Chester W. Taylor Jr. Elementary School

It's a practical fit for families who want space and school access without losing Tampa connectivity — downtown is about 35 minutes and the airport around 47. The zone feeds well-known local schools including Zephyrhills High School, and steady sales of 1,020 homes over the past year show consistent demand. It's a community that suits everyday family life more than resort-style living.

The median list price is $395,000 and the median sold price over the last year was $409,995, which is moderate for the Tampa region. Prices span a wide range from $39,000 to $1,349,000, and only five active listings are priced above $1 million. Most buyers will find plenty of options in the $300Ks to $400Ks.

Homes average about $191 per square foot, and with a median size near 1,996 square feet, that puts a typical home right around the $395,000 median list price. You'll find Zephyrhills homes for sale both as resale properties and among the 111 new-construction listings currently active. The $39,000 to $1.35 million range means there's genuine variety in size and finish.

There are 274 active listings and homes take a median 50.5 days to sell, which points to a balanced market rather than a frenzy. Sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price on average, so well-priced homes still move without deep discounts. With 1,020 sales in the past year, there's steady activity to work with.

The median HOA runs about $74 per month, which is modest, though 29 gated communities in the zone may carry their own dues. Median property tax lands around $2,710 per year. If you're renting first or evaluating investment math, the median rent here is about $2,350 per month.
