James W. Sikes Elementary School FAQs
Is the James W. Sikes Elementary zone a good place to live?+
It's a practical, family-oriented part of Mulberry where the elementary zone flows into Mulberry Middle School and the high school, keeping kids on a consistent path. The area blends established streets with newer builds, and with 195 homes sold in the past year it's an active, lived-in community rather than a passing-through spot.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
Not by Central Florida standards — the median list price is $319,500 and the average is about $182 per square foot. There's genuine range too, from a $107,900 entry point up to a $2.6 million high, so budgets from starter to luxury have something to look at.
What do homes cost in this zone?+
The median list price is $319,500 and the median home runs about 1,769 square feet. Over the last 12 months the median sold price was $299,000, so buyers are generally landing close to — or a touch under — where homes list.
How is the market right now?+
Steady and balanced. Homes take a median 43 days to sell and close at 98% of asking, and with 56 active listings against 195 sales in the past year, there's enough inventory to choose from without the frenzy you'll see in hotter markets. You can browse everything on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Costs here are modest — the median HOA is about $125 a month and the median property tax runs around $2,000 a year. Thirteen of the active listings are in gated communities, where HOA dues typically cover the added amenities and security.
