Timberly: Relaxed Residential Living in a Convenient Parrish Location

by Hunt Brothers Realty

Timberly is a small, established Parrish community offering 67 paired villas in a quiet setting off Old Tampa Road near U.S. 301. The official Timberly HOA describes the neighborhood as two cul-de-sacs with a heated community pool, ponds, wetlands and maintenance-assisted landscaping. Timberly currently has an HOA but no CDD, and the HOA assessment includes basic cable and internet along with certain landscaping services. With single-story villa designs, attached garages and a location convenient to everyday services and major roads, Timberly provides a distinctly different option from Parrish's larger new-construction and master-planned communities.

Quick Answers About Timberly Parrish

Where is Timberly in Parrish?

Timberly is located off Old Tampa Road near U.S. 301 in Parrish, Florida. The official HOA notes that the neighborhood is within approximately one mile of a variety of retail, medical and everyday services, while its location also provides relatively direct access toward Interstate 75.

How many homes are in Timberly?

The official Timberly HOA identifies 67 paired villas arranged along two cul-de-sacs. Its small scale is one of the clearest differences between Timberly and many of Parrish's larger residential developments.

What type of homes are in Timberly?

Timberly consists primarily of paired villa residences. Current property records show single-story designs, typically with attached two-car garages, screened or covered outdoor areas and two or three-bedroom configurations, although buyers should verify the specifications of each individual property.

Does Timberly have a community pool?

Yes. Timberly has a heated community swimming pool with restroom facilities. The HOA maintains the pool and provides access for owners, renters and their guests subject to current community rules.

Does Timberly have a CDD?

No CDD is currently reported by the Timberly HOA. Buyers should still review the specific property's current tax bill for all taxes and non-ad valorem assessments rather than relying solely on a general community description.

What does the Timberly HOA currently include?

The official HOA currently identifies the heated community pool, basic cable and internet service, and maintenance-assisted landscaping among the services covered by HOA dues. Current listings also reference maintenance of common grounds and certain exterior maintenance, but buyers should review the governing documents and current budget to determine exactly which responsibilities belong to the HOA and which remain with the homeowner.

Is Timberly gated?

No. Current community information does not identify Timberly as a gated neighborhood. Buyers who prioritize a gated Parrish community can compare Timberly with Forest Creek.

Is Timberly a 55+ community?

No. Current property and community records do not identify Timberly as an age-restricted 55+ community. Buyers should review current association documents for all occupancy and use provisions applicable to a specific property.

A Small Established Villa Community

Timberly's scale is central to understanding the neighborhood. According to the official Timberly Homeowners Association, the community consists of 67 paired villas located along two cul-de-sacs.

That makes Timberly substantially smaller than many of the master-planned communities that have shaped recent growth in Parrish. There is no large recreation campus, extensive trail network or collection of multiple residential villages.

Instead, Timberly offers an established villa setting with a community pool, mature landscaping, ponds and wetlands. The neighborhood is largely built out, making it primarily a resale market rather than a new-construction destination.

Buyers can compare Timberly with the broader selection of established neighborhoods and newer developments on Hunt Brothers Realty's Parrish real estate page.

What Are Timberly Villas Like?

Timberly's paired-villa format means two residences share a common building connection while each home is individually owned. Current property records identify fee-simple ownership on individual villas, but buyers should verify title, maintenance obligations and association responsibilities for the specific residence.

Recent Timberly listings show living areas commonly in the approximate 1,400 to 1,800-square-foot range, although larger examples exist and measurements should always be verified property by property.

Depending on the villa, buyers may encounter features such as:

Single-story living
Two or three-bedroom configurations
Attached two-car garages
Open or split-bedroom floor plans
Screened or covered lanais
Private courtyards in selected residences
Pond, wetland or wooded views at selected properties
Private swimming pools at some villas
Block construction
Sidewalk access within the neighborhood

These are examples from current and historical property records rather than universal Timberly specifications. Buyers should verify square footage, bedroom count, garage configuration, private pool features and improvements for the individual villa.

Timberly Was Primarily Developed Around the Turn of the Century

Current Manatee County and MLS-derived property records show Timberly residences dating primarily from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Examples include homes constructed in 1999, 2001 and 2002.

That construction period places Timberly among Parrish's established communities rather than the large wave of neighborhoods developed during the area's more recent expansion.

For buyers, an established villa can offer mature landscaping and an existing neighborhood environment, but property condition becomes particularly important. Roofs, HVAC systems, water heaters, plumbing, electrical components, windows, appliances and previous renovations can differ considerably between homes of similar age.

Buyers who prefer brand-new construction can compare Timberly with current Parrish new construction homes for sale.

