My wife and I visited Citrus Springs Fl in July 2023. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how clean, upscale it seemed for central Florida and the plethora of amenities for the residence. Everything just felt really beautiful and yes there are million dollar homes there too. It felt safe and I would love to camp there one day.

I have been to Citrus Springs many times . Its a nice quiet place. But if you like a lot action you won't to live there.
I really like your videos! Thanks for all the information and for being sincere.
Thanks so much I appreciate you!
Thank you for showing and sharing. Your info is absolutely valuable. I love how you drive around and show real time driving from one location to the other. 💯👍🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for watching I appreciate you!
Crystal river is 15 minutes away also.
Thank you! Citrus County is on the top of my list to move to when I retire in the next couple of years...
i grew up there it was a nice place to spend my childhood. miss that place 😔😔 they tearing down all the pretty forests in my area
Because of people like this blogger.
Great video. It's really 5 reasons you Want to move to Citrus Springs. I moved here in 2020 from Hudson Valley NY and love it here. Originally was looking in Ocala but way to congested. Your right...Moshello's is great.
Thanks for watching
Looks nice to me I'm in Ohio
I've got a country retreat in Citrus County not far from Citrus Springs. It's nice to get away from Tampa Bay now and then, but it doesn't take long to get bored in Citrus County. I can't even get high-speed internet where I'm at and my neighbors are paying something like $160 a month for satellite internet. If you need to go to a hospital, I hope you can take the time to go to Ocala because I've heard too many bad things about the hospital in Inverness. Unless you are in one of the cities, emergency services might take a while to get to you. Since it's a place to get away from it all, it seems to be a haven for people who want to get away from it all for the wrong reasons.
As for restaurants, I like Stumpknockers on the river, Oscar Penn's in Inverness and the Front Porch Restaurant in Dunnellon.
I’m now convinced I want to buy property there thanks to this video lol
Let's get started! Email me at RyanFFowler@gmail.com
That's the problem right there, you're NOT an native Floridian, so absolutely you want to bring your way of life. To these rual towns where the people are completely find with a small town vibes. Don't California their Florida. Simple!
So much better here than Hernando Co! Night life can happen in Ocala or Inverness. Not to mention the weekend fun on the Gulf. As seniors, we have all the conveniences you need. I love our Hernando/Beverly Hills Publix!
Thanks for watching!
I just moved to Citrus Springs from NYC, and while it's a nice city, it's a little too boring for my taste. I'm looking to move more populated areas like Inverness or Ocala. I'm single, so nightlife is important to me.
Understandable, I’d be happy to help you out. Email me at RyanFFowler@gmail.com let’s get you to a place that better suits your needs.
Hello Ryan, Thanks for your time in making this video. I noticed that the house under construction in the video has no power. I didn't see any power poles nearby either. Does the county run the lines after the impact fees are paid ? Thanks , love the videos.
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. It's great that you're observant and curious about the construction process. The absence of power in a house under construction is quite common. Typically, the power lines and connections are installed by the local utility company after the necessary permits are obtained and fees, including impact fees, are paid.
The specific process and timing can vary depending on local regulations and the utility company in your area. In many cases, the builder or homeowner will work with the utility company to coordinate the installation of power lines and meters once the construction reaches a certain stage or is nearing completion.
It's essential to reach out to your local utility company or the county building department to get precise information on how and when power will be connected to a new construction project. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information for your specific location. Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your support!
Citris sounds a smidgen too laid back for us. What areas do you recommend looking into that are a minimum of one hour from the beach- west coast, close to a major airport, about probably a 30 min miles or so away. Somewhere that has resonable property tax rates. Just received our first property tax bill in Charlotte County and found out the rate is 1.17% so our bill was $4,000 on a home we paid 327,000 for. Also wanting an area that is not in a flood zone, with hopefully less Hurricanes than South Florida. Any thoughts of cities to look into.
Hey there! Maybe New Port Richey would be a nice option for you. If you'd like help finding a place please let me know: RyanFFowler@gmail.com
Inverness is 15 minutes away from beverly hills , where there is more shopping and restaurant and a winn dixie. Here is the facts = if u don't like living in the country area , rural areas STAY IN THE CITY !
You’re not lying!
This is basically a retirement community ,,, we like it this way or we wouldn't live here. You turned the WRONG way out of Walmart. 15 minutes to Crystal River, great tourist restaurants and the Gulf. You want 'action', move to Detroit. By the way,,, the house you showed (but didn't sell) would be great for having horses, bike riding and acerage.
We have land by Faith fellowship Church. Is there any building going on in that area, or plans to be built up? The roads are being taken over with vegetation like the I am Legend movie
No big developments that I'm aware of, but there are always one-off houses being built throughout Citrus Springs. Thanks for watching!
