Waterset is one of Apollo Beach's larger master-planned communities, laid out with resort-style amenities, walking trails, and a steady rhythm of new homes going up alongside established streets. It sits in southern Hillsborough County, close enough for a roughly 39-minute drive to Downtown Tampa while keeping the quieter, family-oriented feel that draws people to Apollo Beach homes for sale in the first place. Buyers comparing it to nearby Mirabay or Covington Park tend to land on Waterset for its mix of newer construction and everyday livability.
The market here is active, with 99 homes currently listed and 335 sales closing over the past year. The median list price is $465,000, and sellers are getting about 99% of asking on average, so there's some room to negotiate but not a fire sale. With new construction making up 40 of the active listings, buyers have real choice between move-in-ready resale and building fresh.
