True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 10 closed sales in Hillcrest Acres 2Nd Add in Tampa, FL since 2015, the most recent in April 2025. Across Tampa as a whole, 4,890 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $442,500, 39 median days on market, with 1,287 homes for sale today. At that median and Hillsborough County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.73 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,960 ($6,340 with the full homestead exemption).
Price here is driven by condition and scope of work, not by a uniform product type. With a build range spanning 1900 to 2024 and a median build year of 1961, you are shopping a mix of older bones and newer infill on the same streets. The single figure worth anchoring to is a median living area of about 1,224 square feet — these are modest footprints, and what you pay will hinge on whether a given home has been reworked or left original.
We have no closings in the current window, so recent comps are thin. That cuts both ways: sellers can't lean on a fresh sale to justify a number, and buyers should underwrite off the property itself rather than assume a neighborhood trend. Homestead share sits near half the homes, which suggests a meaningful owner-occupant base alongside turnover stock — expect condition to vary property by property.

The Hillcrest Acres buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hillcrest Acres 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 Hillcrest Acres.
A vintage-mixed infill pocket
The defining feature here is age spread. A build range from 1900 through 2024 tells you this is an area that has been redeveloped in pieces over time — original older housing sitting next to newer construction. The median build year of 1961 places the center of gravity in mid-century stock, but the mean experience on any block is variety. That makes inspection quality, systems age, and permit history the real levers on value.
Footprints run small, with median living space near 1,224 square feet. That size, combined with a roughly even homestead share, points to a neighborhood where a good portion of homes are held by owner-occupants while the rest turns over. For a buyer, the practical takeaway is to evaluate the individual home hard — roof, systems, and any additions — because the community label won't do the pricing work for you.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hillcrest Acres. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
