La Collina market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $480K ($185 per sq ft), with homes averaging 49 days on market and 6.7 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 9 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
La Collina is a gated community in the heart of Brandon, Hillsborough County, built starting in 2015 and made up of about 292 Mediterranean-style single-family homes (newhomefuture.com and homesbywestbay.com, 2026). Floor plans run roughly 2,000 to 3,700 square feet, with builders including Homes by WestBay and Lennar.
It is a maintenance-free community: the HOA maintains the lawn, which is the kind of carrying-cost detail buyers should confirm line by line for the specific home. Amenities include a community pool and clubhouse, a cabana, a playground, dog parks, and walking trails (newhomefuture.com and homesbywestbay.com, 2026).
On top of the standard stock, the La Collina 70s collection by WestBay offers larger homes, roughly 3,101 to 4,828 square feet with 3 to 7 bedrooms and a 3-car garage. The standard plans and the 70s homes are different buys, so the money is made or lost on the product, the lot, and an honest read of fees, not the headline.
The location pitch is central Brandon: the community sits near schools, shopping, entertainment, and dining in Hillsborough County (lipplyrealestate.com, 2026). The work is confirming the HOA, any CDD, and what maintenance-free actually covers before you commit.
