The Cypress Creek Elementary zone sits in the growing stretch of southern Hillsborough County near Sun City Center, where newer subdivisions, open land and quick access to I-75 shape daily life. It's a practical, family-oriented pocket — gated communities, backyard pools and a handful of waterfront lots — rather than a high-density urban scene. Many homes here feed into Shields Middle School, so buyers tend to be households putting down roots with schools and space in mind.
The market is active and attainable: 451 homes are listed right now with a median list price of $295,000, and 1,193 homes have sold in the past year at a median of $290,000. Sellers are getting about 97% of asking and homes take a median of 56 days to sell, which points to a balanced market where buyers have some negotiating room.

Living in the Cypress Creek Elementary zone
The Cypress Creek Elementary zone covers a growing slice of southern Hillsborough County near Sun City Center, where the landscape is still a mix of established subdivisions, newer communities and open acreage. It's the kind of area people move to for more square footage and a newer home than they'd find closer to Tampa, with the trade-off of a longer drive to the urban core. The feel is suburban and residential rather than walkable or nightlife-driven.
The buyer profile here leans toward families and commuters. Gated communities make up the single biggest segment of active listings, which tells you a lot about the character — planned neighborhoods with consistent streetscapes rather than one-off historic homes. Pools and a scattering of waterfront lots add variety for buyers who want outdoor or water-oriented living.
If you value space, a predictable neighborhood environment and an attainable entry price, this zone delivers that combination. You can see the full range of what's available on the live map and compare it with the broader Sun City Center homes for sale to understand how this pocket fits into the wider area.
Schools for homes in the Cypress Creek Elementary zone
This attendance zone is anchored by Cypress Creek Elementary School, the namesake of the area and the elementary assignment for many homes here. For families, the elementary school is often the first filter when choosing a home, and this zone is defined by that boundary.
Many homes in and around this zone also feed into Shields Middle School at the middle-school level. Having a named middle school in the pipeline helps families plan several years ahead rather than reshuffling later.
One important caveat: school attendance boundaries are set by Hillsborough County Public Schools and can change from year to year. Before you make an offer, confirm the exact assigned schools for a specific address directly with the district, since zone lines don't always follow neighborhood lines and are subject to redistricting.
Homes for sale in the Cypress Creek Elementary zone: prices and housing
There are 451 active listings in the zone right now, with a median list price of $295,000 and an average of about $173 per square foot. The median home is roughly 1,704 square feet, and prices span a wide range — from $70,000 at the low end to $1,400,000 at the top — though only two listings currently sit above $1M. That spread means both first-time buyers and move-up buyers can find footing here.
The segments show where the inventory concentrates: 135 gated listings, 41 new-construction homes, 40 waterfront properties and 30 with pools. There are no active golf-community or 55+ listings in this particular dataset, so if those are priorities you'll want to look at the broader area. New construction competing alongside resale homes tends to keep pricing competitive.
On the money side, the median HOA is about $134 per month and median property tax runs roughly $4,183 per year — both normal for gated, planned communities, but worth confirming per address. Over the past 12 months, 1,193 homes sold at a median of $290,000, with sellers averaging 97% of asking and a median of 56 days on market. Those numbers describe a healthy, liquid market with modest room to negotiate.
Getting around from the Cypress Creek Elementary zone
The zone's biggest practical advantage is highway access. I-75 runs along this part of southern Hillsborough County, which is what makes the commute numbers workable: downtown Tampa is roughly 36 minutes away under typical conditions.
For travel and longer trips, Tampa International Airport is about 51 minutes out. That's a reasonable distance for a region where many residents trade a longer drive for a newer, larger home at a lower price.
This is a car-dependent area, as most of suburban south county is, so plan on driving for work, shopping and errands. Buyers who prioritize a short commute to the Tampa core should weigh that drive carefully, while those who work remotely or locally will find the location convenient and the roads straightforward.
Is the Cypress Creek Elementary zone a good fit?
This zone is a strong match for buyers who want an attainable price, newer or well-kept homes and a planned-community environment. With a median sold price of $290,000 and a median size around 1,704 square feet, you generally get more house for the money than you would closer to Tampa. Families appreciate the clear school structure, from Cypress Creek Elementary through to Shields Middle School for many addresses.
The trade-offs are honest ones. It's suburban and car-dependent, the commute to downtown Tampa is a real 36 minutes, and HOA fees of around $134 a month come with most gated neighborhoods. If you want urban walkability, nightlife or a very short city commute, this isn't that.
For buyers willing to drive a bit for space and value, though, the fundamentals are solid — a balanced market, 451 active listings to choose from, new construction mixed with resale, and sellers accepting about 97% of asking. Start with the live map to narrow by price and features, and confirm school assignments for any address before you commit.

With 1,193 homes sold in the past year, it's an established and liquid market rather than a quiet backwater. Many homes also feed into Shields Middle School, which matters to families planning ahead.

Not by Tampa-area standards — the median list price is $295,000 and the average price per square foot runs about $173. Listings range widely, from $70,000 up to $1,400,000, so there's something at nearly every budget, though only two homes are currently priced above $1M.

The median sold price over the last 12 months was $290,000, with the median home around 1,704 square feet. Because sellers are averaging 97% of asking, there's modest room to negotiate but not steep discounting. You can filter by price and feature on the live map.
How is the market right now?+
It's balanced and active: 451 homes are listed and the median time on market is 56 days. That pace, combined with sellers getting 97% of list, means buyers have some leverage without the market being distressed.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $134 per month, which is common in the gated communities that dominate this zone. Median property tax is around $4,183 per year — always confirm the exact figures for a specific address, since they vary by community and assessed value.

Downtown Tampa is roughly 36 minutes away and Tampa International Airport about 51 minutes, mostly via I-75. That makes the zone practical for commuters who want more house for the money outside the core.
Is there new construction available?+
Yes — 41 of the active listings are new construction, so buyers who prefer a never-lived-in home have real choices here. Given the ongoing growth in southern Hillsborough County, new and resale homes often compete directly on price.
