The Purcell Elementary zone sits in Mulberry, a small phosphate-country town in western Polk County where the pace stays unhurried and the lots run bigger than what you'll find closer to the coast. Families here trade the density of the city for quiet streets, and the local school network — from James W. Sikes Elementary School and Kingsford Elementary School up through Mulberry Middle School and Mulberry Senior High School — keeps the community tight-knit. Downtown Tampa is about 44 minutes out, so a commute is doable without living in the middle of it.
For buyers, the market here is refreshingly grounded. Among Mulberry homes for sale in this zone there are 18 active listings with a median list price of $262,500, and 70 homes have sold over the past year at a median of $267,500. Homes move in a reasonable 26.5 days on average and sellers are getting 98% of asking, so it's balanced without being frantic — worth watching on the live map.
Purcell Elementary School is an attendance zone in Mulberry, Florida.
