Southshore Bay

A list of specific nearby hospitals, shops, schools and parks was not supplied for this project, so none are named here. Wimauma sits in southern Hillsborough County, and buyers should confirm the closest groceries, healthcare, schools and recreation with the builder or on a site visit.

The community's own mix of neighborhoods, including a 55+ active adult area, points to a range of lifestyles, from first-time buyers to downsizers. Ask the sales team which on-site features are planned or open.

Southshore Bay is reached from State Road 674, an east-west route across southern Hillsborough County. Interstate 75 is the major north-south highway serving the wider area and links to Tampa and the surrounding region. Drive times vary with traffic and route, so test the commute you would make most often before deciding.

Metro Development Group is the builder of Southshore Bay. Specific details on its track record are not included in the facts supplied here, so buyers should ask the sales team about the builder's previous communities, warranty terms and construction standards.

Buying new in Florida usually starts with registering interest, then choosing a home site or plan and signing a purchase contract. Deposits are often staged over time, for example at signing and at later construction milestones. The builder will confirm the exact structure for Southshore Bay.

Because homes here are built and occupied in phases, timing depends on the home you choose. Some homes may be further along than others, and closing happens when the home is complete and ready. Buying early in a release can mean a wider choice of lots, plans and options.

For new condominiums, Florida provides a 15-day rescission period under FS 718.503. That rule applies to condos only, and Southshore Bay is described as single-family homes, villas and townhomes, so it may not apply. Have a Florida real estate attorney review any contract.
