This one is closer to launching than most
The district is set up and the corridor around it is moving fast. When there is finally something to see, the first release is where the most homesites are. Add your name, email and phone and you will hear when a builder is named or a phase is priced, and be registered as represented before your first visit.
Why this one is worth watching
Getting in early in one of Tampa Bay's hottest corridors
Wesley Chapel and the surrounding Pasco County corridor have been one of the busiest growth stories in Florida, and Kenton sits right in the middle of it, inside the Connected City planning area east of Interstate 75. This is where large master-planned communities have been going up one after another, drawing buyers who want new homes, strong schools and quick access to Tampa jobs.
A community of about 800 homes is a big one, and big communities open in phases. The earliest buyers into a first phase tend to see the most homesites, the widest choice of floor plans and the fewest premiums to compete with, before word gets out and a waitlist forms. Being on the record before a builder is even named is how you land in that first phase.
Being clear about what this is and is not: the county has approved the plan, but nothing is for sale here yet. There is no builder named, no model home, no price sheet and no floor plan library. That gap, between a community being approved and homes actually going on sale, is exactly the window this list is built for.
What is coming
A master-planned community in Connected City
The plan is for about 800 homes on roughly 150 acres of unincorporated Pasco County, inside the Connected City corridor. It is a master-planned residential community, the kind of project that is built in phases over several years rather than all at once, which is why the first release is worth watching for.
You will also see this community called Kenton Pointe. Both names point at the same land, and because a consumer name can still be settling in, we track the property by its location and district as well as by both versions of the name, so a rename does not cause anyone on the list to miss the launch.
What has not been released: a builder, the final mix of home styles, floor plans and sizes, the amenity lineup, a phasing schedule, a model date and pricing. Those come from the builder at launch, and the day they land for Kenton they go out to this list.
The area
Living in Wesley Chapel
Wesley Chapel is a booming suburb in southern Pasco County, north of Tampa along the Interstate 75 corridor. Two decades ago it was mostly rural land; today it is one of the most active master-planned-community markets in Tampa Bay, the kind of place buyers move to for a new home, good schools and an easy run into the city.
Shopping and dining are a big part of the draw. The Shops at Wiregrass, an open-air mall, and Tampa Premium Outlets sit at the heart of Wesley Chapel, surrounded by the restaurants, grocery anchors and everyday retail that a fast-growing suburb pulls in. Healthcare has followed the rooftops, with hospitals and medical offices close at hand, and the area is dotted with parks, trails and the amenity centers that its newer neighborhoods are known for.
Schools are a major reason families choose this part of Pasco County. Wesley Chapel has a strong reputation for its public schools, and school quality is one of the first things relocating buyers ask about when they compare it with other Tampa suburbs.
Getting around is straightforward. Interstate 75 runs right along the corridor, giving a direct commute south into Tampa and its job centers, airport and sports and entertainment, and easy trips to the Gulf beaches on a day off. The Connected City corridor that this community sits in is a state-recognized planning area built specifically to guide this kind of growth, with a framework for new homes, jobs and amenities as the area fills in.
The combination, a genuine suburban lifestyle with a major metro and the coast both within reach, is what keeps demand strong here, and it is a large part of the appeal of getting into a community like Kenton early, before a builder's first release sets the tone on price.
Costs to plan for
What to budget for beyond the sticker price
The site is county land with no municipality over it, so a buyer would pay Pasco County millage with no separate city tax on top. That is a real advantage, but there are two other recurring line items worth planning for at a community like this, and they are easy to overlook when you are focused on the home price.
The first is the community development district assessment. This community sits inside a special district that funds its roads and utilities through bonds, repaid by an annual assessment that appears on your property tax notice, separate from and on top of your HOA dues, often for twenty to thirty years. The second is ordinary HOA dues for the association that maintains the common areas and any amenities. Neither figure has been published for Kenton yet.
