You’ll find one-story ranch plans and big two-story homes with three to five bedrooms, many with private pools and some with three-car garages, on 55- and 60-foot lots. Many homes back up to ponds or wooded preserve, and the mature oaks give the neighborhood a shady, established feel.

Recent listings have ranged from roughly the high $300,000s to about $600,000, depending on size, pool, lot and updates.

Amenities, HOA and no CDD

Residents have a shady playground, a basketball court, and ponds and preserve areas where you’ll often spot wading birds. There’s no community pool, which helps keep dues low. HOA dues have run roughly $270 to $325 a quarter in recent listings, and there is no CDD, a real savings compared with many newer Parrish communities.
