New builds and a planned crystal lagoon in growing Sandal Key
The Sandal Key neighborhood is a planned community that features homes by KB Homes, D.R. Horton and Lennar. While it is still under construction, this community does have model homes open and ready to show. Several amenities are on the drawing board, including a lagoon, walking and cycling trails, a dog park, a playground and other open areas. Located near U.S. 19, shopping, dining and healthcare options are a short drive away in Brooksville and Spring Hill.
What buyers should know about homes, fees and flooding here
As of early 2026, D.R. Horton and KB Home are building single-family homes in the community. Lennar will add single-family homes and townhouses in the future, most notably a 55-plus active adult community on the southeast side. Houses are in a range of New Traditional styles with three to five bedrooms and a varying floorplans. Attached, two-car garages are standard.
