Highland Lakes,
Palm Harbor Homes for Sale

Highland Lakes is a 55-plus active-adult community in Palm Harbor, in the 34684 ZIP, in Pinellas County on Lake Tarpon, just northwest of Tampa. Public sources describe a community built between about 1977 and 1989 with roughly 2,454 attached villas and single-family homes, including single-story homes, villas, and condos.

The amenity package is the draw: public sources describe a resident 27-hole executive golf course made up of three 9-hole courses (Red, White, and Blue), a main clubhouse with a card room, a billiards room, a library, meeting rooms, and a ballroom for dinners, dances, and fitness, plus tennis, shuffleboard, bocce, pickleball, an outdoor pool, a woodworking shop, a stained-glass studio, and Lake Tarpon access. An HOA fee covers the golf and the amenity package, so confirm the current fee and exactly what is included.

The defining read is the HOA and the home. The HOA fee and what it includes drive the carrying cost, and because homes range from the late 1970s to the late 1980s, condition and systems vary home to home. Confirm the current HOA fee and inclusions, read the roof, HVAC, and systems on a specific home, and confirm the flood zone before you offer.

For buyers who want a low-maintenance, amenity-rich 55-plus lifestyle on Lake Tarpon near the Gulf, Highland Lakes is a distinctive option. The work is confirming the HOA fee and inclusions, reading the home's age and systems, and confirming the flood picture honestly before you buy.
