New Construction Homes in Land O' Lakes, FL
Land O' Lakes has active new construction in Bexley, Connerton, and the large Angeline development along SR-52, with DR Horton, Lennar, Meritage, Homes by WestBay, and Taylor Morrison all building. Base price is rarely what you pay. Upgrades, lot premiums, and CDD fees are where the real number lives.
Where the building is happening
Bexley
Still adding phases, with WestBay, ICI, and Taylor Morrison in the newer sections. Roughly $475K to $750K and up. You are buying the amenities as much as the house: trails, pools, the cafe, and the school zone.
Angeline, along SR-52
One of the biggest developments in the region, with a build-out measured in years rather than months. Worth understanding what that means before you buy early: you get first pick of homesites and you also get construction traffic outside your window for a while.
Connerton
New sections at friendlier price points. A good fit if you want a house nobody has lived in without paying the Bexley premium.
What the model home is not telling you
Everything you love in the model is an upgrade. The floors, the backsplash, the trim package, the lighting, the built-ins. Model homes are commonly $50K to $150K above base, and they are built to make base feel like a mistake. Ask the rep to separate base price from upgrade cost on the exact home you are looking at, then look at the two numbers side by side.
Lot premiums are the other one. A conservation view or a cul-de-sac can add $15K to $60K before you have picked a single finish.
Things worth knowing before you sign
- The builder contract protects the builder. That is what it is for. Completion dates, change orders, deposits, and dispute terms are all written in their favor. Have someone read it who is not being paid by them.
- Get an independent inspection anyway. Brand new does not mean flawless. Inspectors find missed flashing, HVAC problems, and drainage issues on new builds constantly, and it is far easier to fix before closing.
- Most of these communities carry CDD fees. Budget $1,000 to $3,500 a year on top of taxes.
- Builder incentives are usually in financing, not price. They will rarely cut the price, because that resets comps for the whole community. They will happily buy down your rate or cover closing costs through their lender.
