Palma Ceia is one of South Tampa's most established addresses, a walkable grid of 1920s bungalows, Mediterranean revivals, and newer custom builds sitting just south of Hyde Park. The appeal is practical as much as architectural: you're about 9 minutes from downtown Tampa and 19 from the airport, with Plant High School and Coleman Middle anchoring the area's reputation among families. It reads as quiet and residential while putting you minutes from the restaurants and shops that make this stretch of the city feel lived-in.
For buyers, this is a premium market with limited supply — just 22 active listings right now, with a median list price of $942,500 and ten homes asking $1M or more. Homes move: the median time on market is 20 days, and across 98 sales in the past year sellers collected about 97% of asking. If you're weighing Tampa homes for sale more broadly, know that nearby Hyde Park and the Gandy/sun Bay South corridor offer different price points, while Old Seminole Heights and Lake Magdalene trade proximity for more house.
Palma Ceia is a community in Tampa, Florida.
