The Ballast Point Elementary zone sits on South Tampa's peninsula, where the neighborhood grid runs down toward Hillsborough Bay and the water is never far from the front door. It's an established, family-minded pocket that pulls buyers who want a short commute — Downtown Tampa is about 12 minutes away and Tampa International Airport roughly 21 — without giving up backyard pools, mature streets, and a coveted school path. Many families here are drawn by the feeder run toward Plant High School, one of the most sought-after assignments in the county.
For a buyer today, this is a real move-up market: the median list price sits at $975,000, and 31 of the 63 active listings are priced above $1M. That said, the range is enormous — from $140,000 to $10.9M — so there's room to compete at several price points, and homes are moving at a healthy median of 40 days.

Ballast Point Elementary School FAQs
Is Ballast Point a good place to live?+
It's an established South Tampa community that families gravitate toward for its short commute and its school feeder path, including Madison Middle School. With water access, mature streets, and Downtown Tampa about 12 minutes away, it balances everyday convenience with a settled residential feel.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Yes — this is a move-up market with a median list price of $975,000, and 31 of the 63 active listings are priced above $1M. That said, the range runs from $140,000 all the way to $10.9M, so there are entry points below the median if you're willing to move quickly.
What do homes cost in the Ballast Point zone?+
Active listings average $479 per square foot with a median home size of 2,538 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 203 homes sold at a median price of $800,000, so what buyers actually close on tends to run below the current list-price median.
How is the market right now?+
It's active but not frantic — homes sit a median of 40 days on the market, and sellers are getting about 97% of their asking price. With 63 active listings including 11 new-construction options, buyers have real choice while still needing to move decisively on well-priced homes.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA fee here is $585 a month, though many single-family homes carry no HOA at all — that figure reflects the condo and gated segments. The median property tax runs about $6,470 a year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent is around $3,225 a month.
