Uptown Tarpon Springs sits in the northern reach of Pinellas County, where the walkable historic core and Greek heritage of the wider city give way to established residential pockets. Neighborhoods like Pine Ridge At Lake Tarpon, Sunset Hills, and Greektown each carry their own character, and families here are served by Tarpon Springs Elementary School through Tarpon Springs High School. It's a quieter alternative to the coastal bustle, with Tampa International Airport about 42 minutes away.
The market here is small and slow-moving right now: just two active listings, both new construction, with a median list price of $709,950 and no resales stacking up. Over the past year only five homes sold, at a median of $407,500 — a reminder that today's asking prices skew toward the newer, higher end. Sellers are getting about 97% of asking, so serious buyers should expect measured negotiation rather than deep discounts.

Uptown Tarpon Springs FAQs
Is Uptown Tarpon Springs a good place to live?+
It's a good fit if you want an established, residential feel near the historic side of Tarpon Springs rather than the busy waterfront. Families benefit from a clear school path through Tarpon Springs High School, and the area stays quieter while keeping Tampa within about a 42-minute drive.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Current asking prices are on the higher side, with a median list price of $709,950 and an average of $319 per square foot. That said, the past year's five sales closed at a median of $407,500, so pricing depends heavily on whether you're buying newer construction or an older resale.
What do homes cost in Uptown Tarpon Springs?+
The two active listings range from $650,000 to $769,900, both new construction, on a median home size around 2,250 square feet. If a newer home isn't a fit, keep an eye on the live map for resales that historically sold closer to the $407,500 median.
How is the market right now?+
It's thin and slow — only two homes are active and five sold over the past 12 months, with a median 58.5 days on market. Sellers are averaging 97% of asking, so there's some room to negotiate but not steep cuts.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no consistent HOA figure reported across these listings, which is common in an area of established neighborhoods like Sunset Hills. Median property tax runs about $4,857 per year, and if you're renting instead, the median rent is around $3,000 per month.
