Wooded half-acre lots, an easy pace, and a location tucked into the quiet heart of Citrus Hills — here's everything a buyer should know before making an offer.
Cambridge Greens sits south of Norvell Bryant Highway (CR-486), about five miles northwest of Inverness and an easy hour north of Tampa. It's a deed-restricted community of roughly 400 homes spread across half-acre lots and larger — most of them wooded, which gives the streets a shaded, private feel you don't get in the newer, tighter sections of the community.
Homes here run the full range from established 1989 construction to brand-new builds, so a buyer can find a mature, move-in-ready home under a canopy of oaks or a vacant lot to build on. Anything built after March 2002 has to be at least 1,500 square feet of living area, which keeps the housing stock substantial. There's no private clubhouse or pool inside Cambridge Greens itself — it's a quiet residential village — but residents are minutes from the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club and everything the larger community offers.
If you want established Citrus Hills — big wooded lots, real space between neighbors, and a short drive to the club — Cambridge Greens is one of the first places we show people.

Here's something most buyers — and plenty of agents — don't realize: "Cambridge Greens" is actually two legally separate property owners associations. Everyone calls the whole area Cambridge Greens, but your specific home falls under one of two POAs, each with its own board, dues, and documents. The dividing line runs roughly along N. Lafayette Way / E. Liberty Street — the original Cambridge Greens to the northwest, the First Addition to the south and southeast. Knowing which one a home is in matters for dues and for pulling the right covenants. We sort this out for every client before they write an offer.
~$70.00 / year (historical — confirm current)
$130.00 / year (2026, due Jan 1)
We took the community's official plat and shaded it along the real boundary — no guesswork. Section Two, the First Addition (everything inside the POA's yellow line) is shaded orange; Section One, the original Cambridge Greens (outside it) is green. Tap the map to view it full size.

Cambridge Greens is the first Citrus Hills village converting from septic to central county sewer. It's a long-term win for the community — but every home sits at a different point in the process. Some homes have already paid in full and connected; others still have all of it ahead of them. Two houses that look identical can carry very different costs, and sorting that out is exactly where a local expert earns their keep.
There's also a cost most buyers never see coming: on an existing home, connecting to sewer means hiring a plumber to properly abandon and decommission the old septic system. On a vacant lot it's simpler — you'll pay the special assessment now and a connection fee later when you build, with no septic to remove.
Knowing exactly where a home stands in this conversion can save a buyer up to $10,000 in unexpected added costs — which is precisely the kind of thing an experienced member of the Citrus Hills Home Team is here to catch.
Cambridge Greens is deed-restricted, which is what keeps it looking the way it does. The full covenants run long (and an architectural board reviews exterior changes), but here are the highlights buyers ask about most:
Rules differ slightly between the two associations and change over time — we'll pull the current, recorded documents for the exact home you're considering.
Here's something almost no listing explains — and in Citrus Hills it really matters. Whether a home is tied to the Citrus Hills Golf & Country Club is decided by the home, not by the buyer. In Cambridge Greens — like most established villages outside Terra Vista and Brentwood — a home falls into one of three categories, and we tell you which one before you fall in love with it.
Most homes here carry no club membership at all — no club dues, no obligation. You enjoy the community as a resident. And as you'll see, a membership can't simply be added on later.
Some long-time homes hold a membership opened years ago that isn't tied to the deed. It's entirely the owner's choice — keep it or let it go. Buy one of these and that choice becomes yours, with no long-term commitment.
A permanent membership recorded on the deed for the life of the home — like the POA, it stays with the property in perpetuity. It carries an ongoing club commitment, but it also guarantees a seat at a club that, for almost every other home, is closed.
Why a charter membership is rare — and quietly valuable: you can't just join the Citrus Hills club because you bought a home here. The only way a brand-new membership is ever created is when the Citrus Hills builder puts up a new home — and if that buyer chooses to add one, it's recorded on the deed for good. So a home that already carries a membership holds access most buyers can't get at any price. We'll tell you exactly which kind a home has — and what it means for you — before you write an offer.
And good news whether or not a home comes with a membership: the Citrus Hills golf courses are semi-private, so you're welcome to play them even without joining. Spend time here and you'll naturally get to know members, too — who can host you as their guest for a meal at one of the club's restaurants.
Cambridge Greens is one of the tightest, most dependable markets in Citrus Hills — very little ever sits unsold. So far this year, every listing that hit the market sold (a 0% failure rate, rare for the area), on barely a month of standing inventory.
With supply that thin, the right home moves quickly — and pricing it (or recognizing a fair one as a buyer) takes someone who knows what the last several Cambridge Greens homes actually closed at, lot by lot. That's us.

The First Addition POA's 2026 assessment is $130.00 per lot, due January 1. The original Cambridge Greens POA has historically run around $70.00/year (confirm the current figure). Both are modest annual fees covering common-area upkeep, management, and legal costs.
Cambridge Greens was platted in two phases. The original POA covers 288 lots; the legally separate First Addition POA (Plat Book 14, Pages 66–70) covers the streets to the south and southeast. Locals call it all "Cambridge Greens," but each home falls under one association or the other.
It varies a lot by home. Costs can include up to a ~$6,000 special assessment, a county connection fee, county capacity and facility charges, and — on an existing home — hiring a plumber to abandon the old septic system. A $4,000 state grant and 10-year financing soften it, and some homes have already paid most or all of it. Because the gap between homes can run to $10,000, we confirm exactly where a specific home stands before you buy.
The covenants require residential use but don't include an explicit lease or short-term-rental ban, which is unusual for the area. Always confirm the current policy with the association before relying on it.
No. Most Cambridge Greens homes carry no membership, and one can't simply be added — new memberships are only created when the builder constructs a new home. A few homes hold a voluntary membership (optional, cancelable) or a permanent charter membership that conveys with the house. And either way, the Citrus Hills golf courses are semi-private, so you can play them without a membership; as a member's guest, you can also dine at the club's restaurants. We'll tell you which kind a specific home has before you offer.
