Homes and prices at Varrea
As of September 2026, D.R. Horton listed Farm at Varrea homes from $315,990, with:
- 3 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 3.5 bathrooms.
- About 1,560 to 3,278 square feet in one- and two-story plans.
- 2- or 3-car garages.
- Concrete block construction on both the first and second stories.
- D.R. Horton's smart home package.
That base price is below Plant City's August 2026 typical value of $340,391, but it is a starting price. Lot premiums, options and upgrades raise it, and the CDD adds an annual cost. At the Freddie Mac average of 7.03% (week of September 24, 2026), principal and interest on $315,990 with 10% down is about $1,898 a month, before tax, insurance, CDD and HOA.
CDD and HOA fees at Varrea
Varrea is served by two CDDs, both managed by Wrathell, Hunt and Associates:
- Varrea South CDD, created September 16, 2020 by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.
- Varrea North CDD, created April 22, 2024 by the Plant City City Commission.
Each lot typically pays a debt service assessment, which repays the bonds used to build roads, drainage and utilities, and an operations and maintenance assessment, both collected on the annual property tax bill. Neither district's home page lists a per-lot figure. Before you sign, ask D.R. Horton or the district manager which CDD your lot is in, the current debt and O&M amounts, when the bonds mature, and the separate HOA fee and what it covers.
Amenities
D.R. Horton lists a resort-style pool with a lap pool and water slide, a fitness center, a playground, a dog park, a half basketball court, a cabana and clubhouse, and walking trails.
What to check before you buy
- Which CDD the lot is in and the exact annual assessments.
- Whether incentives depend on D.R. Horton's lender or title company. Compare an outside loan estimate.
- Your right to independent inspections during construction. See our Florida home inspection checklist.
- School assignment from Hillsborough County Public Schools for the specific address.
- Whether the lot is inside Plant City limits or in unincorporated Hillsborough County, which affects millage. See Hillsborough County property tax.
- Future phases and land still being developed nearby.
