Carriage Hills
Homes for Sale in Temple Terrace, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 11 closed sales in Carriage Hills in Temple Terrace, FL since 2021, the most recent in June 2026. Across Temple Terrace as a whole, 180 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $415,000, 40 median days on market, with 51 homes for sale today. At that median and Hillsborough County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.73 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,530 ($5,900 with the full homestead exemption).
Carriage Hills is a small, tightly defined pocket of Temple Terrace — 57 homes, nearly all built between 1970 and 1972. When the housing stock is this uniform in age and the median floor plan sits right around 2,052 square feet, price is driven less by square footage and more by condition. An updated systems-and-kitchen home and a original-to-the-1970s home can sit far apart on price even at similar size, so expect a wide, condition-driven spread here.
With a homestead share above 84%, this is an owner-occupied subdivision where turnover is limited and inventory tends to be thin. For a seller, that scarcity works in your favor when a well-kept home hits the market. For a buyer, it means patience — the right home does not come up often, and when it does, condition is the variable you are really pricing.
The 60-Second Overview
Carriage Hills is a compact early-1970s subdivision in Temple Terrace, in Hillsborough County — a stable, predominantly owner-occupied enclave where homes cluster around a roughly 2,050-square-foot footprint and vary mostly by how much updating they have seen.

Who Carriage Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want an established Temple Terrace address and value long-term stability over a brand-new build
- Buyers willing to invest in updating an early-1970s home to build value on the condition side
- Long-hold owners who prize a low-turnover, predominantly owner-occupied subdivision
Probably not for
- Buyers on a strict budget who cannot absorb the cost of aging roofs, HVAC, or systems
- Buyers who need modern, move-in-ready finishes and won't renovate
- Buyers who want frequent inventory and quick selection, which a 57-home subdivision rarely offers

The Carriage Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Carriage Hills today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Carriage Hills.
A uniform-vintage pocket where condition is the story
The defining feature of Carriage Hills is consistency. A build window of just 1970 to 1972 means you are looking at homes of the same era, on a similar scale, with a median living area just over 2,000 square feet. That uniformity makes comparison straightforward on paper, but it also concentrates value in the details buyers cannot see from the curb — roof age, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and how much the kitchen and baths have been touched since the original build.
Because the subdivision is small and heavily homesteaded, listings are relatively infrequent. That thin supply can compress the time a strong, move-in-ready home spends on the market, while dated homes that need real work sit longer and negotiate harder. Both buyers and sellers should underwrite the renovation gap directly rather than assume the median tells the whole price story.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Carriage Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
