Mintz Elementary School

It's a solid choice for families and commuters who want Tampa access without city prices. The zone feeds into schools like Bloomingdale High School and puts downtown Tampa about 15 minutes away. You get suburban space with pool and gated options in the mix.

Not by Tampa-metro standards — the median list price is $317,000 and homes average $212 per square foot. With listings starting near $199,990, it's one of the more attainable Brandon pockets, though a pool or gated home pushes toward the top of the $590,000 range.

Active listings run from $199,990 to $590,000 with a median of $317,000, on a median home size of 1,544 square feet. Over the last 12 months the median sold price was $350,000, so buyers should expect to negotiate close to asking.

It's balanced and moving at a steady clip — median days on market is 25, and sellers are getting about 98% of asking. With 27 homes active and 102 sold in the past year, there's enough turnover to give buyers real choice without frenzied competition.

Costs here are modest: the median HOA is just $41 a month and the median property tax runs $3,856 a year. Many homes carry no HOA at all, and even the gated communities keep dues low relative to newer Tampa developments.
