Arbor Greene is a gated residential community in New Tampa, located off County Line Road and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in north Hillsborough County. It is one of the larger gated communities in the New Tampa area and one of the most consistently in-demand, largely because of its combination of 24-hour guard gate, resort-style amenities, and access to the A-rated New Tampa school cluster.
The community was developed from the late 1990s through the 2010s, so the housing stock is mostly 15-25 years old with the landscaping maturity and established character that newer communities lack. Homes range from approximately 1,500 to 5,000 square feet across multiple sections with different price points. The variety within the gates means Arbor Greene attracts first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and downsizers who want the security and amenities without the ultraluxury price tag of communities like Avila or gated sections of Carrollwood.
Home Prices in Arbor Greene
Prices in Arbor Greene typically run $400K on the lower end for a smaller, 3-bedroom home in an entry-level section, up to $900K+ for larger, fully updated homes on better lots within the community. The most common transaction range is $475K-$750K. New construction is no longer available within Arbor Greene, so all purchases are resale properties. The age and condition of any specific home matters significantly, given the 15-25 year age of most construction.
Amenities
Arbor Greene's amenity center is one of the features that sets it apart from non-gated alternatives in New Tampa at similar price points. The amenity package includes a resort-style swimming pool, a fitness center, lighted tennis courts, and a community clubhouse with rental space for events. The community also has walking trails, lakes with catch-and-release fishing, and well-maintained common areas throughout. Monthly HOA fees cover the amenity center operations and common area maintenance.
Schools
Arbor Greene is zoned for the New Tampa school cluster: Turner Elementary School, Liberty Middle School, and Freedom High School. All three have consistently strong ratings in Hillsborough County. Freedom High School offers AP, dual enrollment, and JROTC programs. The New Tampa school zone is a primary reason buyers choose this area over other parts of Tampa, and it is a consistent conversation point when I work with families evaluating New Tampa communities.
Location and Commute
Arbor Greene is positioned at the north end of Hillsborough County near the Pasco County line. This means it is well-positioned for commuters heading to Wesley Chapel employment centers (15-20 minutes to the I-75/SR-56 area) or to USF, Moffitt Cancer Center, and the New Tampa medical corridor (15-20 minutes). Downtown Tampa is 30-45 minutes depending on traffic via I-75 south or Bruce B. Downs. Tampa Premium Outlets and Wiregrass Mall in Wesley Chapel are 15-20 minutes away.
The proximity to the Pasco County line gives Arbor Greene access to Pasco retail and dining without the Pasco commute, which is one of the things buyers in this area appreciate. Publix, restaurants, and services along Bruce B. Downs and in the Wesley Chapel commercial corridors are easily accessible.
What to Know Before You Buy
Arbor Greene is a resale-only community, so inspections are important. Homes in the 1998-2008 construction range may have original tile roofs approaching the end of their rated lifespan, original HVAC systems, and original appliances. Get a thorough inspection and be specific about roof age and HVAC service history. Some sections within Arbor Greene also have CDD fees in addition to HOA dues, so confirm the full monthly community cost for any specific home before committing.
The guard gate and community security are maintained 24 hours a day. The gate process means visitor access requires registration with the gatehouse, which is a normal adjustment for buyers coming from non-gated neighborhoods.
