The 7,000 people who call Dade City home have about as many reasons to be grateful they live here. Dade City is naturally what many master-planned

communities strive to re-create. From its historic

downtown core to its vibrant business community,

Dade City offers what you’d expect to find in

municipalities three times its size.

From state-of-the-heart health care facilities to award-

winning golf and country club communities to

turn-of-the-century homes, Dade City is a unique blend

of old and new, of the trendy and timeless, of the nostalgic

and the next big thing.
