Palma Ceia West
Single-family homes in a range of classic Florida styles
Midcentury ranch-style homes comprise most of the housing stock, though New Traditional and Modern Transitional homes are increasingly common. Prices range between about $450,000 and $750,000, depending on age and square footage. Newer construction typically sits on the higher end of the spectrum. Some homes built in 2025, multi-story Modern Transitional builds with twice the square footage of the 1950s and ‘60s single-story ranch styles, sell for between $1 million and $3.2 million. While the flood risk here is low, risk of wind damage during hurricane season is high.Highly rated Hillsborough County Public Schools
Most kids go to Grady or Mabry Elementary, depending on their address. Both schools receive A grades from Niche. Older students continue to A-minus-rated Coleman Middle and A-plus-rated Plant High. The high school is ranked No. 1 on Niche’s list of the best public high schools in Hillsborough County. While Plant has no in-house specialty programs, other high schools offer International Baccalaureate, nursing, vo-tech, business and fine arts magnet programs. Nearby private options include A-rated Christ the King Catholic School and A-plus-rated St. Mary’s Episcopal Day School.Nearby outdoor recreation includes baseball, tennis, golf
Tampa Bay Little League’s batting cages and baseball fields are behind Grady Elementary on the neighborhood’s north side. Cal Dickson Tennis Center, across the street, has lighted outdoor tennis courts. Two of the eight courts are usually reserved for lessons, but the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club, a few blocks east, is the city’s oldest private golf club. Its Donald Ross-designed course dates back to 1916 and was revamped in 2012. Bayshore Boulevard Greenway access is within 2 miles of most homes. The 4.5-mile paved path is the longest of its kind in the country, curving between historic homes in Hyde Park and Hillsborough Bay.Henderson Boulevard, U.S. Route 92 have shopping, dining galore
Henderson Boulevard and U.S. Route 92 are lined with restaurants, retailers, banks and more. Publix, Sprouts and Trader Joe’s are within 2 miles of most homes. National chains like Chick-fil-A dot the commercial corridors between more local fixtures, like Blind Goat Tampa, a casual spot known for craft beers and pub fare, and Wright’s Gourmet House, a popular diner since 1963. Henry recommends Olivia, a modern Italian trattoria. The vibrant SoHo and Hyde Park Village dining, shopping and entertainment districts are less than 3 miles east.Close to Tampa International Airport, highways and bus stops
Tampa International Airport is about 4 miles north. It’s a 10-minute drive without traffic. Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority bus stops are available on U.S. Route 92, which runs past the neighborhood’s west side. Routes include destinations like downtown and HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital. Interstate 275 and State Road 60 connect west across the bay to Clearwater and east toward central Tampa.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
