The roof is protected with Roof Max coating, extending its life and providing peace of mind. Add in a cost-saving deep-water well, and this home is truly turn-key. Highland Lakes is known as Tampa Bay’s best value in 55+ living. Residents enjoy free green fees on three private executive golf courses, plus pickleball, tennis, bocce, shuffleboard, 3 pools and beginner clinics to try something new.
