About this home
Position your next project within the dynamic Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)—the 18th-largest metro in the United States, home to over 3.3 million residents. This region ranks among the nation’s top-performing markets for population growth, net migration, and development momentum. Located just one hour north via the Suncoast Parkway (589), Crystal River, Florida offers developers and investors a rare combination: close proximity to the Tampa Bay powerhouse without Tampa’s land pricing or congestion. The area provides immediate access to a booming retiree population, a robust and expanding healthcare system, and accelerated retail growth, all within a tax-friendly, business-welcoming climate that supports year-round development activity.
6552 W Gulf to Lake Highway is a highly visible 2.42-acre infill development site located directly on State Road 44—Citrus County’s primary east-west commercial corridor. With 212 feet of full-access highway frontage, the property benefits from exposure to over 17,400 vehicles per day and provides rare ingress and egress access from both eastbound and westbound lanes. The site lies at the commercial core of Crystal River’s growth path, making it ideally positioned for high-traffic retail, healthcare, or multifamily uses. The property is zoned General Commercial (GNC) and Medium Density Residential (MDR), allowing for an exceptional mix of development potential including retail, medical office, hotel, and multifamily residential—up to 10 units per acre with PUD approval.
The surrounding area is home to an established network of national retailers, service providers, and essential infrastructure. Within a 1–2 mile radius, you'll find Walmart Supercenter, Publix, Lowe’s, Walgreens, CVS, ALDI, Bealls Outlet, Dollar General, Family Dollar, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, Tractor Supply Co., McDonald’s, and other major brands—offering strong synergy for high-visibility, traffic-oriented businesses.
Demographics within a 15-minute drive reflect a stable, opportunity-rich consumer base, including a population of 17,551 residents, a median household income of $53,000, and an average age of 61.2. This market profile signals robust demand for essential goods, healthcare services, quick-service restaurants, and convenience-driven amenities. Altogether, 6552 W Gulf to Lake Highway represents a rare chance to secure a shovel-ready site in one of Florida’s most recession-resistant, demographically resilient submarkets—making it an ideal acquisition for developers, operators, and institutional buyers seeking long-term value and strategic positioning in the Tampa Bay metro area.
