Shady Creek Preserve market snapshot (as of June 25, 2026): the median sale price is about $352K ($185 per sq ft), with homes averaging 49 days on market and 3.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 4 recent closings in live Stellar MLS data.
Shady Creek Preserve, marketed by Lennar simply as Shady Creek, is a single-family community off U.S. 301 in Riverview in south Hillsborough County, on streets including Purple Martin Boulevard and Shady Preserve Drive (Lennar new-home guides and Stellar MLS listings, 2026). Lennar opened the community in the mid 2010s, with build-out continuing into the early 2020s, so the housing stock reads as newer construction.
Lennar marketed the community with a set of single-family floor plans ranging from roughly 1,738 to 3,777 square feet, in three, four, and five bedroom configurations, delivered under the builder Everything's Included program (Lennar community materials, 2026). Confirm the exact plan, square footage, bedroom count, and garage for any specific home, since the community spans several plan series.
Because this is a planned community, the money is made or lost on the plan, the lot, and the carrying cost, not on the address alone. The drivers are the chosen floor plan, the lot position, the HOA dues, and the Community Development District assessment that rides on the Hillsborough County tax bill, all of which have to be read from the current community documents and the actual tax record for the exact home.
The pitch is a newer single-family home with quick access to U.S. 301 and Interstate 75 and a short drive to Brandon, downtown Tampa, and the Gulf beaches. The work is the diligence: read the HOA budget, confirm the CDD line on the tax bill, check the lot and any conservation or pond frontage, and verify the school assignment by address before you buy.
