Speeding up, Not Slowing Down

Somewhere around the third round of golf in a week that used to be reserved for meetings, most people stop calling it retirement and start calling it living. Add a sunset dinner with a view and a neighbor who saves you a spot at the Mah Jongg table, and the whole idea of slowing down starts to look more like speeding up. Villages of Citrus Hills, tucked between Crystal River and Inverness on Florida's Nature Coast, has spent years building a community around exactly that shift.

The homes here start in the $400s, with more than 30 floor plans to choose from and can be fully customized. Terra Vista, the neighborhood at the community's highest point, backs up to rolling hills and old oak trees, close enough to the Gulf that a Tuesday can turn into a kayak trip without much planning. Three championship golf courses, one nine-hole course, a tennis and pickleball setup that fills up most mornings, and a restaurant scene that runs from a sunset dinner at Skyview to drinks at the Tiki Bar round out the days. It's the kind of place that earns its billing as the "Premier Master-Planned Community on Florida's Nature Coast" without much exaggeration.

That combination, resort-style amenities married to genuinely custom homebuilding, is exactly what earned Villages of Citrus Hills their 2026 Best of Florida Award this year. For a community built around turning ordinary Tuesdays into golf-cart afternoons and long dinners with a view, it's recognition that fits the lifestyle it was designed to deliver.
