DE LEON PARK
Homes for Sale in TAMPA, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price in De Leon Park is driven by condition and age, not square footage math. With a median build year of 1928 and stock reaching back to 1890, the median of $382,500 reflects a wide spread between renovated older homes and those still waiting for work. The median price per square foot near $307 on a median of roughly 1,499 living square feet tells you this is a market where a compact, well-restored home can command a real premium.
The posture right now is fast. A median of 5 days on market across the recent closings window means well-priced, move-in-ready homes clear quickly and buyers have little time to deliberate. Sellers in good condition hold the leverage; buyers should come pre-approved and decisive, and should budget for the difference between a turnkey home and one that needs age-appropriate systems work.
The 60-Second Overview
DE LEON PARK market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $382K ($307 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 5 days on market for closed sales.
DE LEON PARK is a community of 378 homes in TAMPA, Hillsborough County, built between 1890 and 2022 (median 1928.0), with a median living area of about 1,499 square feet. 65% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
De Leon Park is an older, close-in Tampa pocket where most of the 378 homes predate mid-century, and where the gap between a restored bungalow and a project house does more to set price than size alone.
Who DE LEON PARK is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a compact, character-rich home around the high-$300s who value location over square footage
- Owner-occupants planning to hold and comfortable with older-home maintenance
- Renovation-minded buyers who can price a project house and manage the work
Probably not for
- Buyers who need large living space for their budget
- Anyone wanting a low-maintenance, new-construction turnkey home
- Buyers who need weeks to deliberate in a 5-day-median market
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($382K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 3 sales each (3 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2013 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The DE LEON PARK buying strategy.
If we were buying in DE LEON PARK today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in DE LEON PARK.
An old-stock market that moves fast
The defining fact here is age. A median build year of 1928 and a range that opens in 1890 mean you are largely shopping historic-era construction, with a smaller share of newer infill built as recently as 2022. That mix rewards buyers who understand older homes: foundations, plumbing, electrical, and roof age matter more than glossy finishes, and inspection findings should shape your offer.
Roughly 65% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to an owner-occupied core rather than a heavy rental footprint. Combine that with a 5-day median time to sale and you get a market where inventory is genuinely scarce when it is desirable. The median near $383K sits on modest living space, so value comes from location and condition, not floor area.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in DE LEON PARK. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
