Ballast Point Homes for sale - Tampa Homes Sold

Ballast Point is a neighborhood located in the heart of South Tampa, just north of MacDill Air Force Base. It’s on the west side of Hillsborough Bay (which connects to the Gulf of Mexico). Less than 15 minutes from downtown Tampa, it’s one of the area’s most historic neighborhoods.

Excellent schools, shopping, and entertainment opportunities make this one of the most desirable areas to live in all of Tampa Bay. Numerous parks are within easy reach, as are the Gulf’s beautiful beaches. Residents enjoy being so close to Tampa’s vibrant downtown and its surrounding communities. At 4.5 miles, nearby Bayshore Boulevard is the longest continuous sidewalk in the world and provides joggers, walkers, bikers, and rollerbladers with spectacular waterfront views while they work out.

Ballast Point Park is close by and offers dramatic views of the city across the water. Its shady walkways meander peacefully along the water, while its boat ramp, bait shop, and fishing pier delight fishermen of all ages. Picnic tables provide a great place to have a casual family meal. There’s even a city-owned gym in the park that offers very affordable memberships. The famous Tampa Yacht Club (started in 1904) is in the neighborhood and has long been a place where local socialites like to kick back and enjoy a cocktail or two after swimming, sailing, or playing tennis at the upscale club. The club is home to one of the region’s finest equestrian hunter/ jumper facilities. It’s also a prominent place to get married or throw a magnificent party on a grand scale.

Some homes in the Ballast Point area feature big wraparound porches and elegant architectural details, harking back to a simpler time in Florida’s history. Others are smaller and more modern. Styles range from small condos and townhomes to estate-sized single family homes overlooking the water. Recent home prices in the neighborhood range from the low $100,000’s to over $5 million.
