South Tampa, FL Real Estate

You found the right website if you are searching for homes for sale in South Tampa, FL. Our website has EVERY South Tampa home for sale in Florida listed with My Florida Regional MLS (Stellar MLS).

Residents of this venerable neighborhood have long considered it the el primo location in Tampa, and few longtime residents would live anywhere else. What is its irreplaceable appeal? Quiet streets, leafy avenues, architecturally interesting homes and a mix of eclectic fine-dining restaurants and bars are big parts of the equation. So is the A-rated school district where public schools like Plant High are as reputable as many a private academy. Home styles include bungalows built in the 1920s, condos, homes built to the durable standards of the 1950s, and stunning contemporary architecture. Many of the neighborhoods have melodic names and history behind them: Palma Ceia, Hyde Park Village, SOHO, Beach Park and Sunset Park, to name a few. In addition to highly prized land, water is just steps away, as South Tampa is a peninsula, and along Bayshore Boulevard, high-rises overlook Tampa Bay. South Tampa’s location is strategic: north of MacDill Air Force Base, minutes from Tampa International Airport, and just half an hour to downtown St. Pete and beach areas. Downtown Tampa is ten minutes up the road, and shopping options include Trader Joe’s, Sprouts Market and Whole Foods – plus International Plaza for upscale shopping and dining.
