Sylvan Crossing is a gated townhome community in Lutz, in the northwest corner of Hillsborough County, built by Lennar from roughly 2017 onward off Noble Caspian Drive, about a mile and a half south of the Lutz Lake Fern Road and Dale Mabry Highway area (community and listing guides, 2026).
The product is consistent: three-bedroom attached townhomes across a small number of floor plans, most around 1,700 square feet with a one or two-car garage. The community centers on a resort-style amenity area with a pool and cabana, a walking trail, and dog stations, the kind of low-maintenance footprint that draws lock-and-leave buyers.
The defining feature is the HOA. It is structured to be all-in, bundling exterior and grounds maintenance, the gate, the pool and recreation, and several utility and insurance lines, so the monthly carry is higher than a detached home but most upkeep is handled. Confirm the exact dues, what the master insurance covers, and whether any CDD assessment applies to the parcel.
The location pitch is a Lutz 33558 address with quick access to the Veterans Expressway, St. Joseph's Hospital North minutes away on Van Dyke Road, and a public-school feeder that runs to highly rated Steinbrenner High. The work is sorting the right unit and reading the HOA, the master insurance, and the floor plan before you buy.
