A new Mattamy Homes community on Boyette Road at Silver Fox Lane, Riverview

At the southwest corner of Boyette Road and Silver Fox Lane in Riverview, about fourteen acres that held four rural homesteads has been approved for forty-two single-family homes. Hillsborough County assigned addresses to every one of those lots in October 2026, and the streets they sit on already have names: Dahlia Bloom Street and Jewel Orchid Court. The land is owned by Mattamy Homes.

What does not exist yet is a community name. Not a price, not a floor plan, not a model, not even a sales brand for the place. That is unusual enough to be worth explaining, along with two other things a buyer here genuinely needs to know: this is not part of FishHawk Ranch, and part of the site touches a mapped flood hazard area.

What this is, and what it is not

Start with the name, because it is the thing most likely to mislead. This project has no released name. In county records it exists as a rezoning file and, since October, as a set of addresses. Some early references pair the words Boyette and FishHawk, and that phrasing has spread, which is understandable: Boyette Road is the corridor that runs out toward the FishHawk area, and FishHawk Ranch is the best-known community in that direction.

It is not a FishHawk community. The county places this site in its Riverview and SouthShore planning area, not in FishHawk, and there is no connection between the two beyond a shared road. That matters practically, because FishHawk Ranch is a large master-planned community with its own amenities, its own fee structure and its own community development district, none of which apply here. Buying one of forty-two homes on an infill site is a materially different proposition from buying inside a master plan, and anyone who arrives expecting the latter should know before they tour.

It is also not Mattamy's SkyHawk community, which is a separate and much larger project further east in Lithia with its own page on the builder's site. The two get conflated because both are Mattamy and both have similar-sounding associations with the area.

Mattamy Homes is named here because it owns the land and is the applicant of record on the approved rezoning, which is a fact about the public record and nothing more. It has not opened sales here. Subdiview is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Mattamy Homes. Mattamy Homes and its community names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here for identification only. All community information is compiled from public records and is subject to change.

What is actually on record

The county board approved the rezoning in December 2025, moving the land from an agricultural designation to a conventional single-family residential one and setting the forty-two-lot plan. The vote was unanimous and the item passed on the consent agenda, which is the normal path for an uncontroversial application of this size. Mattamy took title in July 2026 for a little under five million dollars.

In October 2026 the county assigned addresses to all forty-two lots, plus a lift station and a mail kiosk. Address assignment usually sits immediately before construction, which is why it is a sharp signal that a project is real and moving. In this case it was done as an early release against a plat that is still under county review rather than one that has recorded. The practical effect is that the addresses exist on paper while the land is still legally four large parcels. No lot can be sold and no house can be permitted until that plat records.

That ordering is worth being precise about, because it is easy to read an address list as evidence that homes are going up. They are not. There is no recorded plat, no house permit, and nothing has ever been listed for sale on any of these streets.

The street names, though, are real and already fixed, and they are the most concretely useful thing on this page. Thirty-six lots front Dahlia Bloom Street and six front Jewel Orchid Court. If you want to watch this site, those are the terms that will eventually carry listings.

Where this actually is

Riverview is one of the fastest-growing parts of the Tampa Bay area, a broad stretch of unincorporated south Hillsborough County between Brandon and the Alafia River that has absorbed an enormous amount of new housing over the last two decades. It is suburban rather than urban, built around arterial roads rather than a downtown, and its appeal is largely about access: US-301 and Interstate 75 put downtown Tampa, the MacDill area and the Brandon employment corridor within a normal commute, which is why the population has roughly doubled in a generation.

The Boyette Road corridor is the eastern, more rural-feeling edge of that growth. Head west and you are quickly into established Riverview subdivisions and retail. Head east and the lots get larger and the land turns agricultural before you reach the FishHawk area and Lithia. This site sits at the transition, which is the source of both its appeal and its tradeoffs.

The appeal is that fourteen acres of former homesteads surrounded by larger agricultural and estate parcels is a quieter setting than an interior position inside a thousand-home master plan, and it is a short drive to the amenities and retail that the master plans built. Forty-two homes also means forty-two neighbours rather than several thousand, and no amenity complex to fund.

