Knoll Pine is a new single-family community on Knoll Pine Way in northeast Tampa, a few blocks from the Hillsborough River and roughly two blocks west of North 56th Street, in the Temple Crest area of Hillsborough County (Tampa Bay Business Journal, 2025). It is a small project, 18 homes in total, developed by the nonprofit Corporation to Develop Communities (CDC) of Tampa, with a groundbreaking held in September 2025.
The homes are described as roughly 1,200 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a one-car garage (CDC of Tampa, 2025). Four of the 18 homes are being built with 3D-printed concrete exterior walls, reported as the first such homes in Hillsborough County, with the rest built conventionally; confirm the construction method, finishes, and warranty for any specific home.
Because this is an affordability program, not an open-market subdivision, the money question is the program itself. The homes are offered as income-qualified, deed-restricted homeownership for buyers at or below 80 percent of area median income, with down-payment assistance reported as part of the structure (83 Degrees Media, 2026). The drivers are the eligibility rules, the deed restriction terms, any resale or appreciation limits, and the length of the restriction, all of which have to be read from the recorded documents and confirmed with the developer.
The pitch is brand-new single-family ownership in an established northeast Tampa neighborhood. The Temple Crest area sits along the Hillsborough River with Busch Gardens and the University of South Florida to the north and downtown Tampa to the south. The work is the diligence: confirm eligibility, read the deed restriction and assistance terms, understand the 3D-printed construction where it applies, and verify the flood picture near the river before you commit.
