RIVERVIEW, FL — Pulte Homes has closed on land for four new communities, including one of the last developable tracts of land in Riverview, with the purchase of 197 acres for Spencer Glen off Simmons Loop.

As part of the new developments, Pulte Homes will introduce two new product lines in the Apollo Beach master-planned community, Waterset, and build three additional new communities in South Hillsborough County at Hawks Grove, Riversedge and Spencer Glen in Riverview.

South Hillsborough County is one of the fast-growing areas of the county.

“Location and convenient commutes are two of the most important factors for homebuyers,” said Pulte's West Florida Division President Sean Strickler. “Buyers want to live in South Hillsborough County because of its proximity to downtown Tampa, jobs and all the other conveniences and entertainment options Tampa Bay offers. That popularity, combined with difficulties with rezoning available land in Hillsborough County, also means there isn’t much land remaining. These communities have been highly sought after by developers and builders for years. We’re so pleased to be able to deliver our new home designs that will meet the needs of our prospective homebuyers.”

With a prime location approximately one mile from the Interstate 75/Big Bend Road interchange and U.S. 301, Spencer Glen will offer access to commuting corridors. Within a 3-mile radius, homeowners will find multiple retail centers that offer daily conveniences such as groceries, pharmacies, shopping and dining. Recreation areas such as the Alafia River, E.G. Simmons Regional Park, Little Manatee River State Park and Apollo Beach are all within a 15-minute drive.

Spencer Glen is zoned for Dolby Elementary and Eisenhower Middle. Sumner High School, one of the newest high schools in Hillsborough County, is just a mile away from the community.

When complete, Spencer Glen will feature 492 homes on 197 acres. The community’s resort-style amenities will offer a clubhouse, resort-style swimming pool and pickleball courts. A children’s playground, dog park and walking trails are also planned.

Located on Boyette Road, Hawks Grove will feature 26 homes in a boutique community with close proximity to FishHawk Ranch. FishHawk Town Center and other nearby conveniences include dining, shopping, fitness and entertainment outlets.

Hawks Grove schools include the A-rated Newsome High School. Much of the community’s perimeter will feature extensive landscaping with several mature oak trees, giving homeowners. All homes in the community will include a three-car garage, 18- by 18-inch tile flooring and quartz countertops. Hawks Grove will build on the success of Pulte Homes’ nearby Hawks Reserve and Hammock Crest communities.

Just a few miles northwest of Hawks Grove, PulteGroup will build Riversedge. Located off of Carr Road north of Boyette Road, each of the 29 homes in this boutique community will offer a natural setting and extra deep backyards. All backyards can accommodate a pool with select homes backing to mature trees.

Homes are expected to range from 1,850 to 3,416 square feet. Riversedge’s youngest residents will be zoned for Boyette Springs Elementary, Barrington Middle and Riverview High School.

In Apollo Beach, Pulte will purchase 113 40-foot and 60-foot lots from Brookfield Communities in the newest phase of the award-winning Waterset. This follows Pulte’s sold-out Villas at Waterset. In the upcoming phase, Pulte will offer single-family, new-construction homes.

Homeowners will have access to Waterset’s amenities, including 12 miles of trails for walking, running and biking, two fitness centers, three pools and a variety of sports courts. The community boasts more than 10 parks along with a clubhouse that houses a resort-style pool with a waterslide. It also includes The Landing Club and Café.

Floor plans for Spencer Grove, Hawks Grove, Riversedge and Waterset are coming soon.
