The Homes

Builder
KB Home (KB Home Tampa, LLC), a national builder active across the Tampa Bay area; homes are built to be ENERGY STAR certified per the builder's standard program
Scale

Costs & Fees
HOA
Not released. Expect a homeowners association at a new KB single-family community, but dues and inclusions are unpublished; get the figure and scope in writing once sales open
CDD
Not confirmed. Verify whether a Community Development District applies to this site on the Pasco County tax roll before you commit; do not assume either way
Reality
This is pre-launch. NewHomeSource lists the community as 'pricing coming soon,' and any price, fee, or incentive quoted before KB formally releases the community is unofficial; get every number in writing at contract
Amenities
Public recreational trail
The December 2025 city agreement requires KB Home to build a 12-foot recreational trail on adjacent city-owned land, at the builder's expense, before certificates of occupancy are issued for homes in the subdivision
Morningside Drive extension
The same agreement covers construction of the Morningside Drive extension from US 301 to Fort King Road, a city connectivity project that runs alongside the community
In-community amenities
No pool, clubhouse, or amenity-center package has been published for Morningside; confirm the final amenity scope with KB Home when the community opens
Nearby recreation
The builder's community page cites nearby golf courses, lakes, and hiking trails, plus Hillsborough River State Park about 14 miles away per listing data
Location
Setting
At 13117 US 301 on the south side of Dade City in Pasco County, ZIP 33525, near the Morningside Drive corridor between US 301 and Fort King Road
Highways
Direct frontage access to US 301 with easy reach to US 98, the two spines of Dade City; Zephyrhills is south via US 301 and the I-75/Wesley Chapel corridor is reachable to the southwest
Context
Blocks from AdventHealth Dade City on Fort King Road, and the builder cites a future AdventHealth medical center less than two miles away; the surrounding corridor has an active new-construction pipeline, including the roughly 700-lot Hawk Highland Trails Phase II south of Morningside Drive
The Homes & Status
Morningside is a coming-soon KB Home community on US 301 in Dade City, not a selling neighborhood yet. As of July 2026 the interest list is forming, the sales office is not open, and NewHomeSource lists the community as "pricing coming soon." There is no model, no price list, and no move-in date.
The site is at 13117 US 301 in ZIP 33525, on the south side of Dade City near the Morningside Drive corridor. Per the December 2025 city agreement reported by the Hernando Sun, KB Home Tampa, LLC has part of an approximately 50-acre Flanagan Hillpot, LLC parcel under contract for an 80-unit residential subdivision that Dade City had previously approved.
KB is previewing nine single-family floor plans, roughly 1,393 to 2,682 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 2.5 baths, per the builder's page and listing portals. None of them are priced, and plan lineups can change between preview and launch.
KB's standard program builds homes to be ENERGY STAR certified, and its model lets buyers personalize floor plan, exterior, and design choices, but every Morningside-specific detail, from included features to lot premiums, remains unpublished.
Because this is pre-launch, the real work now is getting on the builder's interest list and lining up representation, not chasing a price that does not exist yet.
The Site & the Road Deal
The most concrete public facts about Morningside come from Dade City's commission agenda, not the builder's marketing. On December 9, 2025, commissioners approved a three-party agreement between the City, KB Home Tampa, LLC, and landowner Flanagan Hillpot, LLC to build the Morningside Drive extension from US 301 to Fort King Road.
That road project is tied directly to this community: the corridor crosses the Flanagan property and a piece of city-owned land, and the agreement formalizes the land swaps, compensation, and construction responsibilities needed to line up the roadway, a recreation trail, and the subdivision's land plan.
The agreement also obligates KB Home to build a 12-foot recreational trail on the city's land abutting the development, at the builder's own expense, completed before any certificates of occupancy are issued for homes in the subdivision.
Closing on the land was structured to occur within about 90 days of the December 2025 agreement, simultaneous with KB's purchase contract, which is consistent with the community surfacing on KB's website as an interest-list project in 2026.
For a buyer, the practical read: this is a small, in-town subdivision whose public commitments so far are connectivity and a trail, not a resort amenity package. No pool, clubhouse, or amenity center has been published, so assume nothing beyond the trail until KB releases the community plan.
The in-town location is the other half of the story. The site sits minutes from downtown Dade City's courthouse square, and AdventHealth Dade City hospital is nearby on Fort King Road; the builder also cites a future AdventHealth medical center less than two miles away.
Before You Commit
Treat every number as unconfirmed until KB formally releases the community. There is no public price list, HOA figure, or fee schedule; get the dues, what they cover, and any sub-association structure in writing before you sign anything. The 80-unit count comes from the December 2025 city agreement report, and approved plans can be revised, so confirm the final homesite count and plat with the builder.
Confirm whether a Community Development District applies to this site on the Pasco County tax roll. Many Pasco new-construction communities carry CDD assessments that add materially to the monthly carry, and it is not yet public whether one is attached here, so verify rather than assume either way.
Verify school zoning by address with Pasco County Schools. Listing data places Pasco Elementary School about 0.9 miles away and Pasco Middle School about a mile away, but third-party portals disagree on the assigned high school, so confirm the actual assignments for the specific homesite before you rely on them.
On any new-construction purchase, the first-year tax bill often reflects the unimproved lot and then resets sharply once the home is on the roll. Budget the true post-construction number, confirm Florida homestead eligibility, and remember the builder's sales staff works for the builder, not for you.
The Corridor
Morningside enters a Dade City new-construction market that already has plenty of homes you can buy today, and that is the comparison that matters. Hilltop Point, north of downtown, is the established corridor anchor with multiple national builders actively selling. Summit View and Bellamy Crossings are also active in the Dade City area, and the pipeline keeps growing: Lennar's Acacia Fields, the Vista Walk community, a Del Webb project in registration, and the roughly 700-lot Hawk Highland Trails Phase II approved on about 243 acres just south of Morningside Drive. Against that field, Morningside's likely differentiators are its small size, about 80 homes per the city agreement versus master-plan-scale neighbors, and its in-town position near the hospital, downtown, and the new Morningside Drive connection. Its catch is timing: it is a pre-launch interest-list community competing against subdivisions with standing inventory, published prices, and open models. A buyer who needs a home now is shopping Hilltop Point and the other active communities, not Morningside.
Who It Fits
Morningside fits the buyer who is early, patient, and specifically wants a new KB single-family home in Dade City proper, close to downtown and the hospital rather than out on a master-plan fringe, and who is willing to wait out a pre-launch timeline to get it. It does not fit the buyer who needs to move now, who needs a confirmed price, HOA, or CDD figure before deciding, or who wants a built-out amenity community today, since none of that exists yet at Morningside. Anyone tracking this community should get on the KB interest list, line up independent representation early, and confirm the price, HOA, CDD status, school zoning, and amenity scope in writing the moment the builder opens sales.
