The Preserve at La Paloma is a gated 55-plus community by Mattamy Homes at the Villages at Cypress Creek in Sun City Center, Hillsborough County, an enclave of only 104 homes with a private gated entrance (Mattamy Homes and listing sources, 2026).
It offers stylish, low-maintenance attached villas and single-family homes, with a select number of homesites featuring views of the Cypress Creek Golf Club or ponds. Resort-style amenities include a clubhouse with meeting rooms, a large heated pool with a sundeck and a hot tub, a pickleball court, and a firepit gathering area, with sidewalks throughout. The community has largely sold out; confirm the HOA and any CDD for the specific home.
This is a gated, low-maintenance 55-plus market, so the money is made or lost on the product, the lot, the view, the condition, and the fees, not the headline price.
The pitch is gated, low-maintenance 55-plus living with resort amenities and golf or pond views in Sun City Center. The work is sorting the villa-versus-home product, confirming the HOA and any CDD, reading condition and view, and pricing against real comps before you offer.
