Covington Park Apollo Beach FL: Homes, Prices, HOA & CDD

By Linda Reynolds, Broker, Reynolds Realty Gulf Coast (License #BK3021695) · Updated November 2026

Covington Park is one of the larger established neighborhoods in Apollo Beach. It was developed in the early 2000s as a master plan with several smaller sections, each with its own entrance, from villa enclaves to streets of larger one- and two-story homes. Builders included D.R. Horton, Inland Homes and Suarez. Because it is largely built out, nearly every sale here is a resale. For the bigger picture, see my Apollo Beach real estate guide.

What is Covington Park like?

Covington Park has tree-lined streets, sidewalks, ponds and walking trails. Residents share a clubhouse with a fitness center, two community pools, a splash pad, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, a dog park and open fields. The 2.3-acre Stone Garden Park adds landscaped lawns and stone walls. Doby Elementary School sits inside the community on Covington Garden Drive, and shopping and dining along Big Bend Road and US 41 are a few minutes away.

Covington Park HOA, CDD and schools

The master HOA fee is low, about $110 to $140 a year in recent listings, and covers the pools and recreation areas. Villa sections such as Surrey Park carry an added villa association fee, roughly $175 to $190 a month, that typically covers exterior and grounds care. Most homes also pay a Covington Park CDD assessment, about $1,400 to $2,150 a year, which appears on the property tax bill. Some parcels show no CDD, so check the tax bill for the exact home. Schools are assigned by Hillsborough County; homes have been zoned for Doby Elementary, Eisenhower Middle and East Bay High. Confirm zoning for any address. My guide to HOAs, CDDs and 55+ communities explains how these fees work.

What should you know before buying in Covington Park?

• Add the CDD to your monthly cost. A $2,000 CDD is about $165 a month on top of your mortgage, so compare the full tax bill, not just the HOA.
• Villa or single-family? Villas cost less to buy but carry a monthly villa fee. Read what that fee covers.
• Flood zone. Zones vary by section. Check the FEMA map and elevation certificate for the exact address. See my flood zone guide.
• Insurance. Many homes are 15 to 25 years old, so roof age matters to insurers. Get quotes early. See my homeowners insurance guide.
• Homestead exemption. If this will be your permanent home, file for homestead. Here is how homestead works in Hillsborough County.
