South Seminole Heights is one of Tampa's most walkable older neighborhoods, full of character bungalows and a tree-lined, close-knit feel just six minutes from downtown. It sits alongside Old Seminole Heights and within easy reach of the 40th Street Corridor, giving residents a mix of established streets and steady revitalization. With Tampa International Airport about 17 minutes away, it's a genuinely central place to land.
For buyers, the market here is measured rather than frantic. There are 8 active listings right now with a median list price of $550,000, and homes are taking a median of 107.5 days to sell — enough breathing room to negotiate. Compared to the wider range of Tampa homes for sale, this pocket rewards buyers who know the difference between a cosmetic flip and a solid bungalow.

South Seminole Heights FAQs
Is South Seminole Heights a good place to live?+
It's a central, walkable neighborhood just six minutes from downtown Tampa and about 17 minutes from the airport, which makes commuting and getting around easy. The streets have an established, character-home feel that draws buyers who want proximity without the density of downtown. If you like being close to everything while keeping a neighborhood vibe, it delivers.
Is South Seminole Heights expensive?+
It sits in a middle range for Tampa — the median list price is $550,000, with active listings running from $395,000 up to $1,399,000. Over the last 12 months, 71 homes sold at a median of $455,000, so sold prices tend to land below list. There's genuine variety here, from entry bungalows to a couple of listings above $1 million.
What do homes cost in South Seminole Heights?+
The current median list price is $550,000, and the average works out to about $327 per square foot on a median home of roughly 1,880 square feet. Only two active listings are priced above $1 million, so most of the inventory sits well under that. It's a neighborhood where price often tracks how much renovation a bungalow has had.
How is the market right now?+
It's a measured market — 8 active listings with a median 107.5 days on market, which gives buyers time to evaluate and negotiate. Sellers are getting about 97% of asking on average, so well-priced homes still move. The 71 sales over the past year, like elsewhere in Tampa, show steady demand rather than a frenzy.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $100 per month, which is modest and reflects the neighborhood's older, non-master-planned character. Median property taxes are around $6,325 per year. For buyers weighing carrying costs, those figures are worth factoring alongside the purchase price.
