Living in Hunters Green, Tampa: homes, prices, HOA fees and what to check

At a glance

What Hunters Green is known for

Hunters Green is known for its 24/7 manned gates, 23 enclaves and a landscape of 43 lakes and 65 acres of protected wetlands, as described by the Hunter's Green Community Association. It is a neighborhood in the New Tampa district, inside Tampa city limits, bounded by Cross Creek Boulevard to the north, Highland Oak Drive to the east and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard to the west. It was fully established by 1991, and the 2010 census counted 5,056 residents. ZIP codes 33592 and 33647 serve it.

It is also home to Hunter's Green Country Club, with an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed course, which requires a separate membership.

Is Hunters Green a good area to live?

It suits buyers who want a gated community with lakes, trails and sports facilities inside Tampa city limits. Zillow's typical value of $531,010 sits above New Tampa's $477,837, and you should expect up to three layers of cost: the master association, an enclave association and, if you want golf, the club. Enclaves vary widely, so judge the specific enclave's rules, fees and home type rather than the community name.

Hunters Green homes and prices

Zillow's typical home value for Hunters Green was $531,010 in August 2026, down 0.8% over the year. New Tampa overall was $477,837, and Tampa Palms was $473,102. See the New Tampa guide and Tampa gated communities guide.

Homes by enclave

The 23 enclaves vary in home size, lot type and rules. Compare sales within the same enclave, and read that enclave's own documents.

Lake and golf-course homes

With 43 lakes and a golf course on site, some homes back onto water or fairways. Ask about flood history and any rules on docks, fences or screening.

Amenities

Community amenities include bike lanes, playgrounds, lighted tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer and baseball facilities, a jogging trail with a 15-station exercise circuit and an off-leash dog park.

Parks nearby

Flatwoods Park, next door, has a 7-mile loop for biking, hiking and bird watching.

Schools

Hillsborough County Public Schools assigns schools by address, and boundaries can change. Check the exact address in the district's school zone locator rather than relying on a listing, and read the Tampa schools guide for how to compare state grades.

Getting around

Bruce B. Downs Boulevard runs along the west side, and the association notes shops and restaurants just outside the gates. Ask how guests, deliveries and contractors are admitted. HART runs the area's buses, at $2.00 a trip with a $4.00 daily cap.

HOA, enclave, club and tax costs

Expect up to three separate costs:

Master, enclave and club costs

• Master association: Hunter's Green Community Association, Inc., which covers the gates and common amenities.
• Enclave association: many enclaves have their own association and fee on top of the master fee.
• Country club: Hunter's Green Country Club, with an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed course and a tennis and athletic center, requires a separate membership.

The association does not publish dues on its homepage. Ask the seller for the current master and enclave fees, any special assessments and the estoppel figure, and check the tax bill for any non-ad valorem assessments.

Gate rules also affect daily life: ask how guests, deliveries and contractors are admitted, and whether any enclave has its own second gate.

Property tax

City of Tampa parcels paid a total of 19.8428 mills for 2025, according to the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser, or about $1,984 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value before exemptions. The assessed value resets after a sale, so estimate taxes from your purchase price rather than the seller's bill, and file for homestead by March 1 if the home will be your permanent residence. See Hillsborough County property tax.

Flood insurance

Look up the address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and ask for an elevation certificate if the seller has one. Tampa is a Class 5 community in FEMA's Community Rating System, which gives a 25% discount on flood insurance in flood zones and 10% outside them. Get a quote before your inspection period ends. The Tampa flood zone guide explains the maps.

What to check before buying in Hunters Green

• All association documents: master and enclave budgets, rules and architectural guidelines.
• Club membership: whether any membership transfers with the home, and the cost of joining.
• Evacuation zone: Hillsborough County revised its evacuation zones for 2026, expanding Zone A farther inland along the coast. Check the current zone for the address.
