Stone Ridge at Highwoods Preserve is a small gated townhome community in the Highwoods Preserve area of New Tampa, in Hillsborough County and the 33647 ZIP code. It was built in the early 2000s by Mobley Homes (subdivision and builder records via Homes by Marco, 2026).
The community is gated and amenity backed, with a clubhouse, pool, fitness room, and recreation areas typical of the New Tampa townhome product of that era. The homes are attached townhomes rather than single-family, so the association covers more of the exterior and shared structure, which makes the dues, the reserve study, and any assessment history central to the buy.
Because Stone Ridge is a compact community of attached homes, the money is made or lost on the specific floor plan, the condition of the unit, and the financial health of the association, not the New Tampa headline. Read the dues, the reserves, and the assessment history before the finishes.
The pitch is location plus a lower entry point than New Tampa single-family: quick access to I-75 and Bruce B. Downs puts the Highwoods Preserve and Cross Creek retail, the New Tampa schools, and the wider Tampa job centers within a manageable drive. The work is reading the association and the unit honestly, then confirming dues, reserves, flood zone, and insurance before you fall for a price.
