a hold-and-live community rather than an investor churn.

With every home dating to the 1960 to 1972 stretch and a median build year of 1970, you are buying into original bones. The spread you'll see in asking prices tracks renovation status more than square footage: a house with updated systems and finishes will command real premium over a comparable-sized original, and the median masks that gap. Budget for the difference either way — you're paying for updates upfront or funding them yourself later.

The homestead share sits near 90%, which is high. That points to a neighborhood held by long-term owner-occupants rather than short-hold investors, so inventory tends to be limited and turnover slow relative to newer, more transactional Tampa subdivisions. When a well-maintained home does list, expect competition given how few come available and how quickly they've been clearing.

In a 77-home community with a handful of closings in the recent window and a median days on market of just over 5, the difference between a good outcome and a missed one is preparation and read. We price to condition — not to a blanket per-foot average that ignores what the last owner did or didn't update — and we get buyers positioned to move before a listing goes stale, because here it won't stay available long.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
