University Square Unit 2
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
University Square Unit 2 is a small, established resale pocket of 226 homes with a median build year of 1971 and a build range that stretches all the way to 2015, so buyers are looking at a genuine mix of original mid-century stock alongside newer infill. With only three closings in the recent window, the one-day median days-on-market number is a signal of a thin, fast-moving sample rather than a broad trend — a handful of well-priced homes moved almost immediately, but that does not mean every listing here will.
At a median price of $200,000 and roughly $119.44 per square foot on a median home size near 1,718 square feet, this is a value-priced corner of Tampa relative to newer-build product. Price here is driven more by condition and age of systems than by finish level or amenities, since no community amenities are identified from current MLS listings — buyers should expect to price in updates, and sellers should expect condition to be scrutinized closely.

University Square Unit 2 market snapshot (as of July 13, 2026): the median sale price is about $200K ($119 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 1 days on market for closed sales.

Who University Square Unit 2 is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a below-median entry point into Hillsborough County who are comfortable managing an older home's condition and updates.
- Owner-occupant buyers looking for a primary residence in a community where the majority of homes are already owner-occupied.
- Buyers who prioritize house and lot over community amenities and are willing to evaluate each listing individually.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a community with organized amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, or maintained common areas.
- Buyers seeking a uniform build era or finish level, given the 1955-to-2015 construction spread.
- Buyers who need a large, statistically deep set of recent comparable sales before committing to a price.

The University Square Unit 2 buying strategy.
If we were buying in University Square Unit 2 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 University Square Unit 2.
Condition, Not Amenities, Sets the Price
With community amenities listed as none identified from current MLS listings, this is a neighborhood where the transaction is entirely about the house itself — lot, layout, and how much of the original 1971-era systems and finishes remain versus what has been updated. The wide build-year spread, 1955 to 2015, means two homes on the same street can represent very different renovation timelines, so a per-square-foot comparison across active listings only tells part of the story.
The 59.1% homestead share indicates a majority of homes here are owner-occupied primary residences rather than investment or seasonal holdings, which tends to support more consistent day-to-day upkeep across the community even without formal amenities or an HOA structure. For buyers, that owner-occupancy pattern is worth weighing alongside condition when evaluating any specific listing.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in University Square Unit 2. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
