[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]South Tampa is quite lovely. Beautiful homes, walkable, good schools. It has always been one of the pricier areas in the metro but since the pandemic has really just exploded in price. Unless you want a complete gut job, you would need to spend an absolute minimum of $750k, but more realistically in the $1 mil+ range, to get one of those "cute" houses.

"Cute" houses in the $500k price range are very rarely going to be in nice areas. That's just how Florida is- most of the nicer areas with good schools, safety, family friendliness etc. tend to be newer, master-planned community, suburban sprawl type neighborhoods. Most of the older, non-suburban sprawl areas tend to have really crappy schools and just aren't nice. (Think: Florida man.) The areas that are older/walkable/"cute" AND nice (South Tampa, Winter Park, Coral Gables, parts of Sarasota off the top of my head) are few and far in between and as such are in VERY high demand and these days pretty much equivalent in price to the nice parts of the DMV.[/quote]

Davis Island? Bayshore?  Those have always been expensive. That’s like tossing out Kalamora townhouse as the typical DC home. [/quote]

There were always rich enclaves in FL, because it's a vacation destination.[/quote]