The honest tradeoffs follow from the same facts. There will be no community pool, no clubhouse and no gate, because a project this size cannot support them. The surrounding agricultural and estate zoning is pleasant now and is also exactly the land that gets developed next, so the rural feel is not guaranteed to persist. And the roads here, Boyette Road in particular, carry traffic built up over years of growth further east, which is the standard friction of this corridor.

What the next year or so looks like

This project is unusually easy to track, because it is sitting at a single identifiable bottleneck: the plat. Understanding the sequence tells you both why there is no price yet and roughly how much notice you will get.

The addresses already exist, which means the lot layout is settled enough for the county to have numbered it. What has to happen next is that the final plat clears review and records. That single event converts four large parcels into forty-two legally saleable lots, and it is what releases everything downstream. Before it, no lot can be sold and no house can be permitted. After it, house permits usually follow within weeks, typically starting with a model and a handful of homes near the entrance.

Running alongside that is the site work itself: the stormwater pond, the road bed, and the sewer, water and reuse mains, with the lift station already addressed on the plans. On a forty-two-lot site that work is measured in months rather than years, which is one practical advantage of a small project over a large one. There is no phase two here to wait through and no half-built second half to live beside.

Sales typically open somewhere between the plat recording and the model opening. Pricing tends to appear quietly, as a starting figure on a builder's own site, before any sign goes up on Boyette Road. On a forty-two-lot community that window is genuinely short and the inventory is genuinely finite, which is a real difference from a master plan releasing lots steadily over several years: there is no second chance at an early-release lot here, because there are only forty-two of them in total.

No date attached to this project anywhere should be read as a commitment, including one a sales agent gives you later. A plat can go back for another round of review. Wet-season earthwork stalls. Any timing you see is a target.

Getting around, and what is nearby

The practical case for this location is access without being in the middle of it. Boyette Road runs west into the heart of Riverview and connects through to US-301 and, a little further, to Interstate 75. That is the combination that makes south Hillsborough work for commuters: downtown Tampa, the MacDill area and the Brandon employment corridor are all reachable, and the Selmon Expressway picks up the cross-town traffic from there. It is a car-dependent location, as nearly all of Riverview is, and the morning direction of travel on Boyette Road is westbound, which is worth experiencing once before committing.

Day-to-day shopping, groceries and the usual suburban retail are a short drive west along Boyette Road, where the earlier waves of Riverview growth built it out. Heading the other way, east and south, the land opens up quickly: the Alafia River corridor, Alafia River State Park and the preserve land in that direction are among the better outdoor assets in the county, and they are a genuine amenity for this corner rather than a notional one. Tampa's airport and the Gulf beaches are both an hour-ish run depending on traffic, which is the normal compromise for living on this side of the bay.

The thing worth weighing honestly is that this is a growth corridor in the middle of growing. The schools in this part of the county have been absorbing new rooftops for years, which in Hillsborough has historically meant portable classrooms and boundary changes at the fast-growing edges. The road network is being asked to carry traffic from developments further east that were approved after it was built. None of that is a reason not to buy here, and it is the same story across most of Florida's suburban edge. It is a reason to look at the drive and the specific school assignment yourself rather than taking a brochure's word for either.

The flood question, specifically

This deserves its own section because the answer is genuinely mixed, and a page that summarised it as a simple yes or no would be misleading either way.

Most of this site, including the middle of every one of the four parcels, is mapped outside the special flood hazard area. But three of the four parcels touch a high-risk area along an edge. That area is an unnumbered one, which means the federal maps designate it as high risk without ever having established a base flood elevation for it. In practice that is the least informative category on the map: it tells you water is expected without telling you how high.

What this means for a buyer is that the answer is a per-lot question, not a per-community one. When the plat records and the final engineering is set, some of these forty-two lots will be entirely clear of it and some may not be, and the stormwater design may change the picture again. If flood insurance is required on a particular lot it is a real annual cost, and if it is not required it is still worth pricing, because across Florida a substantial minority of all flood claims ever paid were on properties mapped outside the hazard area. The actionable step is simple: before you sign on a specific lot, ask for the flood determination for that lot rather than for the subdivision.

What it costs to own here

Two things about the cost picture here are unusual enough to be worth spelling out, and one of them is good news.

