Part of Waterset, Apollo Beach, FL — see all Waterset homes for sale (68 listings across 4 sections in the MLS).
This section of Waterset — the Sa-2B & 5B-1 phase — sits inside one of Apollo Beach's larger master-planned developments, and pricing here tends to move with the specific phase, lot type, and build vintage rather than any single neighborhood-wide number. Current MLS data for this phase does not surface a clean set of amenity records, which usually means the phase relies on the broader Waterset community infrastructure rather than standalone features tied to this specific section.
For buyers, that makes phase-level homework important: confirm what this particular section includes versus what belongs to Waterset at large, and don't assume every amenity associated with the master plan applies directly to a home in Sa-2B or 5B-1. For sellers, positioning a listing accurately as part of the broader Waterset footprint — rather than an isolated micro-market — is usually the more effective approach given how buyers search and compare within large developments.
Figures in this note are as of July 21, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Waterset buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waterset 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 Waterset.
Reading a phase within a larger master plan
Large master-planned communities like Waterset are typically built and platted in phases, and Sa-2B & 5B-1 designates one of those specific sections. This kind of phase naming is common in Hillsborough County new-home development and generally reflects build sequencing rather than a functional or amenity difference from neighboring sections.
Because current listing data does not identify amenities tied specifically to this phase, buyers evaluating a home here should look at what's accessible community-wide in Waterset — and confirm directly what applies to this section versus what may require membership, distance, or phase-specific access. That distinction matters more here than in a single free-standing subdivision, since the answer depends on how this phase was platted relative to the rest of the development.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waterset. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Phase-specific sections inside large master plans like Waterset require someone who can separate what's actually included with a given home from what belongs to the community at large. We pull the phase-level MLS detail, confirm what amenities and HOA structures actually apply to Sa-2B & 5B-1 specifically, and make sure you're not paying for — or missing out on — something that isn't part of this section.
