Highland Forest sits in the northern reaches of Spring Hill, where lots run large and the pace stays unhurried — a residential pocket surrounded by established communities like Seven Hills, Silverthorn, and Talavera. Homes here average a generous 2,128 square feet, and about half the current listings come with a pool, which tracks with the way people actually live in this part of Florida. It's a car-oriented neighborhood, with Tampa International Airport roughly 42 minutes south and downtown Tampa around 51 minutes for anyone commuting.
For buyers, the market is tight and moving quickly: just four active listings right now, with a median list price of $479,450 and homes going under contract in a median of 9.5 days. That said, the eight homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $296,485, so there's real spread between what's newly listed and what's actually changing hands.

Highland Forest FAQs
Is Highland Forest a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, spacious residential area in northern Spring Hill, with homes averaging 2,128 square feet and larger lots than the county norm. Assigned schools include Dr. Mary Giella Elementary feeder options and Hudson High School, and you're a short drive from established communities like Seven Hills and Talavera. If you want room and calm over walkability, it fits.
Is Highland Forest expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the area, with a median list price of $479,450 and current listings running from $350,000 to $499,000. At an average of $231 per square foot, you're paying for space rather than a premium address. Note that the median sold price over the past year was $296,485, so recent closings have landed well below today's asking prices.
What do homes cost in Highland Forest?+
Active listings currently range from $350,000 to $499,000, with a median list price of $479,450 and an average of $231 per square foot. Over the last 12 months, eight homes sold at a median of $296,485. That gap suggests the newest inventory skews larger and more updated than what closed earlier in the year.
How is the market in Highland Forest right now?+
It's tight and quick: only four homes are active, and the median time on market is 9.5 days. Sellers are getting about 95% of their asking price on average, so there's modest room to negotiate but not much. With inventory this thin, being ready to move matters — track new listings on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Property taxes here run a median of about $4,746 per year based on recent data. HOA figures aren't available for the current Highland Forest listings, which is common for larger-lot areas where fees vary by parcel — worth confirming on any specific home before you write an offer.
