Imagine waking up, grabbing a coffee, and walking just a few minutes to the largest human-made lagoon in the country. Located in San Antonio, Florida (just north of Wesley Chapel), Mirada has transformed the “staycation” concept into a daily reality. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or looking for an active adult community, the townhome and villa collections here offer a low-maintenance way to turn your vacation vibes into a permanent address without the endless housework.
Before we dive into the floorplans, let’s talk about the “staycation lifestyle.” The 15-acre MetroLagoon is the undisputed star of the development, but Mirada offers more:
- Water Fun: Water slides, a floating obstacle course, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a splash park.
- Connectivity: Mirada is built on ULTRAFi infrastructure, providing up to 500/500 Mbps speeds—perfect for remote work or streaming 4K movies after a day in the sun.
- Convenience: The Market at Mirada features a Publix, shops, and restaurants right inside the community. Plus, you’re only 5 minutes from I-75.
