Chiles Elementary School

It's a close-in Tampa location with easy reach to the core — about 26 minutes to downtown and 37 to the airport. The zone connects to well-known feeder schools like Plant High School, which matters to a lot of families. Between gated pockets and pool homes, there's more variety than the low median list price alone suggests.

It's more approachable than much of Tampa on paper — the median list price is $214,000 and homes average about $200 per square foot on a median size of 1,292 sqft. That said, the median sold price over the last year was $369,168, which points to bigger and higher-end homes moving too. The range spans $135,000 to $1,159,000, so there's a wide budget spread.

Active listings sit at a $214,000 median, while the 114 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $369,168. The gap reflects the mix — smaller condos and homes at the low end, larger properties at the top. Expect to pay around $200 per square foot on average.

Steady and reasonably balanced. There are 38 active listings, homes take a median of 24 days to sell, and sellers are netting about 96% of their asking price. That combination means buyers have negotiating room but shouldn't expect deep discounts on well-priced homes.

The median HOA runs about $395 a month, which reflects the gated and amenity communities in the zone, so read each listing's fees carefully. Median property tax lands near $3,513 a year. If you're renting instead, the median rent is about $1,890 a month.
