Washington Park is a compact pocket of Palmetto in Manatee County, where modest-sized homes and quick access to the rest of the city set the tone. It's the kind of neighborhood where the scale stays human — you're close to the character of the Palmetto Historic District and the newer master-planned energy of places like Artisan Lakes Esplanade and Trevesta without living on top of either. Downtown Tampa sits about 45 minutes north, and Tampa International is roughly 48 minutes out, so weekend trips and work commutes both stay manageable.
For buyers, this is a tight, fast-moving market. There's just one active listing right now at $215,000, while the 11 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $268,000 — and sellers averaged 101% of asking. With a median of 12 days on market, well-priced homes don't linger, so come ready to move when something fits.
Washington Park is a community in Palmetto, Florida.

Straight answers
Washington Park FAQs
Is Washington Park a good place to live?+
It's a small, straightforward Palmetto neighborhood with quick access to both the city's historic core and newer communities nearby. Assigned schools include Manatee Elementary, Martha B. King Middle, and Manatee High School, and the location keeps Tampa within about a 45-minute drive. The scale here is modest, which appeals to buyers who want a simpler, lower-key setting.
Is Washington Park expensive?+
No — it's one of Palmetto's more affordable areas, with the current active listing priced at $215,000 and a median sold price of $268,000 over the past year. At an average of $249 per square foot, you're paying for right-sized homes rather than sprawling square footage. Compared to much of the broader Palmetto market, this is an entry-friendly price point.
What do homes cost in Washington Park?+
The single active listing is $215,000, while homes that actually closed over the last 12 months did so at a median of $268,000. With a median home size near 864 square feet and an average of $249 per square foot, these are smaller, efficient properties. Expect limited choice at any given moment given the thin inventory.
How is the market in Washington Park?+
It's lean and competitive. Only one home is active right now, 11 sold in the past year, and the median time on market is just 12 days — with sellers averaging 101% of their asking price. That combination means buyers should be prepared to act quickly and offer strongly when a listing hits, and it may be worth watching nearby West Ellenton for additional options.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Median property taxes run about $2,440 per year, which is reasonable for the price range here. HOA data isn't available for this neighborhood, which often points to few or no mandatory association fees — but confirm the specifics on any individual home before you write an offer.
