Search Cortona on the map

Cortona is a compact, gated pocket of Wesley Chapel where the pace stays quiet and the homes run a bit larger than the typical starter — median square footage sits around 2,578. It's the kind of place that reads residential first, with easy access to the bigger amenity-driven communities nearby like Epperson and Seven Oaks, and to schools including Wiregrass Ranch High School. Downtown Tampa is roughly 31 minutes out and Tampa International around 39, so a city commute stays realistic.

For buyers, this is a thin market and that matters. There are just 2 active listings right now, with a median list price of $662,500 and homes sitting a median of 112.5 days before selling. That slower pace gives you negotiating room — sellers over the past year got about 96% of asking — but it also means you should watch the live map closely and be ready to move when the right home in the broader Wesley Chapel market appears.

Cortona is a community in Wesley Chapel, Florida.

Cortona FAQs

Is Cortona a good place to live?+

It's a good fit if you want a small, gated neighborhood with roomier homes and a quiet residential feel rather than a big amenity campus. Assigned schools include Sand Pine Elementary, Dr. John Long Middle School, and Wiregrass Ranch High School, and downtown Tampa is about 31 minutes away. Larger amenity communities like Epperson and Seven Oaks are nearby if you want pools and trails without living in them.

Is Cortona expensive?+

It sits in the upper-mid range for Wesley Chapel, with a median list price of $662,500 and homes running about $260 per square foot. The tradeoff is size — the median home here is around 2,578 square feet, so you're paying for more space rather than a premium address. There's no $1M+ inventory active right now, so it stays below the luxury tier.

What do homes cost in Cortona?+

Current active listings range from $650,000 to $675,000, with a median list price of $662,500. Over the last 12 months four homes sold at a median of $656,250, so list and sold prices are tracking closely. At roughly $260 per square foot, most buyers here are shopping in the mid-$600s for a home around 2,500 square feet.

How is the market in Cortona?+

It's a slow, low-inventory market — only 2 homes are active and just 4 have sold in the past year. Homes take a median of 112.5 days to sell, which is patient by Wesley Chapel standards, and sellers average about 96% of their asking price. That combination gives a prepared buyer real room to negotiate when a listing does come up.

What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+

The HOA runs about $41 per month, which is modest for a gated community and reflects the smaller scale here versus amenity-heavy neighborhoods like Saddlebrook. Property taxes are the bigger line item, with a median around $12,096 per year. Budget for the tax figure early, since it's a meaningful part of the monthly cost at this price point.
