Hudson Park

Yes, and it is further along than most communities we write about this early. The county commission adopted the rezoning that created this community in the spring of 2025, under the name the application was filed in. The construction plans for the subdivision were subsequently approved, and then modified once to add the entrance gate. A site development permit covering the sitework was issued in February 2026 and is marked completed. Three separate right-of-way permits covering offsite road and utility work are issued. Most tellingly, three applications for new single-family homes are now on file against Leila Drive addresses, one of them explicitly described as a model home, and an associated stormwater permit on that model home lot has been issued. So the approval chain is not a single piece of paper. What has not happened: nothing is built. There is no completed inspection on any of those home permits, no certificate of occupancy, and no price of any kind has been released.

The one interior street established in county addressing so far is Leila Drive, and twenty-four addresses have been assigned along it. The entrance is on Colony Road. We publish those names because they are the most useful thing we can give you at this stage: they are what makes a community findable before it has a brand. Two honest caveats. Twenty-four addresses against sixty-three approved lots means the addressing is partial, so there are almost certainly further streets to come and we cannot tell you what they will be called. And the county's dedicated street centerline data has not been refreshed in over two years, so we cannot fill that gap from it. The names arrive with the recorded plat, which has not happened yet.

No, and we want to be careful here because this is the single claim most likely to be misread. An application to plat sixty-three lots and ten tracts is on file with the county, and it has been since early 2026. But nothing has recorded. We tested that three ways rather than trusting a name search, which is the usual way to get this wrong. We ran the clerk's geographic plat index for the land section this site sits in, and it returns exactly one recorded subdivision plat for the whole section, a plat from the 1920s era book. We ran name searches on both the community name and the entitlement name and got nothing. And we checked that the plat index itself is current, by dating its newest entry, which was recorded four days before we looked. So the absence is real rather than a gap in the index. Until a plat records, the individual lots do not legally exist, the lot dimensions are not fixed on paper, and the remaining street names do not exist.

DRB Group Florida is the owner of the land, the permittee of record and the applicant named on the approved construction plans, the plat application and the building permits. That is a statement of fact drawn from the public record, not a relationship: we are not affiliated with them, we do not represent them, and they are not selling anything here yet. The consumer brand associated with that company is DRB Homes. One thing we will not do is tell you which specific homes or plans will be built, because no plan name, square footage or price has been released, and we found one recorded agreement in the file between the land owner and another homebuilding company whose subject we could not determine from the index. That could mean nothing at all. But it is enough that we describe the company by its record role rather than asserting it will be the only builder on the street.

Yes. The gate is not a marketing claim we picked up somewhere, it is in the approved plan record: the construction plans were modified to add an entry gate at the Colony Road entrance, and that modification was approved. It is worth understanding what that does and does not mean on a community of this size. A sixty-three-home gated enclave is a privacy and traffic-control feature, not an amenity programme. There is no economic basis for a clubhouse, a resort pool or a fitness centre across sixty-three homes, so do not expect one. What you get is a single controlled entrance, a short interior street network and no through traffic, which on this particular site is reinforced by a second condition: the boundary at Foxfire Drive is a permanent cul-de-sac with no vehicular connection through the community. Gates also come with costs. Somebody has to maintain the gate and its access system, and that somebody is the homeowners association, which means it shows up in your dues.

Mostly no, and the shape of the answer matters more than the headline. The county's mapping splits this site: about nine-tenths of the land is mapped outside the special flood hazard area and about one-tenth is mapped inside it, and the appraiser independently records the parcel as carrying multiple zones. We cannot tell you which individual lots fall inside, because the lots do not exist yet and that answer needs the recorded plat and the approved lot grading. So treat this as a site where the flood question is genuinely lot-specific and get a determination for your actual lot before you commit. On storm surge the picture is better than the word Hudson suggests. This site sits in the last evacuation zone the county calls, not the first, because it is roughly four to five miles inland of the Gulf. The waterfront strip at Hudson Beach, which took real damage in the 2024 storms, is a different ZIP code and a different evacuation zone from this one. That distinction is the most useful single fact on this page.

