6.41-Acre Multifamily Development Site | Inverness, FL | Zoned R-3 Centrally located within the City of Inverness, this ±6.41-acre development site presents a compelling opportunity for multifamily or alternative residential development in a supply-constrained submarket. The property is zoned R-3 Residential, allowing for up to 10 units per acre with building heights up to three stories, supporting a range of development concepts including garden-style apartments, workforce housing, and senior-oriented residential product. The site benefits from city water and sewer access via a designated easement, supporting current density allowances and providing a pathway for potential increased density through future zoning considerations. Positioned just off SR 44 / Gulf to Lake Highway (±28,000 AADT) and within city limits, the site offers strong accessibility and connectivity to the surrounding region. The property is in close proximity to key demand drivers, including Citrus Memorial Hospital, Publix, and the upcoming Aldi, as well as the Downtown Inverness Square, which features a variety of restaurants, boutiques, and local retail. Nearby recreational amenities such as Whispering Pines Park and the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes further enhance the overall livability and appeal of the location. The site is also within a 15-minute drive of Lecanto, Hernando, and Floral City, expanding its reach across the greater Citrus County area. From a rental perspective, the Inverness submarket continues to demonstrate stable performance supported by limited rental supply within a predominantly owner-occupied environment. One-bedroom units ranging from approximately 600 to 800 square feet achieve rents between $900 and $1,150 per month, while two-bedroom units ranging from approximately 850 to 1,100 square feet achieve rents between $1,050 and $1,350 per month. These rent levels align with the area’s income profile and reflect a value-driven tenant base, while the constrained inventory of rental housing supports consistent demand and reliable absorption for new development. The broader market is influenced by a significant concentration of retirement and senior households, creating sustained demand for workforce housing, downsized living, and assisted or independent living concepts, further reinforcing the viability of multiple residential development strategies at the subject property.
