Highland Lakes on Lake Tarpon

What Highland Lakes on Lake Tarpon does

Highland Lakes on Lake Tarpon is a 55+ senior residential community and homeowners association (Homeowners Association of Highland Lakes, Inc.), a Florida nonprofit corporation established in 1978 and located in Palm Harbor, Florida. The community offers residents an integrated active-adult lifestyle package centered on a 27-hole executive golf course (three 9-hole courses named Red, White, and Blue), a geothermal-heated 125,000-gallon Olympic-sized pool with spa, a rustic Lodge on Lake Tarpon with two 24-foot pontoon boats, tennis/pickleball/bocce/shuffleboard courts, an Arts & Crafts building, a lending library, billiards and cards rooms, and an RV/boat lot with launch ramp. The community has been twice named the #1 Senior development in the state of Florida.

The organization operates as a member-governed HOA with volunteer leadership supporting more than 75 (nearly 100) clubs and groups, an Activities Committee that plans social events, and a monthly resident newspaper (The Highlander). Its digital infrastructure consists of a website secured with SSL technology, a password-protected resident portal, and an optional address book for community members. The entity is managed externally by Affordable Computer Solutions for website operations.

The business model is a subscription-based recurring revenue structure: residents pay monthly HOA fees that include unlimited access to all amenities with no additional charges for amenity use. Membership is acquired through home ownership within the community, making the HOA a property-bound, non-portable membership organization. The entity employs 11-50 staff and operates exclusively from a single geographic location in Palm Harbor, serving a single customer segment: senior/retiree homeowners seeking active retirement living with recreational amenities and community engagement.
