With a median year built of 1959 and median living area around 1,086 square feet, the baseline product here is a compact single-story home from an earlier era of Tampa building. That original stock is the reason condition matters so much: the difference between an untouched house and a studs-out remodel is enormous, and it shows up directly in price. There is no such thing as an average deal here — you evaluate each roof, system, and floor plan on its own.

The homestead share sits under 40%, meaning a meaningful portion of these 75 homes are not owner-occupied primary residences. Combined with the presence of construction as recent as 2023, that points to a neighborhood where investment, rebuilding, and rental use are part of the picture. Buyers should read that as opportunity and as caution: there is room to add value through work, but you are buying into a mixed-use ownership pattern, not a uniform block.

In a 75-home neighborhood where price hinges on the individual house rather than a tidy comp set, you need someone who will walk the specific property and tell you what the condition actually justifies. We underwrite each home on its systems, its footprint, and its update history — not a neighborhood average — and we will tell you plainly when a listing is priced on hope rather than substance.

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