Local Insight
At $121/sqft, this 1973 condo is pricing in the lower range for Tampa, but the $513 monthly HOA is substantial relative to the purchase price—that's over 7% annually—so factor that heavily into your true cost of ownership before the price feels like a bargain. The single bedroom and 710 sqft means limited flexibility if your needs change, and you'll want to dig into what that HOA actually covers and whether the building has pending assessments, since older complexes often do. Being in flood zone X is a genuine advantage here and saves you from flood insurance requirements, which is worth something in Tampa's market.