My wife's from citrus but we live in polk County currently 😢, can't wait to move out of this rat infested place!!, used to drive through town in 3 to 5 minutes, now depending on time of day it could take 20 or more!, we hope that this doesn't happen to you guys in citrus!, we're currently house shopping in the oklawaha area.
I can only hope people don't find out how cheaply and safely one can live in Citrus Springs. Please, let's stay as rural and remote as we can. Once the Northerners discover this place, there will be an invasion.
I have live in Citrus County for years, my wife grew up in this county.
The only problem we have is to many people and to many real estate agents.
We appreciate your long-standing connection to Citrus County and your input about the increased population and real estate activity. It's true that the county has been attracting more residents and real estate agents due to its charm and opportunities.

Your feedback is important to us, and we'll continue working hard to serve the community and address any concerns you may have. Thank you for being a part of Citrus County, and we look forward to assisting you with any real estate needs you may have in the future.
Lu can toe my guy. I enjoyed the vid.
A bit too rural for me. I want more of a suburbs feel with perhaps more shopping centers/restaurants.
I don’t see anything wrong with this. Come to Metro Atlanta for some road rage.
Most of citrus springs are suburban streets with quarter acre lots. Houses beside and behind you. That one he showed is just the first one being built on that street. Trust me they will have neighbors soon enough. That neighborhood has exploded with new homes in the past few years.
What is a good salary for Lecanto?

Try Bruce Kaufman as a builder. He also does custom homes.
Citrus Speings is beautiful! Shhhh don’t tell all the investors. They’re opening a huge mall there for a reason;)
What does it mean that Citrus Springs is deed restricted? And will that restriction run out in 2025 after 30 years?

Actually, Thank you for this video..Mom & I are thinking of buying land and move there....We definitely don't want the night life :-)
I’d love to help you find something that fits your needs. RyanFFowler@gmail.com
That's a shame the realtors cannot help you with those questions. That's why we hire a realtor, for guidance?
Hey there! Maybe New Port Richey would be a nice option for you. If you'd like help finding a place please let me know: RyanFFowler@gmail.com
planning to move there next year
Cool! Email me I can help RyanFFowler@gmail.com
Housing prices are low because the jobs/ wages are low. Unless you are paying cash forget about it.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that the relationship between job opportunities, wages, and housing prices can influence the real estate market. However, it's important to note that various factors contribute to housing prices, including supply and demand, interest rates, and local economic conditions.
While it's true that affordability is a concern for many, there are still options available for those interested in homeownership. Working with a knowledgeable real estate professional can help you navigate the market, explore financing options, and find properties that align with your budget and preferences.
If you have specific questions or concerns about the current real estate market or the home-buying process, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help provide information and guide you through the journey of finding the right home for your needs. You can reach me at RyanFFowler@gmail.com
Hi. ..is citrus springs a culturally diverse place ? Thanks ..just discovered your channel ,immediately subscribed,Love your content ❤
No
How often does citrus springs get hit with hurricanes and heavy storms? Looking to buy in Marion county, but looking at citrus county. Worries about storms. Just takes one……
It’s inland, the same as Ocala. Not bad.
Good morning! I love your video. Thank you for posting. We are moving to Citrus Springs in a new community called Timber Pines. The builder is Adams Homes. Are you familiar with the builder? Thank you.
Thanks for watching, yes very familiar with Adams.
@ryanfowlerFL are they a good builder? We love the Timber Pines community and want to live there.
@@misscat5878 yes, but i do recommend having a realtor on your side to help you negotiate terms and stand up for you if any issues arise during the process. I actually have a video coming out tomorrow that features Adams homes in that very neighborhood. Are you currently working with a realtor? Please email me at RyanFFowler@gmail.com or call me at 407-587-5294. I'd like to help you.
@@ryanfowlerFL I sent you an email...
Having a couple of good nail salons is important to me. Are there a few options?
Yes, there are a bunch of them. Thanks for watching :)
@@ryanfowlerFL 😁 💅
Yo!! I worked at Moschellos Pizza in citrus springs!!!! My first job!!!
Hell yeah
Bro stop telling people about our spot it’s getting crowded
Hey, im interested to buy a house there. Do u have info for it?
Yeah I’d be happy to help. Email me at ryanffowler@gmail.com and we can get started!
I was really scared as I am moving to Citrus Springs 🤣 I am moving there to be an hour from my family and I absolutely love the quiet rural life. I am actually really stoked about moving there lol I cannot wait to float down the river in an inner tube lol I am so stoked to try out Moschello's I am glad to know it's closed on Sunday's and Mondays. I look forward to getting it :D thanks for the top 5 recommended places to eat :D I am unable to drive but I been doing therapy and I am hoping to learn to be able to pick that back up but I don't really go out. I am a huge homebody haha I just want to go out and go to the Drive in theater. I really appreciate this advice though!
It's good to know about steering though, I had no idea that was even something that realtors could be fined over I am like you, I just need a good Mexican and pizza place and a Publix lol I move in around October 27th :D
Thanks for watching, I’m glad that I could help!
