Median days on market
University Square sits in north-central Tampa near the USF corridor, an unpretentious pocket of homes and condos where day-to-day life leans on quick access rather than curb appeal. It's the kind of place where you can be in downtown Tampa in about 19 minutes and at Tampa International in roughly 26, which is a big part of why buyers keep circling back. Neighboring communities like Old Seminole Heights and Lake Magdalene give the wider area its character, and the 40th Street Corridor keeps everyday errands close.
For a buyer today, this is one of the more affordable entry points into close-in Tampa. The median list price is $330,000 across 21 active listings, and homes are trading at about 99% of asking with a median 43 days on market — a market that's steady, not frantic. With a median sold price of $299,950 over the past year, there's room here for first-time buyers and investors alike.
University Square is a community in Tampa, Florida.
