What is planned at Everlee
The Roberts Companies announced Everlee in January 2026 as a farm-centered community southwest of Gainesville. The plan puts about 2,700 homes on roughly 900 acres of a 4,000-acre property that runs between SW Archer Road and Parker Road.
The larger share of the land is meant to stay open. More than 2,600 acres have been placed under the stewardship of UF/IFAS, the University of Florida's agriculture institute, and the plan includes a professionally managed working farm with a farm stand and seasonal markets for residents and neighbors.
Where Everlee stands in 2026
At the time of the announcement, the developer had not submitted a formal proposal to Alachua County. That means land use and zoning approvals, a phasing plan, builder selection and any community development district (CDD) were all still to come.
Treat every number as a proposal. Home counts, home types and timing can change during county review, and a plan of this size normally goes through public hearings before any lots are sold. If you see Everlee homes advertised, ask for the approved site plan and the recorded plat before you sign anything or pay a deposit.
How to follow Everlee and what to ask
- County filings. Watch Alachua County growth management agendas for a comprehensive plan amendment or rezoning application tied to the property.
- CDD or HOA. Large Florida master plans often use a CDD to finance roads and utilities. If one is created, Florida law requires a CDD disclosure in every sale contract. Ask for the proposed assessment per lot.
- Utilities and schools. Ask who will provide water, sewer and power, and check school zoning with Alachua County Public Schools once addresses exist.
- Farm operations. Ask how the working farm will be funded and governed, and whether residents pay toward it.
What to consider while you wait
If you want a newer home southwest of Gainesville now, the nearest established master plans are Oakmont, off Parker Road, and Haile Plantation. Oakmont's CDD publishes its assessment schedule, which gives you a real benchmark for what a CDD home in this part of the county costs to carry each year.

Common questions
Where is Everlee in Gainesville?+
Everlee is planned for unincorporated Alachua County southwest of Gainesville, on a 4,000-acre property between SW Archer Road and Parker Road. Homes are proposed on about 900 of those acres, with more than 2,600 acres placed under UF/IFAS stewardship. Exact entrances and addresses will depend on the site plan the county eventually reviews.
Can you buy a home in Everlee yet?+
Not as of the January 2026 announcement. The developer had not submitted a formal proposal to Alachua County, so there were no approved lots, builders or prices. Check the county's growth management agendas for filings, and ask any seller for the approved site plan and recorded plat before paying a deposit.
Who is developing Everlee?+
The Roberts Companies announced the project in January 2026. The plan calls for about 2,700 homes and a professionally managed working farm with a farm stand and seasonal markets. Builders, phasing and any community development district had not been announced at that time.
Will Everlee have CDD fees?+
That has not been announced. Many large Florida master plans use a community development district to finance roads, drainage and utilities, and owners repay that debt through an annual assessment on the tax bill. If Everlee uses one, Florida law requires a CDD disclosure in the sale contract, so ask for the per-lot assessment early.