Less than the headlines about coastal Florida would lead you to expect, and for structural reasons rather than as a discount. The state-backed insurer's average premium across this county runs about one thousand six hundred and fifty-nine dollars a year as of October 2026, and private-market quotes on a new home vary widely around that. Here is what is actually driving your number. Roof age is the single biggest underwriting question in Florida, and a brand-new roof is worth more to a premium than almost anything else. Florida requires insurers to credit verified wind-mitigation features, and a home built to the current code earns most of them automatically: the roof covering and deck attachment, the roof-to-wall connections, the roof shape and the opening protection. This site carries design wind speeds in the one hundred and twenty-nine to one hundred and forty mile an hour band, so homes here are built to a serious standard. Add in a location mapped mostly outside the flood hazard area, four miles inland, in the last evacuation zone called, and a new home here is close to the best insurance case available with a Hudson mailing address. It will be materially cheaper to insure than a 1970s block house on a Hudson Beach canal. Flood insurance is not federally required outside the hazard area, but a lender may still require it on a lot that touches the mapped area, which is one more reason the lot-specific answer matters.

There is no community development district here, and that is a real differentiator worth money. The county roll carries no district for this land, and most of the big master-planned competition in this county does carry one. A district assessment is a second line on a Florida tax bill, often for twenty to thirty years, funding the roads and pipes the developer put in. Not having one is the most common pleasant surprise in Florida new construction, and the absence of one is the most common unpleasant one when buyers assume wrongly. What does apply is ordinary county taxation. On the 2025 certified rate for this tax area the combined millage runs about 16.82 mills, which is roughly sixteen dollars eighty per thousand dollars of taxable value. Inside that total are two county service units worth naming: a fire service unit at about 2.12 mills and a roads service unit at about 0.41 mills. As a rough shape, a home assessed at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars would carry something near five thousand dollars a year before homestead. Florida's additional homestead exemption is set statewide by Florida law rather than by this county, and applies only from the January after you establish residency. A completed home is assessed as of the January the first following completion, so your first full-year bill is the first year the house itself appears on the roll rather than bare land.

Not published, and we will not invent a figure. What we can tell you is that the association structure is already real rather than hypothetical: a lengthy declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions was recorded in the summer of 2026 against this land, naming an incorporated homeowners association for this community, and a short supplemental restrictions instrument followed in the autumn. That is a for-sale structure, not a rental one, and it is the document that will govern what you can and cannot do with your house. The dues figure itself is set by the developer at launch and we have found no published number. Two things you should ask for in writing before you sign anything: the current budget and dues schedule, and the full declaration. On a gated community the dues have to cover the gate and its access system, the stormwater tracts and any common area, which on a sixty-three-home community is spread across a small number of households.

It is working coastal Pasco rather than a resort town, and it is important to separate the two Hudsons. This site carries the inland Hudson ZIP, east of the main highway, not the Gulf-front one. The practical spine of daily life here is US 19, about four miles west, which carries the hospital corridor at Bayonet Point, the big-box retail and almost everything a household uses weekly. State Road 52 runs a mile or two north of the site and has been widened into a genuine east-west arterial. The thing that makes the location work is the Suncoast Parkway interchange about five miles east: a toll expressway with no traffic lights that puts northwest Hillsborough, Tampa International at roughly thirty-five miles by road, and downtown Tampa at roughly forty to forty-five miles by road, within a commute that is long but predictable. For the weekend you are five miles from Hudson Beach and its waterfront restaurants, inside ten miles of Robert K. Rees Memorial Park at Green Key and of SunWest Park, which is a spring-fed quarry lake with a man-made beach and cable wakeboarding. The Suncoast Trail, a paved rail-trail of about forty-two miles, runs beside the Parkway. The salt marsh coast, Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park and the spring systems north in Hernando County are all day trips or closer. The honest tradeoffs: summers are hot and the afternoon storms are real, this is a car-dependent part of the state with no rail option, and the commute to Tampa proper is genuinely long.

