Sunray Elementary School

It's a practical, affordable pocket of Holiday that appeals to families and buyers who want to be near the Gulf without coastal pricing. The area is zoned for schools like Gulfside Elementary School, and homes tend to be manageable single-story properties. It's straightforward, unpretentious living close to west Pasco's beaches and services.

No — this is one of the more affordable areas around Tampa Bay. The median list price is $249,408, with active listings ranging from $84,500 all the way up to $579,000, so there's room for tight budgets and buyers wanting a little more space alike.

Expect to pay around $203 per square foot on a median home size of about 1,117 square feet. Over the past 12 months, 166 homes sold at a median price of $222,500, so actual sale prices often land a bit below current asking levels.

It's active but balanced. There are 54 homes on the market with a median 32 days on market, and sellers are getting about 97% of their asking price on average — meaning buyers have some room to negotiate but shouldn't expect deep discounts.

The median HOA runs about $249 per month, though many homes here carry no HOA at all since much of the area is traditional single-family housing. Median property taxes come in around $2,569 per year, keeping ongoing costs reasonable.
