Mel-tan Heights is a small residential corner of Gulfport, the artsy waterfront town on Boca Ciega Bay that sits southwest of St. Petersburg. It's the kind of neighborhood where you're a short drive from the Gulfport homes for sale scene, nearby communities like Town Shores Of Gulfport and Pasadena Golf & Yacht Club, and still an easy 28-minute run to downtown Tampa or Tampa International Airport.
The market here is genuinely small — there's just one active listing right now, priced at $474,000, so inventory moves fast when it appears. Over the last year seven homes sold at a median of $264,855, with sellers getting about 98% of asking, which tells you well-priced homes don't linger. If you want to watch it in real time, keep an eye on the live map.

Mel-tan Heights FAQs
Is Mel-tan Heights a good place to live?+
It's a quiet residential pocket of Gulfport with easy access to the town's waterfront and downtown, plus a 28-minute drive to Tampa and TPA. Families are assigned to schools including Fairmount Park Elementary School, John Hopkins Middle School, and Gibbs High School. The small scale keeps it calm and neighborly.
Is Mel-tan Heights expensive?+
It sits in the mid-range for the area — the single active listing is priced at $474,000, while homes over the past year sold at a median of $264,855. That spread reflects a mix of price points and the fact that inventory is limited, so what's available at any moment shapes the picture.
What do homes cost in Mel-tan Heights?+
The current active listing is $474,000, and average pricing runs about $263 per square foot on a median home size of 1,805 square feet. Over the last 12 months, seven closed sales came in at a median of $264,855.
How is the market right now?+
It's fast and thin — just one home is active, and the median days on market is only 8. With sellers getting around 98% of asking, priced-right homes tend to sell quickly, so buyers should be ready to move when something comes up on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have reliable HOA, rent, or property tax figures specific to Mel-tan Heights right now, since the active inventory is so small. Costs vary by individual property and any community association, so it's worth confirming the numbers on a specific home before you make an offer.
