Master-planned community with golf, greenbelts and deed restrictions

Home to about 11,000 people as of the 2020 U.S. Census, Sugarmill Woods is a community that sits about 90 miles west of Orlando and 65 miles north of Tampa. About 52% of the community’s residents are 65 years or older. The community is home to nearly 2,000 acres of natural surroundings, and residents here enjoy the greenbelts that most homes back up to. “We have oak and pine trees,” says Gail Cooper, a Realtor with Key 1 Realty who resides in Sugarmill Woods. “They are majestic.” Deed restrictions keep the community pristine and organized, while two country clubs nearby offer residents fairways and greens to work on their game. Much of the community is above sea level, providing it with some protection from tropical storms.

The part of the population still in the workforce is employed at some of Citrus County’s largest employers, which include the DSK Group, Citrus Memorial Health Foundation and Tenet Health System Medical. “We are seeing a lot of younger people, in their 50s, coming here to start a second career,” Cooper says.