The Heated Community Pool Is Timberly's Primary Shared Amenity

Timberly does not try to compete with Parrish communities offering large clubhouses, fitness centers, multiple sports courts and organized lifestyle programs. Its primary shared recreational feature is a heated community swimming pool.

The official HOA states that owners and renters may use the pool along with their guests, subject to current pool rules. The pool area includes restrooms and HOA-owned pool furniture, and access is controlled by keys provided to homeowners.

Current community information does not identify a clubhouse, fitness center, golf course, tennis facility or pickleball complex within Timberly.

For buyers who want a larger amenity package, nearby Parrish choices include Forest Creek, which offers a clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, dog parks and walking trails.

Ponds and Wetlands Add to Timberly's Setting

The official Timberly HOA specifically highlights the community's ponds and wetlands. These natural and water-management features help distinguish the neighborhood from a purely urban villa development.

Selected villas have views toward ponds, wooded areas or preserved open space. Buyers should remember that a pond view does not establish navigable waterfront access, private shoreline rights or permission for docks or other structures.

Questions about property boundaries, drainage easements, wetlands or permitted improvements should be verified through the survey, title records, HOA documents and applicable local or state authorities. A qualified surveyor, real estate attorney, engineer or other appropriate professional should be consulted when property-specific guidance is required.

Timberly Currently Has No CDD

The official Timberly HOA identifies the absence of a Community Development District as one of the neighborhood's distinguishing characteristics. Current MLS-derived property records also consistently report no CDD.

A CDD and an HOA are not the same thing. A Florida CDD is a special-purpose local government that can finance and maintain authorized community infrastructure, while an HOA is a private association responsible for the community's private covenants, rules and services.

Timberly has an HOA but currently reports no CDD. Buyers should nevertheless inspect the current property tax bill for the specific villa to identify all taxes and non-ad valorem assessments attached to that parcel.

What Does the Timberly HOA Fee Cover?

As of November 2026, the official Timberly HOA reports an assessment equivalent to $266.67 per month, paid as $800 quarterly. Association assessments can change, so buyers should treat this as a current snapshot rather than a permanent ownership cost.

The HOA currently identifies the following among the services supported by dues:

Heated community swimming pool
Basic cable television service
Internet service under the community's bulk agreement
Maintenance-assisted landscaping
Maintenance of designated common areas

Current MLS listings also describe certain structure or exterior maintenance as included, but buyers should not assume that every exterior component is an association responsibility. The official HOA's roof guidance, for example, makes clear that individual owners have responsibilities when replacing villa roofs.

Paired Villas Require Careful Review of Maintenance Responsibilities

The paired-villa design makes it particularly important to understand where an owner's responsibility ends and the association's responsibility begins.

The Timberly HOA's current homeowner guidance provides a useful example with roof replacement. Owners are responsible for following the community's covenants and architectural approval process when replacing a roof. Because adjoining villas share a connected roof form, the HOA recommends coordinating with the neighboring villa owner, although the association currently states that simultaneous replacement is recommended rather than required.

A buyer should therefore review responsibility for the roof, exterior walls, paint, landscaping, irrigation, driveways, windows, doors, insurance and other building components rather than relying on the phrase "maintenance-assisted."

Questions about association versus owner maintenance obligations should be resolved through the current declaration, amendments and HOA budget. Legal interpretation of those documents should be obtained from a qualified Florida real estate attorney when needed.

Timberly Offers a Convenient Old Tampa Road Location

Timberly's entrance is on Old Tampa Road near U.S. 301. The official HOA describes the community as being within approximately one mile of numerous retail services, medical facilities and service businesses.

That position can appeal to buyers who want an established Parrish neighborhood without living deep inside one of the area's larger master-planned developments. U.S. 301 provides an important local route, while Interstate 75 connects the broader Parrish area with destinations throughout Manatee County and the Tampa Bay and Sarasota regions.

Travel conditions vary considerably by time of day and continued regional development. Buyers with regular work, medical or other trips should test their actual routes during the times they expect to travel rather than relying on advertised drive times.

How Does Timberly Compare With Newer Parrish Communities?

Timberly offers a very different ownership experience from many of the newer developments attracting buyers to Parrish.

Consideration	Timberly	Many Newer Parrish Communities
Community Size	67 paired villas	Often hundreds or thousands of residences
Housing	Established paired villas	Single-family homes, villas and townhomes vary by community
Pool	Heated community pool	Often resort-style pools in amenity-focused communities
Clubhouse and Fitness	No full clubhouse or fitness center identified	Common in larger developments
CDD	No CDD currently reported	Varies by community
Landscaping	Maintenance-assisted landscaping included in current HOA structure	Owner or association responsibility varies
Setting	Two cul-de-sacs, ponds, wetlands and mature landscaping	Varies from compact subdivisions to large master-planned villages

Timberly vs. Forest Creek

Buyers interested in villa living may also compare Timberly with Forest Creek.