@@ryanfowlerFL You're welcome! 😄 The help is much appreciated!
Is there enough space in the back to build a pool? Is this lot on this house the same size as the one (same builder) you took us on a tour of the inside?
Hello! Yes, same builder same model as the house from the “new construction under $260,000 in central fl” video. Yes there is plenty of room for a pool also. These homes usually have quarter acre lots. Please email me at RyanFFowler@gmail.com if you’re interested I’d be happy to help you get into one.
Any golf courses in central Florida?
Yeah tons. Citrus springs had its own course.
Is it a good place to start a soulfood business? Like a food truck… && snakes?gators? Spiders??? Is it alot around
I would go to a soul food restaurant. I think it could be a good idea, we need some more unique restaurants around here. As long as you’re living in a house I wouldn’t worry about wild life, that would be more of a problem if you live in a tent in the woods!
No we wouldnt be interested in that type of food 😂 try elsewhere and yes there are snakes gators and spiders here
Will they ever make 491 from the new target all the way to 200 any better? And the trip down single lane 200 from 484 to 491 is insane! People either doing 35 or 75 in 45 any time of day, no passing anywhere safe and drivers are either disabled or drunk drugged or flat out low iq. Really hope they fix the connection before the toll road causes growth explosion. Growth will really excell if Republicans flee if elections dont go well.
My realtor told me that if I buy a home in Citrus County, be prepared to have my property taxes triple or quadruple from the original owner. Why??? Citrus County Property Appraiser (CROOKS) resets the Assessed value of the property to Full Market Value (in most cases.) Example- if the previous owner was paying $1000 a year in property taxes, the new owner may see the new property taxes raised to $3500-$4000 per year. Again, this does not happen in all cases, but why take that chance? If you live on a retirement pension, good luck. Stick with Levy county or Marion (Dunnellon is much nicer than any town in Citrus County.) Marion County did not raise my taxes by much when I bought my home years ago. Their annual property tax increases are reasonable, about 5%. Levy county taxes are dirt cheap, and you get acres of land and privacy.
Your realtor probably is trying to keep you in their area that they sell in. Doesn’t matter where you buy a home in FL your property taxes will be reassessed and you will be taxed at the assessed value of the property. I encourage you to research property tax rates in Citrus County vs. wherever else you’d like to buy. I would bet that Citrus County’s tax rate is less than wherever else you’re looking. It is definitely less than Marion County.
@@ryanfowlerFL Good to know. I bought a house in Citrus Springs a year ago, and am concerned about what the full assessed value for taxes will be. Last year, I was paying just on land without a house cuz taxes are in the "rears," and I got off real easy last year. So nervous about this year. My home I bought was $289k.
@@commonsenselucy5697 it should be approximately .86% of the assessed value of the home, and then you can homestead the property as well to take off an additional ~$50,000 of the assessed value. So probably around $2100 or so (just my educated guess).
@@ryanfowlerFL Thanks. I am going to have to pay a little more on top of that because of bringing "potable water" to this neighborhood; new construction. There is a one time "assessment," but I can pay it off over 15 years rather than the $3,800. up front. I DO LIKE it here, and moved here to get out of "crowded city." Came from Sarasota, which I LOVED for 12 years, but condo living got very expensive, and too many people moved to Sarasota; got very crowded. Many of us have left after Hurricane Ian. Just wish I didn't have to drive so far too Publix here; I used to be a block away in SRQ. But, you can't have it both ways; rural or city life.
@@ryanfowlerFL Should max out closer to $4K
I live in Citrus Springs and I would not move out here if:
1) You like upscale restaurants.
2) You hate driving an hour to do most things.
3) You like going to the movie theater. No movie theater out here!
4) You like eating out at the "ok" restaurant on Sunday, Monday or Tue. Most "ok" places are only open Wen to Sat.
5) You want to work in the back office of a nice company.
6) You hate 4 way stops and 35 speed zones.
7) You like to visit a beach that is not a NYC block long. "Looking at you fort Island!"
8) You want to meet a young nice Christian girl at church. They are mostly retired...
9) You want to do online dating. Slim pickings out here!
10) You like Mexican food but not Los Magueyes. They have a monopoly out here!
11) You do not like having the sheriff blowing up your phone every time there is a storm. This SOB does not care what time of night it is!
12) You do not like scallops nor the people who flood this area every season.
13) You like being able to travel to your house after a storm. That SOB who likes to blow up your phone also likes blocking off entire roads in and out of crystal river!
14) You like being in the woods alone. The day you build you might be alone but NOT FOR LONG!
15) You do not want more churches than gas stations.
16) You do not want a sunpass to get to Tampa.
This is valuable info here, folks. Thanks for your input Jeremy!
Damn I really need to try that pizza place
It’s decent NY style pizza!
No one in citrus springs goes to that publix
Cheap really? No it's not
