HOA, CDD + due diligence

Verify the specific home—not just the community name.

HOA, CDD and lagoon charges depend on the neighborhood and home. Confirm current amounts directly from governing documents and the tax estimate.

  • Long buildout horizon
  • Future phases remain subject to change
  • Longer drive to central Tampa than Epperson

Dante’s quick take

Mirada makes a big first impression—the lagoon really is the centerpiece. If you’re comfortable being farther north and living through more buildout, it can be a fun option. I’d compare the drive and the full fee picture with Epperson before choosing between the two.
