Pasco County Real Estate, New Homes and Convenient Location

Pasco County is one of the fastest growing counties in the Tampa Bay area. While other parts of the Tampa area, such as Hillsborough County, have been built to capacity, there remain sizeable tracts of open land in the rolling hills of Pasco.

Not very long ago, residents of this county relied on Tampa and St. Pete to energize regional economy. Now there is energy being injected directly into Pasco County. There are many new construction projects including single family homes, as well as condos and town homes. The area is beautiful, rolling lake country and offers the opportunity to be developed with the best sustainable designs in mind.

Dade City is one of the quainter towns in Pasco. The city is small and attracts those looking for a less urban environment. Antique shops and small cafes characterize this typically American hometown. Dade City’s advantage, though, is its proximity to I-75 and route 41. For families relocating to the area, Pasco County offers a number of reputable primary and secondary schools.

Master Planned Communities

Connerton is one of the region’s newest and most unique master planned communities. Designed as a mixed use community, it is comprised of residences as well as commercial properties, all in the confines of an eco-friendly environment. There are natural buffer zones and miles of natural boardwalk throughout the development. Other amenities include extensive recreational facilities, restaurants and retail shops and business services.

Next to Connerton, The Groves Golf and Country Club is a unique over 55 community with nearly 200 acres of nature preserve and residences surrounded by Cypress preserves and orange groves. Located 20 minutes north of Tampa in Land o’ Lakes, this gated community includes full-equity membership to a country club and an 18-hole golf course designed by PGA tour professional Gary Koch. Enjoy large open spaces and exclusive amenities in a setting close to nature.  Villas and Single Family homes available from the mid 200’s.

Communities like Connerton, with an eye to the future, are becoming more and more popular in the Tampa Bay Area as suburban sprawl so prevalent a decade or so ago begins to prove its lack of sustainability. And many are winning accolades and prestigious awards for design and concept in this ecologically sensitive area.

Another award-winning eco-friendly master planned community is Wilderness Lake Preserve. Located in Land O’ Lakes, this community’s core value is Nature. Amenities include boathouse, spa, nature center and rustic lodge. There are more traditional activities, such as playgrounds, tennis courts and basketball courts as well. New homes can be had from $250,000 and up to over $1,000,000 depending on location and features.
