If you are searching for homes in Dade City, this video is for you.

In this walkthrough, I tour the newly opened model homes at Summit View, a Dade City community that has been building for a while but has just opened a brand new model area. This was my first time inside these models, and I share my honest, real-world impressions of the homes, the location, and the lifestyle this community offers.

Summit View sits on one of the higher elevations in the area, which means stunning sunrises and wide open views you do not always find in new construction. The community is only about five minutes from St. Leo University, making it especially appealing for faculty, staff, and anyone wanting to stay close to campus while enjoying a newer home.

What I cover in this video:

• Location and why elevation matters in Dade City
• Proximity to St. Leo University and nearby conveniences
• The Summit View amenities center, including
– Resort-style pool
– Pickleball courts
– Half basketball court
– Walking trail
– Bike racks for residents who like to ride around the community
• Why this neighborhood offers some of the best sunrises in the area
• What buyers should understand before visiting any model homes in Dade City

The homes in Summit View are built by DR Horton, but this video is not a sales pitch. It is about helping you understand the community, the location, and how to protect yourself as a buyer in today’s market.

Very important if you are house hunting in Dade City, Florida:

If you want your own representation, guidance, and negotiation help, you must contact a Realtor before visiting any builder model home, including Summit View or any other community in the Dade City area. Once you walk into a model without an agent, the builder controls the process, and you may lose the ability to have professional representation.

I help buyers every day who are relocating, buying new construction, or trying to compare communities throughout Dade City, Florida and the surrounding area. My job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions, not just open doors.
