Ballast Point hugs the shoreline of Hillsborough Bay along the South Tampa peninsula. The southern edge of the neighborhood borders MacDill Air Force Base, which consumes most of the southern tip of the peninsula. Residents of Ballast Point enjoy a waterfront lifestyle filled with boating and fishing. Many who don't work on the base commute to nearby Tampa, which is just six miles to the northeast. After choosing your Ballast Point apartment, you may find yourself heading downtown to the Amalie Arena to cheer on the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning or to catch a concert.
Ballast Point is a beautiful neighborhood -- the sun sparkling off the bay and the majestic oak trees dripping with Spanish moss give it an old-world feel. Ballast Point was the site of a major Civil War battle, and today the site of the battle is a park.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
