A former retirement community now attracting all ages
Within Florida’s Nature Coast, some 80 miles north of Tampa, sits the community of Beverly Hills. Businessman Sam Kellner purchased over 3,500 acres of former cattle land in the 1960s and developed it into what has eventually become a thriving community of 9,000.
“The rest of Florida has become really overpopulated,” says Rachel Mysliborski, a licensed real estate salesperson for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and a resident in the area for over six years. “So, not much of a worry about traffic congestion, and it's affordable. Those are the reasons it's become popular.”
Beverly Hills is a lush green community for as far as the eye can see.
Just outside Beverly Hills, Pete's Pier is the place to launch your boat for a day on the water.

Affordable options available
The median price for homes here is $245,000, less than the national median of $549,000. Mysliborski says most options available are single-family ranch-style. Land is also for sale, primarily along North Lecanto Highway. Mysliborski says the costs in Beverly Hills are a “big reason why families are able to start a life here.”

The Breakfast Station has been in Beverly Hills since 1995 and offers morning meals and lunch. New England Pastry and Cafe on Lecanto Highway offers more than baked goods, serving steaks and seafood.

Hot in the summer but protection from hurricanes
Summers in Beverly Hills are hot and muggy. Temperatures can be cooler in the winter, but this usually does not last long. Hurricanes can be a factor in Beverly Hills, but the hurricane activity in 2024 did not severely affect the area. Mysliborski also says that this area is one of the least risky parts of Florida in terms of hurricanes. “People in Beverly Hills like to call it ‘hurricane-proof,” Mysliborski says. “I don’t want to jinx it, but we seem to be extremely lucky when it comes to hurricanes.”
Crime
According to data from neighborhoodscout.com, Beverly Hills has lower violent and property crime rates than the rest of Florida.
