Jon's Current Read

"Temple Crest is an established residential neighborhood in northeast Tampa, bounded by 30th Street to the west, Temple Terrace to the east, Busch Boulevard to the north, and the Hillsborough River to the south. It began as a 1924 subdivision and was annexed into Tampa in 1961, so housing skews to mid-century ranch and Craftsman homes on larger, oak-shaded lots rather than a uniform modern tract. The read is an older, individual-home river neighborhood near Rowlett Park, Rogers Park Golf Course, and Temple Terrace, with reach to I-275, USF, and downtown. Because homes here are individual and older, value is house-by-house: confirm the build year, condition, roof, systems, the lot, and any flood exposure for parcels near the river, then comp the specific home rather than an average."

The 60-Second Overview

Temple Crest is an established residential neighborhood in northeast Tampa, Hillsborough County, reported to run from 30th Street on the west to Temple Terrace on the east, Busch Boulevard on the north, and the Hillsborough River on the south (community profiles and City of Tampa).

It traces to a 1924 subdivision and was annexed into Tampa in 1961, so homes skew to mid-century ranch and Craftsman styles on larger, oak-shaded lots, built and updated across a long span. Treat any build year or figure as reported and confirm with the listing and the county appraiser.

The setting is river-adjacent and quiet, near Rowlett Park, Rogers Park Golf Course, and the city of Temple Terrace, with reach to I-275, USF, downtown Tampa, and Tampa International Airport; confirm exact drive times for the specific address.

Because homes here are individual and older, value is house-by-house. Confirm the build year, condition, roof and systems, the lot, and any flood-zone or river exposure, and comp the specific home within Temple Crest before you offer.

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

Live from Stellar MLS, as of June 24, 2026. Refreshed twice daily. Months of supply, days on market, and the contract-to-listing ratio are computed from current Temple Crest listings and the trailing twelve months of closed sales.

Median sale price by year. Tap a label to compare or Tampa. The 1-year price change is the median sold price over the most recent year versus the prior year, the same measure most listing sites and local Realtor reports use. It reflects the mix of homes that sold, not the change in any single home's value, which is why median price per square foot is shown alongside it to adjust for home size. In thinly traded neighborhoods, where a sale or two can swing the median, we lead with the mix-resistant price-per-square-foot trend instead.

Net OutlookBullishThe structural story is an established river-adjacent neighborhood of older, individual homes near Temple Terrace and USF.

October 2024
Flood
Hurricane Milton drove record Hillsborough River crests near Temple Terrace
After Hurricane Milton dropped more than a foot of rain on the Tampa Bay area, the Hillsborough River reached record levels near Morris Bridge and Temple Terrace, with major flooding and more than 700 water rescues reported in Hillsborough County (WTSP, October 2024). Treat river-adjacent parcels with care and confirm the flood zone. Why it matters: The river is both an amenity and a flood-risk factor; for parcels near the water, confirm the flood zone, elevation, and insurance cost before you offer. Source

Corridor
City of Tampa advances Sulphur Springs Neighborhood Action Plan on the river corridor
The City of Tampa moved its Sulphur Springs Neighborhood Action Plan into a new phase in 2025, seeking community input to guide investment in roads, sidewalks, parks, drainage, and utilities along the Hillsborough River corridor near Temple Crest (City of Tampa, March 2025). Confirm what applies to the specific block. Why it matters: Public attention to river-corridor infrastructure is a slow-moving positive for the area; confirm scope and timing rather than assuming a near-term effect on a given home. Source

The Strategy

The Temple Crest buying strategy.

If we were buying in Temple Crest, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

Confirm the flood zone and elevation, especially for parcels near the Hillsborough River, and price flood insurance before you assume a value.

Read the roof and systems, since homes here date mainly to the 1950s and 1960s and the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical drive cost.

Check the build year and any updates, because condition varies widely across older, individual homes.

Confirm the lot and trees, since larger, oak-shaded lots are part of the appeal and the maintenance.

Comp the specific home within Temple Crest, not against a uniform new-construction tract.

The Quick Decision

Best Buy

A sound, updated mid-century home on a desirable lot away from the highest flood exposure, priced to its condition.

Biggest Risk

Underbudgeting roof, systems, or flood insurance, or buying a river-adjacent parcel without confirming the flood zone.

Best Lot

Larger, oak-shaded lots and quiet streets carry value; river proximity cuts both ways given flood risk.

Smart Timing

Confirm the flood zone, the roof and systems, and the build year before you write.

What your money buys in Temple Crest.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Here are the broad resale bands in Temple Crest today. The right home is the one matched to your budget and the renovation math, so seeing fitting listings early is the edge.

The core is updated ranch and Craftsman homes on larger, shaded lots. Condition, the roof, and flood exposure separate these more than square footage.

Most inventory

High: larger or fully renovated homes near the river

The top end is larger or fully renovated homes, sometimes with river proximity. These trade on the home, the lot, and confirmed flood standing.

The factors that actually move value in Temple Crest, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.

15-Second Take

Renovation math decides the deal
Better lots and views resell strongest
Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
Interior lots are where buyers overpay

Proprietary Data

The renovation premium.

Renovated-listing inventory in Temple Crest is too thin right now to compute a reliable renovation premium. We read condition home by home against real comps before you offer.

Lot Value

The lot premium.

On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.

Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Temple Crest

15-Second Take

Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
Misjudging the renovation budget
Overpaying for an interior lot
Underbudgeting the carrying costs
Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

Calling the listing agent

The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.

Misjudging the renovation math

A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.

Overpaying for an interior lot

A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.

Underbudgeting the carrying costs

Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.

Skipping the systems check

An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.

“

The river setting, the shaded lots, and the central location are priced into Temple Crest. The deal is won on the home, the roof and systems, and confirmed flood standing, not the sticker.

15-Second Take

Larger, oak-shaded lots and quiet streets carry value here.
River proximity cuts both ways given flood risk; confirm the zone.
Confirm the lot, trees, and any flood elevation per home.

In an established river neighborhood like Temple Crest, the home and the lot set value together, with flood standing and older systems shaping carrying cost. Larger, oak-shaded lots and quiet streets carry value, while river proximity cuts both ways given flood risk. Compare a home against the closest sale on a comparable lot within Temple Crest, and confirm the flood zone, the roof, and the systems before the finishes.

The 15-Second Verdict

Not forBuyers who want a uniform new-construction tract, a gated amenity master plan, or to skip older-home diligence.

The edgeEach home is individual and older, so confirming flood standing and systems and comping house by house finds the value.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take

Most of this older neighborhood likely has little or no HOA.
Confirm any association, deed restrictions, or townhome rules.
Older individual homes; comp by the specific house.
Lots, location, and condition hold value; confirm flood standing.
Flood insurance can be a real part of carrying cost near the river.

As an older, established neighborhood platted in 1924, much of Temple Crest is reported to have little or no mandatory homeowners association; treat any figure as reported and confirm the relevant association or deed-restriction status, dues, scope, and reserves with the listing before you offer, since some townhome or pocket developments may differ.

Where no association exists, owners carry their own maintenance, insurance, and any flood coverage. Where a small association or townhome development applies, confirm exactly what it covers for the specific property.

This is an established river neighborhood rather than an amenity-driven master plan; Rowlett Park, Rogers Park Golf Course, and the Hillsborough River serve the setting. Confirm any association or shared facilities with the listing.

In Temple Crest, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Temple Crest, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
