The residential community is just north of MacDill Air Force Base and appeals to those seeking waterfront amenities.

And it's the best place to take in a postcard view of Downtown Tampa," says Greg Margliano, the Principal and Founding Agent and Realtor at Compass, who's been selling in the area for over 20 years. "With large oak trees, so it feels like you're way out in the suburbs, but you're only about 6 minutes from Downtown and 15 minutes from the huge Westshore and International malls." Ballast Point earns a 2 out of 10 on the CAP Index crime score, compared to the national average of 4.
