The Highlands sits on the northern edge of Spring Hill, in the kind of Hernando County pocket where lots run large and the pace stays slow. You're a short drive from established neighbors like Seven Hills, Silverthorn, and Talavera, yet the area keeps its own low-density feel — bigger yards, more room to breathe, and none of the wall-to-wall subdivision crowding. Commuters still have options, with Tampa International Airport roughly 43 minutes south and downtown Tampa about 52.
For buyers, this is a thin, wide-ranging market: just 8 active listings today, priced from $281,000 up to $1,149,500 with a median list of $546,250. Homes here take their time — the median sits at 77 days on market — which means patient buyers have room to negotiate, though sellers over the past year still pulled in about 97% of asking.

Straight answers
The Highlands FAQs
Is The Highlands a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want space and quiet over dense-subdivision living, with larger lots and a slower pace than central Spring Hill. Tampa is still within reach — roughly 43 minutes to the airport and 52 to downtown — so you get room to breathe without cutting off the metro. Established neighbors like Seven Hills round out the setting.
Is The Highlands expensive?+
It's a broad market rather than a uniformly pricey one: the median list price is $546,250, but active homes range from $281,000 all the way to $1,149,500. Over the past year the median sold price was $402,500, so what's listed now skews higher than what has actually been closing.
What do homes cost in The Highlands?+
Expect to pay around $280 per square foot, on a median home size of about 2,259 sqft. There's real variety in the current 8 listings — one is new construction and one crosses the $1 million mark — so the number you land on depends heavily on size and finish.
How is the market right now?+
It's slow and thin, which favors buyers who can wait. Homes are taking a median 77 days to sell, and only 20 have closed in the past 12 months, though sellers still averaged about 97% of their asking price. You can track new listings as they hit on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA data isn't reported for this area, which fits its lower-density, non-master-planned character — worth confirming per property since some pockets differ. Property taxes run a median of about $5,687 per year, and if you're weighing renting instead, the median rent sits around $2,500 per month.
