Ballast Point is a charming South Tampa neighborhood nestled on the west side of Hillsborough Bay, just north of MacDill Air Force Base. Canopied by grand, moss-draped oaks and anchored by the historic Ballast Point Park—complete with a 600-foot pier, splash pad, playground, boat ramp, and scenic waterfront views—it's a vibrant hub for families, dog-walkers, and anglers alike 
The housing mix ranges from mid-century bungalows and affordable ranches to modern waterfront estates and townhomes, with prices climbing nearer the bay 
Residents earn high marks for walkability, friendliness, safety, and easy access to Bayshore Boulevards' famous continuous sidewalk, excellent schools like Ballast Point Elementary, and a variety of local eateries—from cozy mom-and-pop spots to seafood bistros 
With a strong community spirit, convenient downtown and airport commutes, and a peaceful yet active atmosphere, Ballast Point is widely regarded as one of Tampa’s most desirable “hidden gem” neighborhoods.
