Morris Bend
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
The headline fact here is the builder mix, not a price. Three separate national builders are staging phases on one 398-acre tract, which usually means three separate release schedules, three separate price ladders, and three separate contract teams — buyers should not assume terms from one builder apply to another. Taylor Morrison is the only one with public numbers right now, marketing from the high $400s, while Lennar's and Perry Homes's pricing, floorplans, and square footage have not been released.
HOA and CDD figures are also unconfirmed across the board. Until Morris Bend's builders publish those carrying costs, any total-payment comparison against nearby communities is incomplete. The planned amenity package — clubhouse, resort-style pool, playgrounds, parks, and pickleball courts — is described as planned, meaning it is not yet built and its delivery timing should be confirmed with the specific builder before it factors into a purchase decision.
The 60-Second Overview
Morris Bend is a 398-acre master-planned community taking shape in the K-Bar Ranch corridor of Hillsborough County, with three national builders — Taylor Morrison, Lennar, and Perry Homes — developing side-by-side phases under developer Eisenhower Property Group. Taylor Morrison has begun marketing its phase as coming soon with a late-2026 opening; the Lennar and Perry Homes phases are confirmed on the site plan but were not yet selling as of this writing.

Who Morris Bend is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want to compare multiple national builders on adjacent phases of the same tract
- Buyers comfortable with a late-2026 opening timeline for the only phase with published pricing
- Buyers who will confirm HOA, CDD, and school zoning directly with each builder before writing an offer
Probably not for
- Buyers who need firm pricing and floorplans from Lennar or Perry Homes today rather than later in 2026
- Buyers unwilling to track three separate sales offices and three separate release schedules
- Buyers who need confirmed HOA and CDD numbers before they will consider a community

The Morris Bend buying strategy.
If we were buying in Morris Bend 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 Morris Bend.
Three builders, one 398-acre tract
Morris Bend sits inside the established K-Bar Ranch corridor, a location with a documented Hillsborough County track record rather than a speculative address. What is new is the way this particular 398 acres is being brought to market: Taylor Morrison, Lennar, and Perry Homes are each developing their own phase rather than one builder controlling the whole tract. For a buyer, that structure matters because it means comparing floorplans and pricing within Morris Bend itself, phase to phase, in addition to comparing the community against outside competition.
Right now only Taylor Morrison has published pricing, from the high $400s, and only that phase has a stated opening target of late 2026. Lennar's and Perry Homes's phases are confirmed on paper but not yet selling, so their price points, floorplan sizes, and release dates remain open questions. HOA and CDD amounts have not been released for any of the three phases. The planned amenities — a clubhouse, resort-style pool, playgrounds, parks, and pickleball courts — are consistent with the scale of the project but are not yet built.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Morris Bend. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
