Ballast Point sits at the tip of South Tampa's peninsula, where Interlopen Bayshore breezes and easy access to the water shape daily life. It's a neighborhood built around proximity — downtown Tampa is about a 12-minute drive and Tampa International is roughly 22 minutes out — with the kind of quiet, established streets that draw families and professionals who want the city close but not on top of them. You'll find the assigned Ballast Point Elementary and Robinson High School anchoring the area, plus a mix of longtime homes and newer builds. For buyers exploring South Tampa more broadly, nearby Gandy/Sun Bay South shares the same peninsula appeal.
Ballast Point is a community in Tampa, Florida.

Ballast Point FAQs
Is Ballast Point a good place to live?+
It's a settled South Tampa neighborhood with quick access to downtown — about 12 minutes by car — and Tampa International around 22 minutes away. Families are drawn to the assigned Ballast Point Elementary and Robinson High School, and the peninsula location keeps water views and breezes close at hand. If you like the peninsula lifestyle, nearby Gandy/Sun Bay South is worth a look too.
Is Ballast Point expensive?+
It runs on the higher end for Tampa, with a median list price of $975,000 and 25 of 51 active listings priced above $1 million. That said, the range is wide — from $140,000 up to $10.9 million — so there's more variety than the median suggests. The median sold price over the past year was $578,060, closer to what most buyers actually pay.
What do homes cost in Ballast Point?+
The median list price is $975,000, and homes average about $463 per square foot on a median size of 2,538 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 142 homes sold at a median price of $578,060. The gap between list and sold prices reflects the mix of luxury waterfront listings pulling the asking numbers up.
How is the market right now?+
There are 51 active listings, and homes are taking a median of 62 days to sell. Sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price on average, which points to a fairly balanced market where well-priced homes move but buyers still have room to negotiate. With 142 sales in the past year, there's steady turnover to work with.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $585 per month, though that varies widely depending on whether a property is in one of the 13 gated communities or a standalone home. Median property tax comes in around $5,918 per year. If you're renting first, the median rent in the area is roughly $3,000 per month.
