Logan Gate Village

It's a quiet, established North Tampa neighborhood built around single-family homes, with a handful of waterfront and pool properties currently on the market. Assigned schools include Sickles High School and Sergeant Paul R Smith Middle School, and it sits close to larger communities like Lake Magdalene. The character here is residential and low-key rather than trendy.

Compared with much of Tampa, prices are approachable — the median list price is $450,200 and homes run about $327 per square foot. The active listings range from $429,900 to $570,000, so there's some room depending on whether you want a pool or water view.

Over the past 12 months, 17 homes sold at a median price of $399,000, while current listings carry a median asking price of $450,200. Median home size is around 1,440 square feet, and rentals run about $2,500 a month if you're weighing buying against leasing.

It's tight but steady, with only 4 active listings and a median 32 days on market. Sellers have been getting 100% of asking on average over the last year, so serious buyers should be ready to move — the pace is calmer than in busier areas like the 40th Street Corridor.

There's no median HOA fee reported for the current listings, which keeps monthly carrying costs simpler than in many gated Tampa communities. Property taxes run around $3,937 a year at the median, a reasonable figure for the price point.
