“Green-certified” Lithia suburb

FishHawk Ranch is one of the most desired neighborhoods in Tampa, highlighted by resort-style amenities, highly-ranked schools and a natural landscape. "It's kind of its own little city, but the trifecta of A-rated schools is the biggest draw here," says Jeff Gould, a broker at Jeffrey Gould Real Estate and resident since 2005. "That's hard to find in the Tampa Bay area, and then it's the community's beauty that keeps them here." FishHawk Ranch is the area's first "green-certified" community, appreciated for its green spaces, natural landscape, ponds and conservation areas.

FishHawk Ranch is a Newland master-planned community in the Lithia area and is green-certified.

Key West-style conch and larger Mediterranean style homes

The winding streets of FishHawk Ranch are lined with homes in various shapes and styles, giving the neighborhood a unique architectural charm. Single-family cottages, ranch-style and bungalows tucked between the towering oak trees usually cost between $380,000 and $700,000. Spanish Mediterranean-style houses and McMansions range from $750,000 to a couple of million dollars. Higher-end homes may include yards filled with palm trees and sparkling pools alongside multi-car garages. Colorful townhouses with two- or three-bedrooms and multiple bathrooms often cost between $250,000 and $400,000. "There's something for everyone, from two-bedroom townhouses to 5,000 square-foot mansions," Gould says. Luxury estates are prominent in the gated Chapman Crossing subdivision, while the FishHawk Ridge subdivision has primarily homes in the middle price range. The neighborhood includes HOA fees for different subdivisions, often between a few dollars to around $80 monthly.
