The big picture
​       ... with links


Medley's HOA 

Our Homeowners Association management was transferred from the builder to us residents in autumn 2024. The 5-member board and committees oversee the landscaping, irrigation, Medley gates, Villa roofs and the Salt Chime dog park for our 855 homes.  Open HOA Meetings are held on the second Tuesday each month in the Clubhouse.  Our 226 [Villas](townhomes) and 629 single family homes are billed monthly at different amounts based their included services.  As of March 1st, [Castle Group] provides HOA management and billing services. Their on site office hours are Mon-Fri 8:30-4:30.  Phone 800-337-5850.  The new HOA Website was launched May 1.


+ Southshore Bay Master HOA 

Medley is a subset of Southshore Bay Homeowners' Association, Inc. , that also includes the DR Horton homes around the lagoon.  That HOA is still pre-turnover (controlled by the developer Metro).  We pay $236.30 quarterly dues to them via Breeze (now rebranded as Kai.)  We have not found any public meeting schedule, but did find this website.

Medley Club

The [Medley Clubhouse], operated by True Club, is independent of our HOA.  Unlike the Metro Lagoon, the clubhouse is private to Medley residents.  We're billed $135.57 monthly for all of its amenities (clubhouse, pool, gym, pickleball, events, etc.)  Soon we homeowners will have the opportunity to purchase the clubhouse for continued private use.  

  • The seven member resident Clubhouse purchase Committee provided an update at the July 8  HOA meeting.
  • At the March 11 townhall, Castle Group presented anticipated financing options per home: one-time payment, or 5, 7, or 15 years financing.  The entire HOA community and board will vote on that decision in the near future.  

Our twin CDDs 

Medley residents are in one of two Community Development Districts (CDDs).  D.R. Horton's and Medley's homes north of Windy Grove are in the [Hidden Creek CDD].  Medley homes south are part of [Southshore Bay CDD].  Both CDDs  hold public in person & electronic meetings on the 2nd Monday of the month.  

Both CDD Budgets are being finalized between now and August 11 for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and are billed on our annual property tax bills.  Collectively, the CDDs include roads,  main gatehouse, its fountain, street lights, perimeter fences, other non-Medley gates, and water management.  Hidden Creek's CDD Board members are elected during official Hillsborough County elections.  (In 2026, 3 of 5  seats will be up for election.)  In contrast, Southshore Bay CDD's board members are appointed by the Developer.

  • Hidden Creek's Board. 
  • Southshore Bay's Board.
