Quick answer: Harbour Isles is a gated community of about 450 single-family homes on the east side of US 41 in Apollo Beach, FL 33572, across from MiraBay and a few minutes from I-75. Homes were built mostly from about 2006 to 2015, many on larger lots around ponds and a freshwater lake. In 2026, homes have sold and listed from about $300,000 to $680,000. The HOA is only about $100 to $125 a year, but most homes pay a CDD of roughly $2,800 to $3,150 a year on the tax bill. It is not age-restricted.
Harbour Isles is known for space. Lots here are often a quarter acre or more, which is bigger than in many newer Apollo Beach communities, and floor plans run up to about 4,200 square feet. Many homes back up to ponds, and the community is built on roughly 339 acres around a stocked freshwater lake. Despite the name, this is a pond and lake community, not a boating community. Residents who own boats can use the community’s boat and RV storage. For the bigger picture, see my Apollo Beach real estate guide.

My guide to HOAs, CDDs and 55+ communities explains the fee questions to ask.
What should you know before buying in Harbour Isles?
- Look at the whole tax bill. The CDD adds roughly $230 to $260 a month, so the real cost is much higher than the low HOA suggests.
- Flood zone. Some homes here have shown flood zone AE. Ask for the elevation certificate and check flood insurance. See my South Hillsborough flood zone guide.
- Insurance. Get wind and flood quotes before you make an offer. See my homeowners insurance guide.
- Pond lots. Ask who maintains the pond bank and what you can build near it.
- Roof age. Many homes are 10 to 20 years old, so roof age matters for insurance.
- Homestead exemption. If this will be your permanent home, file for homestead. Here is how homestead works in Hillsborough County.
