Desoto Elementary School FAQs

Is Desoto Elementary a good area to live in?+

It's a well-located, city-close zone with a seven-minute drive to downtown Tampa and strong school feeders like Plant High School. The housing stock mixes established homes with the occasional new build, and the airport is about 22 minutes out, so it suits people who value connectivity.

Is it expensive to buy here?+

It's moderate for Tampa, with a median list price of $359,000 and active listings ranging from $190,000 to $680,000. The median home runs about 1,564 square feet at roughly $243 per square foot, so you can find entry points well below the citywide luxury tier.

What do homes cost in this zone?+

Over the last 12 months, 19 homes sold at a median price of $290,000, while current active listings carry a median list price of $359,000. That gap reflects both newer inventory and the fact that sellers are averaging about 91% of their asking price.

How is the market moving right now?+

It's steady and reasonably balanced, with 11 active listings and a median of 34 days on market. Sellers are getting around 91% of asking on average, which means there's room to negotiate but little sign of a fire sale.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

Property taxes are modest, with a median of about $1,200 per year. HOA data isn't available for this zone, which is typical of established non-gated neighborhoods, and the median rent sits around $2,200 a month if you're weighing buying versus renting.
