The Reality
The reality is infrastructure lag. The roads are widening, but not fast enough. The schools are excellent, but they are full. You are buying into a community that is still forming. But for the buyer who wants equity growth, getting in early on the development curve is the strategy.
Wesley Chapel is Union County's growth frontier. Without municipal incorporation, development happens at county level, which has historically meant more development-friendly policies. New construction communities continue to appear as builders respond to family demand for UCPS schools.
For buyers focused on schools and square footage over downtown walkability or historic character, Wesley Chapel's value proposition makes sense. For those seeking community identity, the area may feel generic.
