Citrus Springs Elementary School

It's a good fit if you want space, newer homes, and a quieter pace in central Citrus County. The zone has 222 active listings and saw 560 homes sell in the past year, so it's an established, moving market rather than a sleepy pocket. Families also benefit from nearby Central Ridge Elementary School and other local schools.

No — this is one of the more affordable parts of the county, with a median list price of $274,995 and listings ranging from $89,000 all the way up to $1,175,000. At an average of $179 per square foot, buyers get meaningful space for the money.

The median list price is $274,995 and the median sold price over the last 12 months was $265,000, so asking and closing prices track closely. Typical homes run about 1,587 sqft, and there are pricier options too — three active listings are priced above $1 million.

It's active but not frantic: 560 homes sold in the past year, sellers averaged 99% of asking, and the median listing takes about 60.5 days to go under contract. That gives buyers time to compare among the 222 Citrus Springs homes for sale without rushing.

Costs here are light — the median HOA is $157 per month and the median property tax is just $291 per year. If you're weighing renting versus buying, the median rent in the area runs about $1,870 per month.