The good news is that no community development district covers this site. In this particular part of Hillsborough County that is close to remarkable: the county has dozens of them, and several of the large communities within a few minutes of here carry one. A district adds an annual assessment, collected with the property tax bill, to repay the bonds that paid for a community's roads and drainage, and on a larger new community it can run to a few hundred dollars a month. A buyer comparing this project against another new community nearby may well be comparing a home with no district assessment against one with a significant ongoing charge, and that difference can dwarf a price difference between the two. There may still be a homeowners association here with its own dues, and that has not been published.

The less welcome item is the first-year tax step. Three of the four parcels still carry an agricultural classification, which keeps their assessed value far below market while the land sits unimproved. Once the plat records and houses are built and assessed, that protection disappears and the tax bill resets to reflect a finished home on a platted residential lot. Buyers of new construction in Florida are regularly caught by this, because the figure they see quoted during their first year often reflects the old assessment rather than the one they will actually be paying. Florida has no state income tax, and the homestead exemption, which is set by state law and is identical in every county, takes up to 51,411 dollars off the taxable value of a primary residence. Ask for an estimate built on a finished, assessed home rather than on the current bill.

Insurance deserves the same attention it does anywhere in Florida, and buying new is a genuine advantage. A brand-new home built to the current wind code, with a new roof and new openings, is exactly what a wind-mitigation inspection credits, and premiums often land well below those on an otherwise comparable home from the 1980s or 1990s. Get a quote on a specific plan and lot rather than accepting a placeholder in a payment estimate.

One more thing specific to a project this small, and it cuts both ways. With only forty-two homes there is no amenity budget, which keeps carrying costs down, but it also means a homeowners association here will have forty-two households to spread every shared expense across: the entry feature, the stormwater pond maintenance, the street lighting and whatever landscaping sits in the common tracts. Small associations have thinner reserves and less room to absorb a surprise, so the budget is worth reading closely once it exists rather than assuming a low fee means low risk. Ask what the association is responsible for maintaining, and what the developer intends to hand over at turnover.

What nearby homes have sold for

There is no pricing for this community, but there is unusually good evidence next door. The subdivision immediately adjoining this site was platted in early 2024 by a different national builder, and its homes closed between roughly 634,000 and 998,000 dollars on lots of about a sixth to a fifth of an acre, in sales recorded from August 2024 through December 2025. Those homes carry a homeowners association fee of about 197 dollars a month and no community development district.

That is the single most useful price reference available for this location, and it comes with two caveats worth stating. It is a different builder with a different product line, so plan sizes and finish levels will not match. And those figures are as of the end of 2025, which in a market that has moved as much as Tampa Bay's is long enough to matter. Treat it as a sense of the neighbourhood's price band rather than a prediction of what these forty-two homes will list for.

The broader comparison a buyer out here faces is between an infill project like this one and a position inside one of the large master-planned communities nearby. The master plans offer pools, clubhouses, trails and scale, funded by a district assessment and larger association dues. A forty-two-home site offers none of that and charges for none of it. Neither is better in the abstract. It is worth knowing which one you are buying.

Buying new construction with your own agent

The person at the builder's sales desk works for the builder. That is their job, and they are usually good at it. It does mean the only person in the conversation reading the contract on your behalf is whoever you bring with you.

On new construction, having your own representation generally costs the buyer nothing, because the builder already budgets for it whether you bring someone or not. Where people lose it is timing: you usually need representation in place before your first visit to a sales office. Walk in alone, register yourself, and many builders will decline to recognise an agent afterwards.

On a site like this one there are a few questions worth asking that would not come up on a resale. Which specific lots carry a flood determination, and at what cost. Whether there will be a homeowners association and what its budget looks like with only forty-two homes to spread costs across, because a small association has less margin than a large one. What the builder may substitute, what happens if completion slips, how the deposit is held, what the warranty covers, and whether the lot premium and any closing-cost incentive are tied to using the builder's own lender.

What is still genuinely unknown

The gaps here are real and naming them is more useful than smoothing them over.

There is no community name, no product line, no square-footage range, no lot-size detail and no price. The plat has not recorded, so lot lines and the final stormwater design are not fixed, and which lots are affected by the mapped flood area therefore cannot be answered yet. The specific zoned elementary, middle and high schools cannot be confirmed because the addresses were only just created. Whether there will be a homeowners association, and what it would cost, is unpublished. And the timing depends on a plat under review, which does not run to a published schedule.

Those answers tend to arrive together, in a single week, when a builder decides to go to market. That is the moment this list is for.
