University Square sits in the orbit of the University of South Florida, a practical, well-connected pocket of central Tampa where daily errands, campus life, and a quick commute all fit into one radius. It's the kind of neighborhood that draws students, staff, and first-time buyers who want to be near everything without paying waterfront prices, with easy reach to Old Seminole Heights and the 40th Street Corridor just minutes away. Downtown Tampa is roughly 19 minutes out and Tampa International Airport about 26, so weekends and work trips are both simple.

For buyers today, this is one of the more attainable entries into Tampa homes for sale. There are 17 active listings right now with a median list price of $325,000, which puts it well below much of the metro. Inventory is limited, so if the right home appears, be ready to move — and lean on local guidance to read each listing against comparable spots like Lake Magdalene.

University Square is a community in Tampa, Florida.

University Square FAQs

Is University Square a good place to live?+

It suits buyers who value being close to the University of South Florida and central Tampa, with downtown about 19 minutes away and the airport around 26. It's a practical, well-located neighborhood rather than a resort-style enclave, and it connects easily to spots like Old Seminole Heights.

Is University Square expensive?+

No — it's one of the more attainable areas in central Tampa, with a median list price of $325,000. That sits below much of the broader Tampa market, which is a big part of the appeal for first-time and value-focused buyers.

What do homes cost in University Square?+

Right now the median list price across 17 active listings is $325,000. Pricing varies by home condition and exact location, so it's worth comparing individual listings closely before making an offer.

How is the market in University Square?+

Inventory is tight, with just 17 homes actively listed. Because supply is limited, well-priced homes can move quickly, so having financing lined up and knowing comparable areas like Lake Magdalene helps you act decisively.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

HOA and tax figures aren't consistently reported for this neighborhood, and the active listings don't show gated or HOA-heavy communities in the current mix. We can pull the exact carrying costs on any specific property before you commit.
