K Bar Ranch

It's a strong fit for buyers who want space, newer homes, and a quiet residential feel within New Tampa. The neighborhood is zoned for schools including Wharton High and Heritage Elementary, and offers gated sections plus a few waterfront and pool homes. If you prefer a more urban vibe, communities like the 40th Street Corridor may suit you better.

It sits in the upper-middle of the Tampa market, with a median list price of $750,000 and active homes ranging from $465,000 to $985,000. That said, the median sold price over the past year was $575,000, so buyers are often landing well below the top of the asking range.

Active listings run from $465,000 to $985,000 with a median list of $750,000, and homes average $189 per square foot across a typical 3,566-square-foot floor plan. For comparison shopping, waterfront-heavy areas like Gandy/sun Bay South offer a different price profile closer to the water.

There are 15 active listings and homes are taking a median of 54 days to sell, so it's a measured pace rather than a frenzy. With 43 sales in the last 12 months and sellers averaging 97% of asking, buyers have some negotiating room without expecting steep discounts.

The HOA is modest at a median of $55 per month, which is low for a community with gated sections. Property taxes are the bigger line item, running a median of $13,763 per year, so factor that into your monthly budget alongside your mortgage.
