In the northern United States around 1950 one could see a large billboard touted "Florida's Inverness Highlands, home and homesite for $59.34 a month."
Today, prices have risen quite a bit with the area's development. Tens of thousands of Citrus County residents will attest to this area's status as one of Florida's prime retirement destinations.
But it wasn't always that way. Half a century ago the idea of turning the area's pasture land and oak-covered hills into a housing communities seemed ludicrous.
Early developers foresaw great opportunity in creating Florida properties and homes for Northern retirees. A place far enough south to escape the cold weather and far enough north to escape the pricey land around Tampa and St. Petersburg. Citrus County fit the bill. Citrus County remains a top value in Central Florida properties.
Around 1950 Citrus County land was then selling for $30 to $50 an acre. There were no subdivision regulations or building codes to worry about. The county had a population in 1950 of 6,111, roughly the same as in 1900.
