Clair Mel City sits southeast of downtown Tampa, close enough that you can be in the city center in about 12 minutes and at Tampa International Airport in roughly 28. It's a practical, unpretentious pocket of the county — a neighborhood built for people who want proximity without the price tag of the marquee districts, and it puts you within easy reach of areas like the 40th Street Corridor and the waterfront-leaning Gandy/sun Bay South.
The market here is small and moves quietly, with just 8 active listings and a median list price of $367,000 — noticeably more attainable than much of central Tampa. With so few homes for sale, buyers should be ready to act when the right one lists, and it's worth comparing against neighboring options like Old Seminole Heights and Lake Magdalene to understand where your dollar goes furthest.
Clair Mel City is a community in Tampa, Florida.

Clair Mel City FAQs
Is Clair Mel City a good place to live?+
It's a straightforward, well-located Tampa neighborhood that trades flash for convenience, sitting about 12 minutes from downtown and 28 from the airport. Families draw from Hillsborough County schools like Clair-Mel Elementary, Giunta Middle, and Bloomingdale High. If you value being close to the city without paying central-Tampa prices, it's worth a serious look.
Is Clair Mel City expensive?+
No — the median list price here is $367,000, which is more attainable than much of the Tampa market. If you want to weigh it against pricier close-in options, comparing to Old Seminole Heights helps put the value in perspective.
What do homes cost in Clair Mel City?+
Right now there are 8 active listings with a median list price of $367,000. Detailed figures like price-per-square-foot and home size aren't consistently reported for this small market, so working with an agent on recent comps is the smartest way to gauge a specific home's value.
How is the market in Clair Mel City?+
It's a thin, quiet market — just 8 homes are active and recorded sales over the past year are limited, so inventory turns over slowly and choices are narrow. That means when a home fits your criteria, it pays to be prepared and move quickly rather than wait for a large selection.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA and property tax figures aren't reliably reported across the current Clair Mel City listings, which is common for a neighborhood with older, non-planned housing. Expect Hillsborough County property tax rates to apply, and confirm any HOA obligations on a per-property basis before you make an offer.
