Palma Ceia is one of South Tampa's most established addresses, defined by oak-lined streets, brick-paved blocks, and a walkable pace that keeps residents close to Bayshore and the shops and cafes of the neighborhood. The zoning to Plant High School and Coleman Middle School is a big part of the draw, and being just nine minutes from downtown Tampa and under twenty from the airport means you're central without living in the middle of it all. It's the kind of place where families stay for decades and homes get renovated rather than left behind.
For buyers, this is a competitive, higher-priced corner of the Tampa market. With 19 active listings and a median list price of $1,150,000, most homes here trade above the million-dollar mark, and 101 sales over the past year show steady demand at that level. If you're also weighing nearby options, neighborhoods like Old Seminole Heights and Gandy/Sun Bay South offer different price points within easy reach.
Palma Ceia is a community in Tampa, Florida.

Palma Ceia FAQs
Is Palma Ceia a good place to live?+
It's a long-established South Tampa neighborhood with walkable streets, close proximity to Bayshore, and strong school zoning to Plant High and Coleman Middle. Being about nine minutes from downtown and under twenty from the airport gives it a central location without the density of the urban core. It's especially popular with families who plan to stay for the long haul.
Is Palma Ceia expensive?+
Yes, it's one of Tampa's pricier neighborhoods, with a median list price of $1,150,000 and 10 of the 19 active listings priced above $1 million. Prices range from around $495,000 up to $2,995,000, so there's some variety, but most buyers should expect to shop in seven figures. If that's a stretch, nearby areas like Gandy/Sun Bay South can offer more accessible entry points.
