Brookridge is a well-established, 24/7 guard-gated HOPA 55+ golf and clubhouse community of approximately 3,000 homes located at 7300 Brookridge Central Boulevard directly off State Road 50 (Cortez Boulevard) in Brooksville, Hernando County, Florida (ZIP 34613). Chartered in 1973 and governed by Brookridge Community Property Owners, Inc. (Florida Sunbiz Non-Profit Doc# 725198, Active), Brookridge stands out among Nature Coast manufactured and modular retirement communities because every homeowner owns their residential lot fee-simple—meaning there is zero monthly lot rent and full eligibility for real property homestead tax exemptions, paired with one of the lowest annual HOA/POA assessments in Central Florida.
Centered around the scenic 18-hole, par-70 championship golf course of the Brookridge Country Club (7350 Brookridge Central Blvd) and a 9,000+-square-foot community clubhouse, Brookridge offers active adults a 75,000-gallon solar- and gas-heated Olympic-size swimming pool, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, 16 shaded shuffleboard courts, bocce ball, horseshoe pits, a fitness exercise room, billiards and library lounges, an on-site RV and boat storage compound, and over 50 social clubs ranging from drama and line dancing to bingo and veterans' organizations. Because residents own their land outright in Hernando County (ZIP 34613), full-time homeowners qualify with Hernando County Property Appraiser John C. Emerson, CFA for the $50,000 Homestead Exemption, 3% Save Our Homes assessment cap, and the Additional $50,000 Senior Homestead Exemption (65+). Situated along the premier SR-50 medical corridor, Brookridge's front gate is just 1.5 miles east of HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital (11375 Cortez Blvd), 1 mile west of the Brooksville VA Outpatient Clinic (14540 Cortez Blvd), 2.5 miles west of the Suncoast Parkway (SR-589) and Suncoast Trail at Cortez Boulevard, and 4 miles west of Tampa General Hospital (TGH) Brooksville (17240 Cortez Blvd).
