Discover the Latest New Construction Opportunities at MIRADA in San Antonio, Florida
If you’ve been dreaming of coastal living without the risks of being directly on the coast, the MIRADA community in San Antonio, Florida might just be your perfect match. This innovative master-planned community is centered around a stunning 15-acre Crystal Lagoon, offering resort-style amenities, new construction options, and a lifestyle that blends relaxation with convenience.
As a real estate broker who lives just a mile down the road, I’ve had the unique opportunity to watch MIRADA grow and evolve—and I’m excited to share the latest updates on what’s coming next.
Why MIRADA Stands Out
MIRADA is located about 30 miles north of downtown Tampa, providing the ideal balance between peaceful suburban living and easy access to city amenities. The crown jewel of the community is the Crystal Lagoon—an expansive, sparkling body of water that brings a beachy, coastal vibe to the heart of inland Florida.
Here, you can kayak, paddleboard, relax in a cabana, or sip a cocktail at the swim-up bar. The lagoon is lined with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and even features an island and slides, making it the perfect place to unwind or socialize.
But beyond the lagoon, MIRADA offers a wide range of housing options, including single-family homes, villas, townhomes, and even a dedicated active adult section called Medley at MIRADA.
DRB Townhomes Now Under Construction
One of the most exciting developments right now is the new townhomes by DRB, located on the north side of the lagoon. These homes are currently under construction and are expected to be available for purchase soon.
What makes these townhomes special?
- Two-car garages (a rare and highly desirable feature in townhome communities)
- Some units will offer direct views of the Crystal Lagoon, giving you a front-row seat to the water without ever leaving home
- Anticipated pricing starting in the $300s, with waterfront units likely starting in the high $300s to low $400s
These townhomes are similar to ones DRB has already built in the sister community of Epperson, which were well-received and sold quickly. Pre-sales should open soon, so if you’re interested, now is the time to get on the list.
More Villas Coming to Medley at MIRADA
If you’re part of the 55+ active adult community, there’s even more good news. The popular Medley at MIRADA section is expanding. Just across the street from the existing Medley homes, a new section of villas is being built on the south side of the lagoon.
These new villas will maintain the same quality and thoughtful design as existing Medley homes, with a few important upgrades:
- Designated golf cart parking—a much-needed addition for homeowners who only have a one-car garage
- Direct lagoon access via a new walking path, eliminating the need to detour through parking lots or main roads
- Potential future beach bar area (currently in planning stages)
And of course, residents will still enjoy all the incredible amenities Medley offers: a private clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool, dog washing station, bar and grill, pickleball, bocce ball, tennis courts, and more—all included with your HOA fee.
What’s Coming Next: Lennar Townhomes
Looking to the east side of the lagoon, we’re expecting another new construction addition: townhomes by Lennar. While construction hasn’t yet started, plans are in place, and I’m personally connected with a Lennar representative who will keep me informed of updates as they happen.
These new Lennar townhomes will be similar to those already available in MIRADA, offering well-designed floor plans with the possibility of fantastic inland lagoon views. If you’re interested in being among the first to know when these become available, feel free to reach out and I’ll make sure you stay informed.
Why People Love Living in MIRADA
Living in MIRADA isn’t just about beautiful homes—it’s about the lifestyle. You’ll find miles of walking trails, dog parks, and a full calendar of community events. Some events are even open to the public (with a small fee), but many are resident-exclusive, giving homeowners access to a truly vibrant and connected community.
Another bonus? Resilience during storms. Despite a couple of hurricanes last fall, MIRADA residents didn’t lose power or internet—thanks to underground utilities. Meanwhile, I lost power just a mile down the road! That’s peace of mind that’s hard to find in Florida.
Plus, being inland offers a safer alternative to living on the coast, without sacrificing the look and feel of coastal living.
Ready to Explore MIRADA?
Whether you’re looking for your first home, a vacation getaway, or a retirement oasis, MIRADA has something for everyone. But don’t navigate new construction alone! Remember, builder representatives work for the builder—I work for you. I’ll help you navigate the process, negotiate smartly, and ensure you’re making the best choice for your lifestyle and goals.
