South Westshore sits at Tampa's western edge, where the neighborhood runs down toward the water and residents trade a short commute for room to spread out. It's a pocket of newer, larger homes — think 4,000-plus square feet with pools — that draws families zoned for [Plant High School] and buyers who want to be close to everything without living on top of it. Downtown Tampa is about 13 minutes away and Tampa International is roughly 16, which makes daily life here feel unusually connected. If you're weighing this area against the rest of Tampa homes for sale, the appeal is scale and location together.
This is a high-end, low-inventory market right now. Just 10 homes are active with a median list price of $2,187,500, and nine of those ten are priced above $1M — so buyers should expect competition at the top and be ready to move on the rare entry point near $450,000. Homes that sold over the past year went for a median of $1,317,500 at 95% of asking, and the typical listing lasts about 33 days. Nearby communities like Gandy/sun Bay South are worth a look if you want more options at similar proximity.
South Westshore is a community in Tampa, Florida.

South Westshore FAQs
Is South Westshore a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit for buyers who want space and a central location — the median home is over 4,000 square feet and most come with a pool. You're about 13 minutes from downtown Tampa and 16 from the airport, and the area is zoned for well-regarded schools including Plant High School and Coleman Middle School. Families and professionals who value proximity without the density of Old Seminole Heights tend to land here.
Is South Westshore expensive?+
Yes — this is one of Tampa's higher-priced pockets, with a median list price of $2,187,500 and nine of ten active homes priced above $1M. Listings range from $450,000 up to $5,250,000, so there's some spread, but the bulk of inventory sits firmly in luxury territory. For more budget flexibility at a similar commute, it's worth comparing to Gandy/sun Bay South.
What do homes cost in South Westshore?+
Active listings carry a median price of $2,187,500 and average about $539 per square foot on a median size of 4,028 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 34 homes sold at a median of $1,317,500 — a reminder that closed prices often land below asking-heavy list numbers. The gap reflects a mix of new construction and larger custom homes on the market.
How is the market in South Westshore?+
Inventory is tight, with just 10 active listings, and homes move at a measured pace — the median days on market is about 33.5. Sellers are getting 95% of asking on average, which points to a market that rewards realistic pricing rather than aggressive bidding. With 34 sales in the past year, turnover is steady but not frenzied.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no typical HOA fee reported across current listings, which is unusual for a neighborhood of this price point and worth confirming property by property. Median property taxes run about $10,235 per year, in line with homes valued above $1M. If you're renting instead, the median in the area is roughly $6,848 per month.
