Both are good choices in Citrus Hills, and the right one depends on your timing, the village you want and how much you want to choose for yourself. New homes are being built in Davis Reserve and Terra Vista, and CitrusCraft Homes builds on lots in the established villages. A resale gives you a finished home on a lot and street you can see today, in any village. If you want our team to represent you on a new home, tell us before your first visit to the sales center.

New homes are being built in three places: Davis Reserve, Terra Vista, and on individual lots in the established villages.
The developer's model pages list a long set of standard features, including "Water, sewer & permit fees included." As viewed September 29, 2026, the list also includes:
Standard features change, and each model and builder has its own list. Ask for the current list in writing for the exact home you are pricing, and ask what counts as an upgrade.
A resale home offers a finished house you can walk through today, on a lot and street you can judge for yourself, in any village of Citrus Hills. There is no build to wait for, so your move follows the closing date in your contract.
Resale also gives you the widest choice of settings. Lots run from half an acre in Meadows Estates and Oaks Estates to a full acre in Northridge, Fox Run and Emerald Estates. Associations run from villages with no mandatory association, such as Presidential Estates, to maintained villas and the Greenbriar condominiums across from the country club. The village pages describe each one.
Compare the whole picture, not only the price on the page. These are the points that most often decide it:
Association dues and club membership follow the lot and the deed, so they differ by address, not by whether the home is new or resale. Each village has its own association arrangement, and some have none that is mandatory.
Club membership needs a closer look. Homes in Terra Vista, Brentwood, Belmont Hills and part of Canterbury Lake Estates carry a membership with the deed. Most homes in the other villages do not, though some do, so never assume from the location. A new membership is created when the developer's builder, Citrus Hills Construction Company, builds the home and the buyer chooses it. If membership matters to you either way, settle that question before you choose a home or a builder. Our club membership guide explains the types.
Verify current figures and recorded documents with the association before you buy.
Tell us before your first visit to the sales center, or bring us with you. A builder's registration is made on the first visit, and the first registration is the one that counts. Signing up on a builder's website on your own counts as registering too.
If our registration for you is not in place first, we cannot represent you on that new home. One call to (352) 746-0744 before you go takes care of it, and we handle the registration for you.
We show you both and tell you plainly how they compare for your situation. Mark Casper, our Managing Broker, sold new homes for the developer from 2004 to 2009 before moving to resales, and our team has a working relationship with the developer today.
For a new home, we register you, walk the models with you and help you read what is included. For a build on your own lot, we find the lot in the village you want. For a resale, we know the villages street by street. If you have a home to sell first, start with selling in Citrus Hills, and for the community as a whole see living in Citrus Hills.
New homes are being built in Davis Reserve, the developer's newest gated 55+ neighborhood, and in Terra Vista, the gated master community inside Citrus Hills. CitrusCraft Homes also builds new homes on vacant lots in the established villages.
The developer says most new homes are completed in 9 to 12 months, according to its website as viewed September 29, 2026. Ask the builder for the current estimate on the specific home and lot, and ask whether any move-in-ready homes are available.
The developer advertises Davis Reserve in 2026 as priced from the $400,000s. Pricing for a specific model, lot and options comes from the developer. Call us at (352) 746-0744 before you visit and we will get current pricing and floor plans for you.
Yes, if your agent registers you before you register yourself. A builder's registration is made on your first visit to the sales center or when you first sign up on the builder's website. Tell the Citrus Hills Home Team before either one, or bring us with you on the first visit.
Yes. CitrusCraft Homes builds new homes on vacant lots in the established villages of Citrus Hills, at more accessible pricing. Our team finds the lot in the village you want and connects you with the builder.
It depends on the builder and the neighborhood. A new membership is created when Citrus Hills Construction Company, the developer's builder, builds the home and the buyer chooses it. Homes in Terra Vista, Brentwood and Belmont Hills carry a membership with the deed. Ask about membership before you choose a home or a builder.
The developer's model pages list a natural gas cooktop as standard and state that water, sewer and permit fees are included, as viewed September 29, 2026. Terra Vista and Davis Reserve have county water, public sewer and natural gas. In the established villages, utilities differ by village and by address.
