As of November 2026, the MLS records 9 closed sales in Waterside Condo 03 in Tampa, FL since 2015, the most recent in May 2017. Across Tampa as a whole, 7,766 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $430,000, 35 median days on market, with 3,282 homes for sale today. At that median and Hillsborough County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.73 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,760 ($6,140 with the full homestead exemption).
Waterside Condo 03 is a compact-unit community, with a median living area around 828 square feet, in a building stock that spans 1986 to 2005 but skews toward the older end of that range given a median year built of 1986. That combination, small footprint, older construction vintage, means unit condition and any building or association updates matter more to value here than curb appeal or square footage comparisons with newer stock.
With homestead exemptions on file for only about 27.5% of homes, a meaningful share of this community is held as non-primary residences, likely investment or second-home ownership. That ownership pattern tends to produce a steadier but thinner resale pipeline rather than the turnover you would expect in an owner-occupied building, so buyers and sellers should expect pricing to be set unit by unit rather than by a fast-moving comparable set.

Who Waterside Condo is best for.
Best for
- A buyer seeking a compact, low-square-footage condo as a primary residence or pied-a-terre
- An investor comfortable with an older building vintage and evaluating unit-by-unit condition and association health
- A buyer prioritizing location in Tampa over building amenities, since none are currently identified in listings
Probably not for
- A buyer who needs significantly more living space than a roughly 828-square-foot median unit
- A buyer expecting on-site amenities such as a pool, fitness center, or clubhouse
- A buyer uncomfortable with an older, 1986-era building requiring careful due diligence on updates and reserves

The Waterside Condo buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waterside Condo 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 Waterside Condo.
A small-footprint, older-vintage condo stock
The defining fact about Waterside Condo 03 is size: a median living area of roughly 828 square feet puts most units into studio or compact one-bedroom territory rather than family-scale floor plans. Combined with a median year built of 1986, this is a building generation, not new construction, so buyers should expect to evaluate individual units on the basis of updates, maintenance history, and association reserves rather than assuming uniform condition across the community.
No community amenities are currently identified from active MLS listings, which means whatever draws a buyer here is likely to be unit-specific or location-driven rather than amenity-driven. With homestead exemptions covering only about 27.5% of the 153 homes, a large share of ownership here is non-primary, which is worth factoring into expectations around building upkeep, rental activity, and how quickly a given unit might trade.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waterside Condo. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community where unit size, vintage, and ownership structure vary this much from listing to listing, generic comps do not tell the full story. We look at individual unit condition, association financials, and how a specific listing compares to what has actually closed nearby, so you are pricing the unit in front of you, not an average.
