SOG, also known as South of Gandy, is a part of Tampa that some may overlook, although there are many reasons why this charming corner of South Tampa should be moved to the top of any homebuyer’s list. “SOG is regarded by some as blue- collar South Tampa, but offers a whole lot of bang for the buck when it comes to Tampa Bay area attractions and real estate,” said Buster Levin, Realtor with Exit Bayshore Realty. “MacDill Air Force Base has a huge economic impact on Tampa Bay and is anchored right in the heart of SOG on some of the most beautiful, waterfront property in town.” Located within SOG’s borders is Jules Verne Park, now known as Ballast Point Park, which has been completely renovated with a new water park, public boat ramp and an updated Ballast Point Pier. Property values are still relatively low, and homes are offered at affordable prices in an ideal location. SOG incorporates the neighborhoods of Ballast Point, Sun Bay South, Port Tampa City and Interbay and reaches from the West to East Shore and, as the name suggests, South of Gandy. “Schools are improving rapidly, and Robinson High has South Tampa’s only IB (International Baccalaureate) program,” Levin said. Although families will appreciate the top-ranked schools, households of all kinds can find a reason to call South of Gandy home.

SOG, also known as South of Gandy, is a part of Tampa that some may overlook, although there are many reasons why this charming corner of South Tampa should be moved to the top of any homebuyer’s list.

“SOG is regarded by some as blue- collar South Tampa, but offers a whole lot of bang for the buck when it comes to Tampa Bay area attractions and real estate,” said Buster Levin, Realtor with Exit Bayshore Realty. “MacDill Air Force Base has a huge economic

impact on Tampa Bay and is anchored right in the heart of SOG on some of the most beautiful, waterfront property in town.”

Located within SOG’s borders is Jules Verne Park, now known as Ballast Point Park, which has been completely renovated with a new water park, public boat ramp and an updated Ballast Point Pier.

Property values are still relatively low, and homes are offered at affordable prices in an ideal location. SOG incorporates the neighborhoods of Ballast Point, Sun Bay South, Port Tampa City and Interbay and reaches from the West to East Shore and, as the name suggests, South of Gandy.

“Schools are improving rapidly, and Robinson High has South Tampa’s only IB (International Baccalaureate) program,” Levin said.

Although families will appreciate the top-ranked schools, households of all kinds can find a reason to call South of Gandy home.