When pricing is released, ask for the estimated annual district assessment for your specific lot and the HOA dues alongside the home price, because two homes at the same sticker price can carry very different yearly costs depending on how those assessments land. We will surface both here as soon as they are on the record.
What you need to know
Buying new construction, the smart way
Whoever ends up building the homes at Kenton, the same rule applies: the person at the model's 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 transaction. You are allowed, and smart, to have your own representation, and in almost every case it costs you nothing, because the builder budgets 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 first visit. Tour or sign in alone and bring an agent later, and the builder can refuse to recognize them, and you lose your representation for that community. Get connected before you tour, have your agent register you, and let them read the contract and the addenda with you.
Subdiview is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any homebuilder, the developer, the community development district, or Pasco County. No homebuilder has been named for this community; the petitioner is identified here because it is the party of record in the county's published ordinance, which is a statement of fact about the public record and not a representation of any relationship. Community names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. Subdiview is operated by a real estate broker licensed in Illinois. We are not your agent, we do not represent you, and we perform no real estate brokerage services in this state. No one at Subdiview is licensed in this state. If you join an interest list, your information is referred to a real estate professional licensed in the state where the property is located, who will contact you directly. We are compensated by that professional's brokerage, not by you.

Questions and answers
Kenton FAQ
What is Kenton?
Kenton is a new master-planned residential community of about 800 homes planned in unincorporated Pasco County, in the fast-growing Connected City corridor near Wesley Chapel. The county has approved the plan, but nothing has been built, no builder has been named, and nothing is for sale. You will also see it called Kenton Pointe. This page exists so you can hear the moment it opens.
Who is building the homes?
No homebuilder has been named yet. The land is controlled by a development company that plans the community and carries the approvals, and a builder announcement is the natural next milestone on a project this size. That is exactly what the interest list on this page is built to catch, so you hear it before it is advertised.
Is the plan approved?
Yes. The county has approved the master plan for this community and set up the special district that funds its infrastructure, so the entitlement work is done. What has not happened yet is the part buyers see: a builder, a model home, floor plans and pricing. This page tracks it and updates the day any of that is released.
What kind of homes will these be?
The final mix has not been announced. Master-planned communities of this size are often built in phases with more than one home style, and the exact blend of product here will be set by the builder when the community launches. Until then, treat any specific description of the homes you see elsewhere as a guess. The day the real product and pricing are posted for Kenton, they go out to this list.
Will I pay a community development district assessment?
Almost certainly. A community development district is a special-purpose unit of local government that issues bonds to fund infrastructure and repays them through an annual assessment on every property inside its boundary. That assessment appears on your property tax notice, is separate from and on top of HOA dues, and typically runs twenty to thirty years. This district already exists for Kenton. Ask for the estimated annual amount for your specific lot at contract, and ask whether it can be paid off in full at closing.
Is it Kenton or Kenton Pointe?
The public record calls it Kenton. Consumer-facing coverage has started calling it Kenton Pointe, and both point at the same land. When a marketing name appears before it is locked in, a community can end up going to market under either version. We track this property by its location and district as well as by both names, so whichever one wins, the people on our list still get told.
What is it like to live in Wesley Chapel?
Wesley Chapel is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Tampa Bay area, in southern Pasco County just off Interstate 75. Over the last two decades it has grown from rural land into a hub of master-planned communities, big shopping and highly regarded schools, while keeping an easy commute into Tampa. The Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets anchor the retail, there are hospitals and medical offices close by, and the area is known for its family feel, its parks and its newer amenity-rich neighborhoods. For a lot of buyers it is the sweet spot between Tampa jobs and suburban space.
Does it cost anything to join the interest list?
No. Joining is free, it does not obligate you to anything, and it does not create any brokerage relationship. When homes get close to release, a real estate professional licensed in Florida will reach out and can make sure you are properly represented before you ever walk into a builder's sales office, which is the single most valuable thing a buyer can line up in advance.
