The Bay Crest Elementary zone sits on Tampa's northwest coast, where canal-front streets open toward the bay and the pace stays quiet despite being close to everything. Nearly a third of what's listed here touches the water, and pools show up in more than half of active homes — this is a neighborhood built for boat access and backyard afternoons. With Tampa International Airport roughly 17 minutes away and downtown about 24, it's a practical base for people who still want the coastal feel.
For buyers, the market is broad: 141 active listings span from an $89,900 entry point to nearly $4 million, with a median list of $475,000. Homes are taking around 55 days to sell and sellers are netting about 97% of asking, so there's room to negotiate without expecting fire-sale pricing. If you're weighing the waterfront homes against inland options, or comparing feeder schools like Madison Middle School and Plant High School, it pays to know where each segment is priced.
Bay Crest Elementary School is an attendance zone in Tampa, Florida.

Bay Crest Elementary School FAQs
Is the Bay Crest Elementary area a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a coastal, quieter setting with easy commutes — the airport is about 17 minutes and downtown about 24. Nearly a third of active homes are waterfront and over half have pools, so the outdoor lifestyle is real. Families also value the connection to schools like Plant High School.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
It's mid-range for Tampa with a lot of variety: the median list price is $475,000 and the average is about $293 per square foot. Entry-level listings start around $89,900 while the top end reaches $3,950,000, and 21 active homes are priced above $1 million. That spread means you can find both starter homes and premium waterfront properties.
What do homes actually cost in this zone?+
Over the past 12 months, 271 homes sold at a median price of $425,000, close to the current $475,000 median list. The typical home is around 1,619 square feet, and you can browse current pricing on the live map. Waterfront and larger homes push well above those medians.
How is the market right now?+
There are 141 active listings and homes are taking a median of 55 days to sell, so buyers have time to be selective. Sellers are getting about 97% of asking on average, meaning realistic offers close but aggressive lowballs generally don't. It's a balanced market rather than a frenzy.
What should I expect for HOA fees and taxes?+
The median property tax runs about $3,802 per year, and the median HOA is roughly $565 per month — though HOA costs vary widely by community, with 43 active listings in gated neighborhoods. If you'd rather rent first, the median rent here is around $1,650 per month. Always confirm the specific HOA and any waterfront or flood-related costs on a given property.
