Highland Forest sits on the northern edge of Spring Hill in Hernando County, a low-key pocket where lots run large and the pace stays slow. It's the kind of address that trades sidewalk density for space, with easy reach to the wider Spring Hill homes for sale market and established neighbors like Seven Hills, Talavera, and Silverthorn. Tampa is genuinely commutable too — Tampa International is about 42 minutes out and downtown roughly 51.
For a buyer, this is a thin, patient market. There are just 2 active listings right now, both around the $989,000–$990,000 mark, while the 9 homes sold over the past year closed at a median of $285,000 — a gap that tells you inventory swings hard by property. Homes here take time to move, with a median of 265 days on market, so a serious buyer has real room to negotiate. Watch the live map to see what's actually available before you commit.

Highland Forest FAQs
Is Highland Forest a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want space and quiet with real access to the Tampa metro — the airport is about 42 minutes away and downtown around 51. You're close to established communities like Weeki Wachee Acres and Silverthorn, so you get an out-of-the-way feel without being isolated.
Is Highland Forest expensive?+
It depends heavily on the property. The two active listings sit near $989,000–$990,000, but the nine homes that actually sold over the past year closed at a median of $285,000 — so the sold record is far more grounded than the current asking prices.
What do homes cost in Highland Forest?+
Median sold price over the last 12 months was $285,000 across 9 sales, while active list prices currently run around $989,500. The average price is roughly $412 per square foot on a median home size of 2,440 square feet, though that reflects a very small, high-end active pool.
How is the market right now?+
It's slow and thin, with only 2 homes active and a median 265 days on market. Sellers who do close are getting about 96% of asking on average, which signals that well-priced buyers have negotiating leverage and time on their side.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Median property tax comes in around $1,897 per year, which is modest for the price points here. There's no HOA figure on record for Highland Forest, so budget on a property-by-property basis and confirm any dues before you write an offer.
