South Seminole Heights sits just north of downtown along the Hillsborough River, a neighborhood of 1920s bungalows, tree-lined streets, and a walkable stretch of independent restaurants and coffee shops. The pace here is unpretentious and creative, and you're only about six minutes from downtown Tampa and 17 from the airport, which is a rare combination this close to the city core. It pairs naturally with its northern neighbor Old Seminole Heights, and buyers often compare it against other close-in pockets like the 40th Street Corridor.
For buyers today, the market is tight but reasonable: 12 active listings, a median list price of $469,950, and homes moving in a median of 41 days. Over the past year 71 homes sold at a median of $460,000, with sellers netting about 98% of asking — a sign of steady demand rather than a frenzy. Compared to the wider run of Tampa homes for sale, it's a spot where character and location still command attention.
South Seminole Heights is a community in Tampa, Florida.

With 71 homes sold in the past year, it's an established, active community.
Is South Seminole Heights expensive?+
It's mid-range for close-in Tampa, with a median list price of $469,950 and active listings running from $309,400 up to nearly $1.5 million. The median sold price over the past year was $460,000, so most homes trade well below the top of that range. Only one listing is currently priced above $1 million.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Costs here are on the lighter side, with a median HOA of about $100 per month and median property taxes around $4,486 per year. Because most of the neighborhood is older single-family homes rather than gated communities, many properties carry no HOA at all.
