July 5th, 2007 categories: Communities, News Around The Bay, Tampa Real Estate
There are at least 20,000 homes on the drawing board for South Hillsborough county, Florida. While developers admit the market is a challenge, people are still moving to Florida.
A ride along U.S. Highway 301 in southern Hillsborough County will show you the local and nationally known builders are moving forward with communities that have been in the planning stages for several years. Since the land was purchased before prices skyrocketed developers are confident they can offer a product to buyers at a more reasonable cost then other areas, such as South Tampa and Carrollwood in Hillsborough County.
What new homeowners are discovering, because of it?s easy access to the interstate system, it?s worth the savings to live in South Shore and commute to Tampa and surrounding cities. Along with the high numbers of inventory homes the market is experiencing, builders are offering great incentives and upgrade packages that are making the move to Apollo Beach, Riverview, Ruskin, Sun City and surrounding communities hard to resist.
As the number of rooftops continue to rise so do the amenities and just within the last year alone, new and renovated shopping centers are cropping up along with them, opening up job opportunities close to home, while offering everyday conveniences to South Shore residents.
South county?s largest residential developement, Waterset by Newland Communities, will have 5,000 homes when completed. The developement along U.S 41 is underway with it?s first phase of home construction. The first 192 homes in Waterset will be ready by next year.
