West Tampa carries a real sense of place — a historic, walkable community just west of the river with a mix of old bungalows and newer infill, all within an 11-minute drive of downtown Tampa and 14 minutes from the airport. It sits comfortably among some of the city's most recognizable pockets, from Old Seminole Heights to the waterfront edge of Gandy/Sun Bay South, and it appeals to buyers who want proximity to the core without downtown price tags.
Right now the market here is tight and deliberate. There are only 5 active listings with a median list price of $565,000, and homes are taking a median of 72 days to sell — so buyers have room to be selective. Over the last 12 months 19 homes changed hands at a median sold price of $690,000, with sellers netting about 96% of asking, which tells you well-priced homes still move.
West Tampa is a community in Tampa, Florida.