This is the part a brochure will not tell you, and it is the single most useful thing on this page after the flood answer. Hudson Park is an infill pocket inside an older rural-residential area, not a greenfield master plan with a landscaped boulevard. The parcels ringing it are large acreage tracts, one to seventeen acres, carrying a mix of mobile homes and single-family houses built from the 1960s through the 2000s, with values ranging from the teens into the low three hundred thousands. The streets around it are Foxfire Drive, Peach Tree Road, Easy Street, Hammond Drive, Lake Karl Drive, Mary Lou Drive and Vivian Lane. Those neighbours turned out in volume at the rezoning hearings, over traffic, over access at Foxfire Drive and over flooding, and the approval reflects it: the Foxfire boundary is a permanent cul-de-sac with no vehicular connection through, the landscape buffers were expanded, a buyer-disclosure condition was attached, and the Colony Road entrance was gated. If you want a two-thousand-home amenity village with a lagoon, this is not that and never will be. If you want a new, code-built, gated house on a sixty-foot lot in a quiet semi-rural pocket four miles from the Gulf with no district assessment, this is a rare shape of thing in this market. Note also that Colony Road is itself the address of a separate and larger subdivision approval elsewhere along it. Those are two different projects.

Nothing has been released for this community, so the only honest guide is what comparable new construction nearby is asking, and what the resale market is doing. As of October 2026, new-construction communities in and around Hudson were advertising from roughly two hundred and fifty thousand to around three hundred and sixty thousand dollars for single-family product, with the national builders clustered in the two-seventies to three-twenties. Across the wider Hudson submarket the median sale price over the trailing twelve months was about two hundred and ninety-six thousand dollars on roughly nine hundred closings, running near one hundred and seventy-seven dollars a square foot, with the most recent reading near three hundred thousand and up about one and a half per cent year over year. All of those figures carry an as-of date of October 2026 and they move. What should move your expectation up a little for this community: it is gated, the lots are sixty feet wide rather than forty, the density is under two homes to the acre, and there is no district assessment to subsidise the infrastructure, which usually means more of the cost sits in the price. We are not going to turn that into a prediction.

Several things, and we would rather list them than let silence imply we checked. We could not read the water management district's own permit record for this site, because every one of the district's mapping services returned a server-side failure for the entire time we were looking, and the district replaced its permitting system in mid-2026. So we cannot tell you the permit type or confirm its issued flag from the district itself, and we are not going to describe it as merely applied for, because that is a different claim from the one the evidence supports. We also could not determine whether the plat has been approved internally but not yet recorded. We could not establish the remaining lot addresses or any further street names, which individual lots fall inside the flood hazard area, the association dues, or any plan name, square footage or price. And on resale history along the new street, the major listing portals refused our requests rather than returning empty results, so treat that as unchecked rather than clean.

This site is served by the county school district, which runs countywide, and we are deliberately not naming individual schools. That is not laziness. Attendance boundaries in this district get redrawn as new schools open, and this corridor is exactly where that is happening. More to the point, assignment follows an address, the lots do not exist yet, and only twenty-four of the sixty-three addresses have even been created. Naming an elementary school today is the single most damaging error a page like this can make, because a buyer makes a decision on it. Use the district's own school locator once your specific address exists, and get the answer in writing before you sign.

Because on this community the things you most want to know are about to be decided, and they get decided before anything is advertised. A model home permit is on file. A plat application is pending. Once that plat records, the lot dimensions, the remaining street names and the full address set appear with it, and a price list usually follows within weeks of a model being finished. On a sixty-three-lot gated community the better lots are a meaningful share of the whole, and the entire community can be absorbed across a small number of releases. Joining a list now costs nothing, puts no deposit at risk and creates no obligation. What it does do is put you in front of a real estate professional licensed in Florida who represents you rather than the seller, before you ever put your own name on a builder's registration form, which is the one step that is genuinely hard to undo afterwards.
