Two Metro Places master-planned communities make Top 50 sales list
Metro Development Group’s Mirada and Epperson master-planned communities led the Tampa metropolitan area in total new home sales through the first six months of 2023.
Mirada, located in the city of San Antonio, Florida, which recently opened the country’s largest human-made Lagoon, was listed at #33 with a 59 percent increase in year-over-year sales. Epperson, a master-planned community built in Wesley Chapel, Florida was #36 on the national list compiled by RCLCO.

It’s always a great time to look at new homes and with the lack of existing homes for sale in west-central Florida, buying a new house is more popular than ever in the region.

Besides, there are many clear benefits to a newly built home in a family-friendly neighborhood, which is why people are flocking to Mirada.

But you don’t have to leave Mirada to find things to do as they have numerous must-have amenities. Go swimming in the crystal clear Lagoon. Take a walk, run, bike, or even EV cart on miles of nature trails, or kick off your day at one of the fitness stations. Bring your dog to a community dog park or your kids to a tot lot playground. The top-notch amenities, community activities, in-home amenities, and nearby attractions create one of the best locations to buy a new house in Pasco County.

Your dream home is a MetroPlaces home

“It’s more than the number of bedrooms and kitchen appliances that buyers are asking their real estate agent to find them,” she said. “Other factors such as location, quality homes, innovative technology, and a wide range of amenities frequently rank high among the reasons homebuyers select our communities.”
The exceptional amenities and luxury facilities at both Mirada and Epperson make them a perfect home for everyone. From new families buying their first single-family home and wanting space to grow to retirees looking for a relaxing place to settle down, homebuyers find plenty of waterfront fun right in their own backyards.
