Thinking about retiring in Florida?

Discover why more and more retirees are choosing Citrus Hills, Florida — a master-planned community on the Nature Coast that blends luxury, affordability, and an active lifestyle.


A Prime Location on Florida’s Nature Coast

Nestled in Citrus County, Citrus Hills is just over an hour from both Tampa and Orlando, but it feels a world away. Surrounded by lush forests, crystal-clear springs, and the Gulf of Mexico, retirees enjoy nature, wildlife, and water recreation year-round.


Resort-Style Amenities Without the CDD Fees

Unlike some master-planned communities in Florida, Citrus Hills has no CDD (Community Development District) fees. Yet, it offers resort-style living with:

  • Bella Vita Spa & Fitness Center

  • Indoor and outdoor pools

  • Pickleball and tennis courts

  • Golf courses and simulator

  • Clubhouses, events, and more

***Davis Reserve will have a CDD fee. Davis Reserve is currently under construction.


Vibrant Social Life and Clubs for Every Interest

Retirement doesn’t mean slowing down. At Citrus Hills, it means dancing at live concerts, joining wine tastings, playing trivia, and enjoying over 50 active clubs and interest groups. Whether you're into art, fitness, card games, or social outings, you'll find your people here. Residents can enjoy:

  • Cooking Classes with Le Cordon Bleu Graduate

  • Live Concerts

  • Holiday Celebrations

  • Trivia Nights

  • Group Trips and Excursions

These events create a sense of community and make it easy for new residents to form friendships. Whether you're looking to join a club, participate in a fitness challenge, or simply enjoy a delicious meal with friends at Skyview Restaurant or The Grille, there’s always something happening.


Affordable Luxury with a Variety of Villages


Citrus Hills is made up of 14 unique villages, each offering a different lifestyle. From the gated elegance of Terra Vista to the expansive lots in Fairview Estates, there's a perfect fit for every retirement dream.


Homes for Every Budget — New and Resale

Buyers can choose from move-in-ready resale homes or customizable new construction. Many resale homes include deeded social memberships, upgraded landscaping, and mature trees. New homes offer warranties, modern finishes, and energy efficiency.


Pet-Friendly, Golf Cart Approved, and Built for Fun

This community is built for retirees who want to live life to the fullest. Golf carts are allowed in Terra Vista, the trails are walkable, the pools are heated, and yes — there's even a dog park. You can be as active or as relaxed as you want.


Is Citrus Hills Right for Your Retirement?

If you're looking for more than just a house in Florida — if you're looking for community, connection, and quality of life — then Citrus Hills might be your perfect fit.
