A D.R. Horton community north of Palmetto in two parts that are not the same purchase. The county assesses 694 homes in Silverstone North, built 2021 to 2025, and 162 in Silverstone South, built 2019 and 2020. Both carry a district assessment, and they are different districts: North sits in the Willows CDD at roughly $1,507 to $1,916 a year, South in the Willow Hammock CDD at a flat $1,739. Amenities are straightforward rather than resort scale, a community pool, a playground and open space, which is what keeps the HOA near $136 a month.

Michael’s Take
CORRECTION: Silverstone North DOES carry a CDD. The Willows CDD is assessed on all 694 North homes at $1,507-$1,916 per the certified roll. Silverstone South is a separate district (Willow Hammock CDD, $1,739 flat). Confirm which phase and district a listing sits in.
How Silverstone compares
From the county records
$389,000
Median of 374 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $337,000 and $450,000.
71%
Of the 856 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Still delivering. 43% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $3,242 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Silverstone sits about 9% below the Palmetto median of $3,568, ranking 7 of the 22 Palmetto communities whose fees this site tracks.

2 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers Silverstone and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for Silverstone yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.
District documents
A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.
Willows Community Development District
Matched to Silverstone because: Manatee County’s certified roll records the name of the district assessing each parcel, and it records THIS district on this community. That is the county saying which district assesses these homes, which is stronger than a name match and finds districts no name search would reach. The district’s own audited financial report, linked here, confirms its legal name, its county and its creating ordinance.
Created on June 12, 2018 by Manatee County Ordinance 2018-028, under the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. Silverstone is assessed by TWO districts. The certified roll puts the 694 homes of Silverstone North in this one at roughly $1,507 to $1,916 a year, and the 162 homes of Silverstone South in Willow Hammock. A buyer needs to know which half an address is in. The auditor names Willow Land Holdings as a related party.

The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.
I'll send current listings and pricing in Silverstone, line up private showings, and give you an honest read on value, HOA/CDD costs, and resale before you commit, no pressure, no obligation.
Silverstone is built by D.R. Horton. Two things matter if you are buying new here. Register your agent on the FIRST visit: most builders pay the buyer-agent fee, but only if representation is declared before you tour, and afterwards it is usually too late. And a builder's contract is their contract, not the standard Florida form, so the deposit terms, the completion date and what happens if the build runs late are worth reading closely.
What kind of homes are in Silverstone?+
Silverstone offers single-family. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
What amenities does Silverstone have?+
Silverstone offers Community pool, Playground, Open space and walking areas, Gated entry. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
What have homes in Silverstone actually sold for?+
374 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Silverstone since October 2023, at a median of $389,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $337,000 and $450,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Manatee County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Silverstone year round?+
71% of the 856 matched residential units in Silverstone claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Manatee County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
Is Silverstone still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Silverstone was completed in 2025, across 1,051 platted parcels of which 856 carry a finished home. 43% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Silverstone is still being delivered: expect construction nearby, and the lot choice that comes with it. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does Silverstone have a CDD fee?+
Yes. Silverstone carries an estimated CDD assessment of $1,507 - $1,916, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $1,428 - $1,632 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
What flood zone is Silverstone in?+
The flood zone recorded for Silverstone is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
