Highland Homes Introduces Tampa New Homes at Two New Communities

Buyers who are shopping for Tampa new homes will be pleased to hear that we’re now selling at two new communities, Trapnell Ridge in Plant City and Sunset Hills in Dade City. Both of these new home communities offer convenient locations and a great value.

We recently acquired six inventory homes as well as several home sites from a previous builder at Trapnell Ridge. Located in Hillsborough County, this community features three and four bedroom inventory homes, and three to five bedroom to-be-built homes priced from just $119,900. Buyers will love this community’s close proximity to Brandon, Tampa, Lakeland and historic downtown Plant City.

In Pasco County, Sunset Hills is already a value community of three to four bedroom homes priced from the $130,000s. However, the community is more affordable than ever with $50,000 in down payment for eligible buyers through the help of the Pasco County Neighborhood Stabilization Program! Floor plans feature up to 2,179 square feet and offer many move-in ready features such as refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, washers and dryers and window blinds.

Both communities are exciting additions to our expansive portfolio of Central Florida new homes.
