New Construction Homes in Citrus County

Citrus County is the quiet gem of the Tampa Bay extended market. Located about an hour north of Tampa along US-19 and the Suncoast Parkway, communities like Crystal River and Inverness offer a slower pace of life with easy access to nature — manatee tours, freshwater springs, and Gulf fishing. New construction here is dominated by small custom builders, though a few nationals have started entering the market. Home prices are significantly lower than the core Tampa Bay counties. A 2,000+ sq ft new-construction home with a generous lot can be had for under $350K in many communities. Retirees and remote workers are discovering Citrus County in growing numbers.
