East Forest Hills sits in north Tampa, an established residential pocket close to the University of South Florida and the schools that anchor it, including the 40th Street Corridor and the older, character-rich streets of Old Seminole Heights nearby. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can be at your desk downtown in about 17 minutes and still park in a driveway on a quiet residential block. Families here draw from schools like Forest Hills Elementary and Chamberlain High, and the location keeps you connected to the rest of Tampa without paying for the flash.
The market here is small and worth watching closely. There are currently 9 active listings with a median list price of $399,000, which puts East Forest Hills at an approachable price point for buyers who want to be inside the city core. With limited inventory and no recorded sales over the past year, this is a neighborhood where working with an agent who knows the block-by-block reality matters more than reading averages.
East Forest Hills is a community in Tampa, Florida.

East Forest Hills FAQs
Is East Forest Hills a good place to live?+
It's a solid choice if you want an established north Tampa neighborhood with easy access to the city core — downtown is about 17 minutes away and the airport around 25. The area is tied to USF and schools like Forest Hills Elementary and Chamberlain High, making it practical for families and commuters alike.
Is East Forest Hills expensive?+
Not by Tampa standards. The median list price sits at $399,000, which is an approachable entry point for a location this close to downtown and USF. Compared to pricier waterfront pockets around the city, this neighborhood offers value for buyers who prioritize location.
What do homes cost in East Forest Hills?+
Right now there are 9 active listings with a median list price of $399,000. Inventory is limited, so the mix of available homes can shift quickly — it's worth checking current listings alongside nearby areas like Lake Magdalene to compare.
How is the market in East Forest Hills?+
It's a small, tight market with just 9 active listings and no recorded sales in the past 12 months. That thin data means pricing and negotiation come down to individual homes rather than broad trends, so local guidance is especially valuable here.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA and property tax figures aren't currently reported for the active listings in East Forest Hills, which is common for established, non-association neighborhoods. Your agent can pull the exact tax and any fee details for a specific property before you make an offer, and you can also weigh options in nearby areas like Gandy/sun Bay South.
