Ridgewood High School

It's a solid fit for buyers who want coastal Pasco living at a realistic price, with several elementary and middle school options nearby including Chasco Middle School. The area leans toward single-story homes and backyard pools, and Downtown Tampa is about 54 minutes away for work or weekends. Nearly 500 homes sold here over the past year, so it's an active, established community rather than a quiet backwater.

No — this is one of the more attainable parts of the Tampa Bay region, with a median list price of $261,750 and an average of $191 per square foot. Listings start as low as $84,900 and run up to $995,000, so there's genuine range depending on size, condition, and whether you want water frontage. The median home size is about 1,364 square feet.

Active listings show a median list price of $261,750, while homes that actually sold over the last 12 months closed at a median of $248,250. That gap, plus sellers getting roughly 98% of asking, tells you there's modest negotiating room. You can explore current pricing across the area on the live map.

It's steady and balanced. There are 158 active listings, homes take a median of 41 days to sell, and 498 sold in the past year — healthy turnover without the frenzy. Sellers are averaging about 98% of asking, which means well-priced homes move and buyers still have leverage on the rest.

The median property tax runs about $2,673 a year, which is reasonable for the price point. HOA costs vary widely by community — the median is $436 a month — but many homes here carry no HOA at all, so read each listing closely. If you're weighing renting first, median rent in the zone is around $1,650 a month.
