Neighborhood Details
This neighborhood is tailored for people who value a lifestyle-first approach. It’s a place where your weekends can easily oscillate between quiet poolside afternoons and local adventures. You’re just minutes from the nostalgic, brick-lined charm of Downtown Plant City—famous for its world-renowned Florida Strawberry Festival, local staples like Fred’s Market, and weekend hangouts at Keel Farms. When you want to scale up your weekend plans, seamless access to I-4 means you can head west to the bustling dining scene of Tampa or east to the theme parks of Orlando with absolute ease. Your Choices: Classic vs. Executive Series To ensure your home fits the exact vision of your future self, Southwind introduces two distinct collections situated on generous homesites, blending high-quality craftsmanship with thoughtful, functional design. The Classic Series: Perfect for those seeking effortless elegance and smart spaces, these homes are situated on 60-foot homesites with floor plans ranging from a comfortable 1,688 to 3,320 square feet. Features include versatile layouts like The Borrell and The Sparkman, offering up to 5 bedrooms and 3-car garages. The Executive Series: Designed for elevated luxury and maximum room to grow, this series features expansive floor plans on 75-foot homesites. Ranging from 2,214 to 3,453 square feet, options like The Bella Vista and The Maurice deliver grand structural choices and a premium sense of privacy. Neighborhood Financials & Amenities Part of the peace of mind that comes with Southwind is a clear, transparent financial layout. Buyers can enjoy premium neighborhood perks without the burden of unexpected, compounding fees. CDD Fees: $0. There are absolutely no Community Development District (CDD) fees here, which keeps your monthly overhead significantly lower than many other new construction communities in the region. HOA Fees: An affordable $1,796 annually (conveniently collected as $449 quarterly). This fee ensures the neighborhood's pristine look, gated security, and shared spaces are flawlessly maintained. The Amenity Collection: Private gated entry for enhanced peace of mind. Lakeside resort-style swimming pool and community cabana. Fully equipped playground and secure dog park. Stunning greenbelts, scenic pathways, and neighborhood ponds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the zoned public schools for children living in Southwind?

What is the main difference between the Classic and Executive Series?
The primary difference lies in the homesite size and overall square footage. The Classic Series features homes on 60-foot lots (ranging from 1,688 to 3,320 sq. ft.), which beautifully accommodate both single-story and two-story layouts. The Executive Series offers grander layouts on wider 75-foot lots (ranging from 2,214 to 3,453 sq. ft.), giving you extra breathing room and larger yard spaces.
Are there any hidden developer fees or infrastructure taxes?
Not at all. One of the biggest financial wins for Southwind is that it features no CDD fees. Unlike many master-planned Florida developments that tack on thousands in infrastructure taxes each year, your community expenses are kept transparent and predictable through a standard, low HOA fee.
What are the options for local shopping and everyday conveniences?
You don’t have to travel far for daily essentials. The neighborhood is incredibly car-dependent for commuting but sits just a short drive from local grocery hubs, medical facilities, and the unique boutiques of Downtown Plant City. For major retail excursions, Lakeland and the Greater Tampa area are just a quick hop down the interstate.
How can I tour the floor plans or reserve a specific homesite?
Because Southwind is currently in its highly anticipated "Coming Soon" phase, active construction models are finalizing and public sales have not officially opened. To secure early access to floor plans, receive exclusive updates on site releases, and get on the VIP waitlist with your Vicinity Specialist.
