EVERY HOME IS BUILT TO BE A SMART HOME
Your entire home is prewired and ready for Smart Control automation. Possible to control lights, temperature and security from across the room or across town.
Life just got brighter! Streetleaf, formerly iLights, is available at select Metro Places communities and is the first-of-its-kind solar streetlight system in the nation. Streetleaf delivers more than modern appeal and nighttime security. Not only does it save energy, it is not reliant on a power grid which reduces dependence on conventional utilities. The smart technology will automatically dim during inactivity and power to full strength when someone walks or drives by. Streetleaf is only one of the many reasons why Epperson is a unique place to call home. Innovation lives here. So should you.

Steeped in History
Steeped in rich, Florida history is the property formally known as Epperson Ranch. This idyllic piece of landscape in Pasco County was in the Epperson family for four generations and was traditionally used for the farming of livestock and various crops. In honor of the family name and with respect to the beauty that surrounds this area we thought it most fitting to call our newest community Epperson. As the land was always deemed a place for economic and development growth, the Epperson family was thoughtful in having Metro Places realize a dream of not simply converting the area to pavement and houses, but igniting this area for jobs, education, healthcare and a true 21st century model of living.
