Weston Oaks Apartments Florida is an income-restricted rental community in Holiday, FL, offering 200 units under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program at the 60% Area Median Income level. The property includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans and is managed by Highmark Residential.
The community is located at 1251 Weston Oaks Drive, Holiday, FL 34691. The leasing office can be reached at 727-334-0493. Holiday is an unincorporated community in Pasco County, roughly 30 miles north of Tampa along the Gulf Coast. This is not the city of Weston in Broward County, which is a common point of confusion when searching for this property online.
Weston Oaks contains 200 total units: 40 one-bedroom, 96 two-bedroom, and 64 three-bedroom. Two-bedroom layouts make up nearly half the community. All units fall under LIHTC income restrictions, meaning applicants must meet household income thresholds before signing a lease.
Weston Oaks offers three floor plan types. Rents and square footage break down as follows:
1 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom: 651 sq ft, starting at $1,219/month (as of 2025-2026 leasing data). This is the smallest layout and the least available, with only 40 units in the community.
2 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom: 926 sq ft, starting at $1,200/month (as of 2025-2026 leasing data). The two-bedroom starts lower than the one-bedroom. This reflects how LIHTC rent caps are calculated by bedroom count and local AMI thresholds, not by unit square footage. It is not a pricing error.
3 Bedroom / 2 Bathroom: 1,089 sq ft, starting at $1,400/month (as of 2025-2026 leasing data). These are the largest units on property and account for 64 of the 200 total apartments.
All rents are set under federal LIHTC program rules and may adjust annually based on updated AMI figures published by HUD. For a broader look at what renters actually pay beyond listed rent, see brightplace's breakdown of your true monthly cost.

Households at Weston Oaks must earn no more than 60% of the Pasco County Area Median Income to qualify, with a four-person household capped at $42,180 annually (HUD 2025 AMI).
LIHTC (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) is a federal program that gives tax credits to developers who build or renovate apartments and reserve them for renters below certain income thresholds. AMI (Area Median Income) is the midpoint household income for a given county or metro area, calculated and published annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Weston Oaks operates at the 60% AMI level, meaning tenants must earn no more than 60% of the Pasco County area median income to qualify.
Current income limits for 60% AMI in Pasco County (HUD 2025):
These limits are based on gross household income and apply to all adult members listed on the lease. Income is verified at initial move-in and again each year through an annual recertification process. If your income rises above the threshold after move-in, you may still retain your unit under certain LIHTC rules, but the specifics depend on how far above the limit your household falls.
One important distinction: LIHTC is not the same as Section 8 (Housing Choice Vouchers). Section 8 is a direct rental subsidy where the government pays a portion of your rent to the landlord. LIHTC sets maximum rent amounts for the unit itself, but the tenant pays the full listed rent. You can hold a Section 8 voucher and apply it at a LIHTC property if the landlord accepts vouchers, but the two programs operate independently.
Weston Oaks includes a swimming pool, fitness center, playground, basketball court, and a deposit alternative program among its shared amenities.
Community amenities: swimming pool with sun decks, wading pool, poolside Wi-Fi, picnic and BBQ areas, playground, basketball court, fitness center, car care center, community center, business center with computer access, resident events, online rent payment portal, and a deposit alternative program.
In-unit features: fully equipped kitchen, double stainless steel sink, kitchen pantry, washer/dryer connections, large walk-in closets, energy-efficient HVAC system, impact-resistant windows, ceiling fans, mini-blinds, and marble window sills.
Pet policy: Weston Oaks allows up to two pets (cats and dogs), making it one of the more flexible options among pet-friendly houses for rent in the Tampa Bay area. The first pet requires a $300 non-refundable fee, and the second requires a $200 non-refundable fee (as of 2025-2026 leasing data). Monthly pet rent is $20 per pet, with a $100 refundable deposit (as of 2025-2026 leasing data). There are no breed restrictions, though the property reserves the right to decline animals with a documented history of aggression or biting.
Holiday is an unincorporated community in Pasco County, situated roughly 30 miles north of downtown Tampa and about 10 miles north of Clearwater. The area sits along Florida's Gulf Coast, with nearby access to Anclote Key Preserve State Park for beaches and kayaking.
US-19 is the primary commercial corridor, running north-south through Holiday and connecting residents to grocery stores, medical offices, restaurants, and retail. The area is car-dependent; public transit options are limited, and most commuters use US-19 to reach employment centers across the Tampa Bay region.
The immediate surroundings are residential, with neighborhood parks and a mix of single-family homes and apartment communities. For renters moving from outside the area, brightplace's Tampa renters orientation provides broader context on the metro.
Applying to Weston Oaks begins through the property's online portal, hosted by Highmark Residential through the SecureCafe platform. The process is entirely digital for initial submissions.
All adult household members must provide income documentation. This typically includes recent pay stubs, tax returns, and employer verification letters.

After move-in, residents go through annual recertification to confirm continued eligibility. Weston Oaks also offers a deposit alternative for renters who prefer not to pay a traditional security deposit upfront, an option also explored in brightplace's guide to homes for rent with no deposit.

Rent at a 60% AMI property like Weston Oaks is capped by HUD formulas tied to area income data. Market rate apartments have no such cap and price units based on demand, location, and amenities. In many Florida markets, 60% AMI rents run noticeably below comparable market rate units, though the gap varies by county and year.
