Search Palma Ceia on the map

Palma Ceia is one of South Tampa's most established addresses — tree-lined streets, a mix of vintage bungalows and newer custom builds, and A-rated schools like Plant High and Coleman Middle anchoring family life. It's the kind of place where you can walk to a coffee shop, send kids to top-rated schools, and still reach downtown Tampa in about 9 minutes or Tampa International Airport in roughly 19. If you're weighing nearby options, neighborhoods like Old Seminole Heights and Gandy/Sun Bay South offer their own character, but Palma Ceia holds a distinct pedigree.

This is a premium market, and buyers should come in clear-eyed: the median list price sits at $1,075,000 with 12 of 22 active homes priced above $1M. Homes here move — the median listing goes under contract in about 21.5 days, and sellers over the past year have collected 96% of asking on average across 103 sales. If you find the right house among the broader Tampa listings, be ready to act with a strong offer.
