Location
Living on the SR-52 corridor near San Antonio, FL
Palmetto Ridge fronts State Road 52 just west of Bellamy Brothers Boulevard, in the same fast-growing stretch of eastern Pasco County that has pulled several large master-planned communities north out of Wesley Chapel over the last several years. Historic downtown San Antonio -- a small, old Florida town with a genuine Main Street -- is a few miles east, and Dade City, the Pasco County seat, is a short drive north.
South down SR-52 and onto Interstate 75, the Wesley Chapel corridor holds most of the area's day-to-day shopping, hospital care, and dining, putting AdventHealth Wesley Chapel and the Tampa Premium Outlets within about a 15-to-20 minute drive, with downtown Tampa itself roughly 30 miles further south on I-75.
Today this is still mostly open, rural-edge land -- pasture and recently entitled acreage -- which is exactly the profile of the last several master-planned communities that eventually filled in around Wesley Chapel. A Community Development District already exists here and its board is actively approving road and drainage work, which is a real signal of activity even with nothing yet built or marketed.
A CDD is a public financing tool, not a builder -- it's the mechanism a large project uses to bond and build its own roads, drainage, and other shared infrastructure ahead of homes going up, and the district's board here is a land-development entity rather than a national homebuilder. That's normal for a project at this stage, and it's also exactly why the interest list, not a builder's marketing page, is the way to actually follow it right now.

This is a different project from Village B nearby
Both Palmetto Ridge and Village B of the Villages of Pasadena Hills sit in the same general San Antonio / SR-52 corridor of eastern Pasco County, and neither one has a builder or a marketing presence yet, which makes them easy to conflate. They are separate projects on separate land, each with its own approval history and its own interest list.

Market context
What new construction costs near San Antonio
Palmetto Ridge has no price yet. Here is roughly what it will price into.
As of August 2026, active new-construction communities in the wider San Antonio / Wesley Chapel corridor -- most visibly the large Mirada master-planned community a few miles south, where six different national builders are currently selling -- are pricing single-family homes from roughly the mid-$200,000s up into the $500,000s and beyond, depending on builder, plan, and lot. Those are advertised base figures for base homesites and they move.
Two Florida-specific costs deserve attention here in particular. First, a Community Development District already exists for Palmetto Ridge specifically -- this isn't a maybe, the district was established years ago to fund the project's own roads and drainage -- so expect a CDD assessment on the eventual tax bill in addition to any HOA dues; the exact amount has not been published. Second, this property sits in unincorporated Pasco County, where the millage rate can differ meaningfully from nearby incorporated cities, so it's worth comparing the effective property tax rate directly once pricing exists. Florida has no state income tax.
What you need to know
Buying new construction, the smart way
No builder has been named for Palmetto Ridge yet, which means the most useful thing we can tell you right now is how to handle it once one is. The person at any builder's model-home sales desk works for the builder, not for you. They are usually helpful and usually honest, and they still represent the seller's side of the deal.
You're allowed, and it's smart, to bring your own representation, and in almost every case it costs you nothing extra, because builders typically budget a cooperating commission into the deal whether you bring an agent or not. The catch is timing: most builders require your agent to register you on your very first visit. Tour alone and try to add an agent later, and the builder can refuse to recognize them, and you lose your representation for that community for good.
So the move for a community this early -- infrastructure underway, no home construction yet -- is to get connected with a licensed agent before you ever set foot in a sales office, ideally the same week a builder is announced, and let that agent register you, read the contract and any addenda, and flag Florida-specific items like the CDD disclosure before you sign anything.

Questions and answers
Palmetto Ridge FAQ
What is Palmetto Ridge?
Palmetto Ridge is a large master-planned community entitled on State Road 52 in unincorporated Pasco County, near San Antonio, FL, just west of Bellamy Brothers Boulevard. Pasco County established a Community Development District for the roughly 1,500-acre property in 2022 to fund its roads, drainage, and other infrastructure, and the underlying plan calls for about 2,500 homes, a mix of single-family detached and single-family attached (townhome) product. No builder has been assigned, and there are no floor plans or prices yet.
Is this a 55+ community?
No. Palmetto Ridge is publicly described as "age-targeted" rather than age-restricted, which in practice means the design and amenities may appeal to a range of buyers including empty-nesters, but there is no age restriction on who can buy. This is a genuine mixed-age neighborhood, not a 55+ community.
Who is building the homes?
No homebuilder has been publicly assigned to Palmetto Ridge as of this writing. The Community Development District exists to finance shared infrastructure -- roads, drainage, and similar improvements -- ahead of home construction; it is a financing and infrastructure mechanism, not a homebuilder, and it does not itself sell homes.
Is the plan still 2,500 homes, or is that changing?
About 2,500 units is the figure from the district's original planning documents, and it's the only sourced number we're willing to publish as a headline. The district's own recent filings show its boundary being adjusted, which means the final footprint -- and with it, potentially the final unit count -- has not settled. Treat 2,500 as the baseline plan, not a locked-in final number, and expect us to update this page as the district's filings firm up.
When will homes actually be for sale?
The district's original petition sketched a multi-phase build-out running roughly from 2023 to 2029 for infrastructure, but that was always framed as an estimate, and no builder or sales timeline has been announced. A Community Development District moving dirt and building roads is a genuine signal that a project is alive, but it is not the same thing as homes being marketed.
Where is it exactly, and what's nearby?
Palmetto Ridge fronts State Road 52 just west of Bellamy Brothers Boulevard in unincorporated Pasco County. Historic downtown San Antonio is a few miles east, Dade City is a short drive north, and Interstate 75 and the Wesley Chapel retail corridor are roughly a 15-minute drive south. See the location table below for specifics.
What will it cost, and what should I know about the CDD?
No pricing exists yet for Palmetto Ridge itself; see the market context section below for what comparable new construction nearby is running. A Community Development District already exists for this property specifically -- that's a certainty, not a maybe -- which means whatever homes eventually sell here will very likely carry a CDD assessment on top of the annual property tax bill, in addition to any HOA dues. The exact assessment amount has not been published and won't be until home construction financing is finalized.
What schools would this fall under?
Pasco County Schools assigns by countywide attendance boundary, not by community name, and boundaries for large, still-developing land like this one can be redrawn before homes are built. Rather than guess an elementary, middle, or high school for this specific stretch of SR-52, confirm current zoning directly with the district's boundary locator once you have an address in hand.
How is this different from Village B / Villages of Pasadena Hills nearby?
They're both entitled but unbuilt communities in the same general San Antonio / SR-52 corridor of eastern Pasco County, which makes them easy to mix up, but they are separate projects on separate land with separate approval histories. Village B is one lettered village inside the much larger Villages of Pasadena Hills master development, sitting closer to the Curley Road corner. Palmetto Ridge is its own master-planned community with its own Community Development District, sitting along SR-52 near Bellamy Brothers Boulevard. If you're comparing the two, treat them as different addresses entirely.
Who is developing the land if there's no builder yet?
A Florida land-development company holds and is entitling the property and stood up the Community Development District that finances its infrastructure. That's a normal, and different, role from a homebuilder: the developer preps the land and the roads, then typically sells finished lots or land parcels to one or more national or regional homebuilders who actually construct and market houses. Which builder or builders that ends up being for Palmetto Ridge has not been announced.
Should I use my own agent when this launches?
Yes, and register with one before your first visit to any sales office once Palmetto Ridge or any other new-construction community here goes active. See the buyer guidance section below for why the timing matters.
