Highland Forest is a small residential pocket on the Hernando County side of Spring Hill, where lots run generous and the pace stays low-key. Homes here tend toward real square footage — the median sits around 2,440 sqft — and neighbors like Seven Hills, Talavera, and Silverthorn put shopping, golf, and everyday errands within a short drive. Tampa International Airport is about 42 minutes south, so you get quiet without being cut off.
For buyers, this is a thin, patient market. Only two homes are active right now, listed from $350,000 to $699,900 with a median around $524,950, and homes here sit — median days on market is a long 357. Over the last year just nine homes sold, at a median of $285,000 and 96% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but you'll want to move decisively when the right one appears. Watch the live map closely, because inventory turns over slowly.
