Crenshaw Lakes market snapshot (as of June 24, 2026): the median sale price is about $970K ($341 per sq ft), with homes averaging 5 days on market and 2.7 months of supply, a balanced market (limited data). Based on 9 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Crenshaw Lakes is a quiet, established enclave of larger single-family homes in Lutz, in unincorporated north Hillsborough County (Lipply Real Estate and neighborhoods.com community guides, 2026). It sits around private Lake Crenshaw, a 31-acre lake in the Lutz area per the USF Tampa Bay Water Atlas, off Crenshaw Lake Road just south of Van Dyke Road.
The appeal here is seclusion and space: a tree-shaded setting, roomy lots, and water views, with three and four bedroom homes that often carry private pools, side-entry garages, and updated interiors. This is a low-density pocket rather than a uniform subdivision, so homes and lots vary considerably from one parcel to the next.
Because the area is older and rural in feel, the money is made or lost on the specific lot, the condition of the home, and an honest read of roof, systems, and the well and septic question, not the headline price. Confirm utilities, the HOA picture, and the flood line for the exact parcel.
The pitch is privacy plus access: a secluded Lutz address that is still a short drive from the Veterans Expressway and Suncoast Parkway, Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa International Airport, and the Carrollwood corridor. The work is sorting the lots and verifying utilities, fees, and condition before you fall for the canopy.
