It suits buyers who want a slower, more spacious side of Hudson while staying tied to the Hudson High School feeder path. You're about 47 minutes from Tampa International and 56 from downtown Tampa, so it works for commuters who'd rather not pay city prices. The mix of gated communities and larger lots gives it a settled, residential feel.

Compared to much of the Tampa metro, no — the median list price is $360,000 and homes actually sold over the past year came in at a median of $281,500. Prices run from $59,900 up past $1.6 million, so there's genuine range depending on what you're after. At an average of $226 per square foot, your dollar stretches further here than closer to the coast or the city.

The median home is about 1,742 square feet and the current median list price is $360,000, while the typical sale over the last 12 months closed at $281,500. With 43 active listings and everything from starter homes near $60,000 to properties above $1 million, you can see the full spread on the live map.

It's a measured market that favors prepared buyers — homes take a median of 62 days to sell and sellers are getting about 97% of their asking price. With 141 sales over the past year against 43 active listings, there's steady demand but enough inventory to negotiate. That 3% gap between list and sold price is real leverage if you come in informed.

Costs here are modest: the median HOA runs about $160 per month, and that's only in the communities that have one, while the median property tax is roughly $1,749 per year. If you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent sits around $1,800 a month. Always confirm the specific HOA and tax figures on any Hudson home you're considering, since they vary by community.