Forest Creek is a larger gated Neal Communities development containing both single-family homes and attached villas. Its amenity package includes a clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, dog parks and walking trails.

Timberly is much smaller and is not gated. Its shared recreation is centered on the heated pool, while the current HOA structure includes maintenance-assisted landscaping and basic cable and internet. The communities therefore appeal to different priorities despite both offering villa options.

Timberly vs. Twin Rivers

Twin Rivers represents an almost opposite Parrish housing choice. It is known for detached single-family homes, larger homesites and a more expansive residential layout near the Manatee River corridor.

Timberly offers smaller paired-villa homesites and maintenance-assisted landscaping. A buyer seeking less private yard maintenance may find Timberly more aligned with that goal, while someone prioritizing a larger parcel and detached-home setting may prefer Twin Rivers.

What Should Buyers Inspect in a Timberly Villa?

Because Timberly is an established community, buyers should evaluate the condition of the individual villa rather than making assumptions based on the neighborhood as a whole.

Important items can include:

Roof age and condition
Coordination issues associated with the adjoining villa roof
HVAC age and service history
Water heater
Plumbing and electrical systems
Windows and exterior doors
Previous renovations and permits
Private pool condition where applicable
Drainage and pond-adjacent conditions where applicable
Wind-mitigation features
Association versus homeowner maintenance responsibilities

Inspection findings should be evaluated with the appropriate licensed home inspector, contractor, engineer or other qualified professional before the buyer makes a decision. HOA maintenance coverage should also be confirmed independently, since an inspection issue is not necessarily an association responsibility.

Insurance Should Be Evaluated for the Individual Villa

Insurance can be particularly important when comparing established attached or paired-villa properties. Buyers should understand both their own insurance obligations and any insurance maintained by the association.

Roof age, construction characteristics, wind-mitigation features, replacement cost, prior claims and private pool features can affect underwriting. Flood risk should also be evaluated for the individual property rather than inferred from the neighborhood's ponds or wetlands.

Insurance availability, coverage and premiums can vary substantially by property. Buyers should obtain property-specific quotes and review the association's current insurance information and their own proposed coverage with a qualified Florida insurance professional before making a purchasing decision.

Additional Questions About Timberly

Is Timberly new construction?

No. Timberly is an established resale community, with current property records showing homes primarily from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Buyers interested in newly built homes can explore current Parrish new construction listings.

Does Timberly have sidewalks?

Current MLS property information identifies sidewalks within Timberly. Buyers should evaluate the specific walking routes that matter to them rather than assuming identical pedestrian infrastructure throughout the surrounding area.

Does Timberly have private pools?

Some individual Timberly villas have private swimming pools in addition to the neighborhood's heated community pool. A private pool is property-specific, so buyers should verify its permits, age, equipment, enclosure and condition.

Are pets allowed in Timberly?

Current MLS records show pets permitted subject to association restrictions. Buyers should review the latest Timberly HOA documents for current limits, rules and approval requirements rather than relying on an older listing.

Can Timberly villas be rented?

Current property records indicate that leasing is subject to restrictions, and historical MLS information has referenced minimum lease periods. Because rental provisions can be amended, buyers intending to lease a villa should obtain the current declaration and amendments directly from the HOA and have legal questions reviewed by a qualified Florida real estate attorney.

Does Timberly have golf, tennis or pickleball?

Current community information does not identify golf, tennis or pickleball facilities within Timberly. The neighborhood's primary recreational amenity is its heated community swimming pool.

Why might buyers compare Timberly with other Parrish neighborhoods?

Timberly combines a small community scale, paired-villa housing, a heated pool, maintenance-assisted landscaping and no currently reported CDD. Buyers can use the Hunt Brothers Realty community directory and Parrish real estate guide to compare that combination with larger homes, gated neighborhoods and newer master-planned communities.

Is Timberly a Good Fit for Your Parrish Home Search?

Timberly stands apart from many Parrish neighborhoods because it is both small and established. With only 67 paired villas on two cul-de-sacs, the community has a compact residential layout rather than the scale of a large master-planned development.

The heated pool provides shared recreation, while ponds, wetlands and mature landscaping contribute to the setting. Current HOA dues include basic cable and internet along with maintenance-assisted landscaping, and the official HOA currently reports no CDD.

Timberly may therefore appeal to buyers who prefer single-story villa living and reduced landscaping responsibility without paying for an extensive resort-style amenity package. Buyers wanting larger detached homes, extensive recreation facilities or brand-new construction will find substantially different options elsewhere in Parrish.
