Not an apartment.
Not a house. Something better.
Stillwell Pasco Station is Pasco County’s first purpose-built build-to-rent community — 277 homes designed from the ground up for renters who want more than a standard apartment can deliver.
The Build-to-Rent Category
A home that’s actually built for renters
Build-to-rent (BTR) is a purpose-built rental housing category that has grown significantly across the United States over the past decade. A BTR community is a neighborhood of rental homes designed and constructed from the ground up specifically for renters — not converted from for-sale inventory, not a former apartment building rebranded, and not a single homeowner’s property on a short-term lease. Every element, from the floorplan to the shared amenities to the management structure, exists to serve long-term renters who want a real home experience without the financial commitment of ownership.
The category emerged to fill a genuine gap in the housing market. Traditional apartments offer flexibility but rarely deliver the space, private outdoor access, and neighborhood feel that come with a house. Traditional homeownership provides space and stability but demands significant upfront capital, long-term commitment, and ongoing maintenance responsibility. Build-to-rent occupies precisely that gap — delivering the home experience through private entrances, private yards, and a neighborhood layout, while preserving the advantages that come with renting: professional management, no maintenance obligations, and the flexibility to move on your terms.
Stillwell Pasco Station is one of the first and largest BTR communities in Pasco County, with 277 homes across 29 acres in San Antonio, FL. The community was developed here because the market had a clear and unmet demand for this product type — renters who had outgrown apartment living but were not ready, willing, or positioned to commit to a 30-year mortgage. The result is a community that looks, feels, and lives like an owned neighborhood. That was the design intent from day one.
Inside Every Home
Private yards, smart homes, designer finishes
Every home at Stillwell includes a fully enclosed private backyard. Not a shared courtyard, not a patio visible to neighbors — an actual fenced yard that belongs to your residence alone. Private outdoor space is one of the defining features of the build-to-rent category, and it is standard in every floorplan here.
Smart locks, connected systems, and current-generation smart home features are built into every residence — not retrofitted as an upgrade. Because Stillwell was designed as a rental community from the ground up, the technology is part of the build rather than an afterthought layered on top of older infrastructure.
Every kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances. New construction means no aging equipment with an uncertain replacement timeline, no appliances carried over from a prior tenant’s era, and no surprises on move-in day. What you tour is what you get — current and consistent across every unit.
Thoughtfully selected finishes, fixtures, and materials across every room reflect the design quality that the BTR model demands. In a purpose-built community, every unit is built to the same standard — the model home you tour matches the home you sign for, not a curated showpiece that bears little resemblance to actual available inventory.
Every home at Stillwell is brand new. No maintenance history, no inherited deferred repairs, no aging HVAC or plumbing systems waiting to surface as your problem. New construction is the foundation of the BTR value proposition — a clean start in a home built to current standards, with everything from energy efficiency to structural integrity reflecting 2025 construction quality.
From a single-bedroom home to a full three-bedroom residence, the floor plan mix at Stillwell gives renters the ability to right-size for their actual life today. The BTR model makes it possible to change that decision at renewal without agent commissions, appraisals, months on the market, or the carrying costs of a home that no longer fits.
Community Amenities
Resort-quality amenities, included
A centerpiece pool that sets the tone for the community. Maintained by the management team and available to all residents daily — the kind of amenity that would cost a homeowner significantly to replicate privately.
A dedicated, fully enclosed on-site dog park. Every home is pet-friendly, and the dog park is built for real, daily use — not a small fenced patch added as a checkbox amenity.
A fully equipped fitness center on community grounds, open to all residents. No gym membership required, no separate facility to drive to, no scheduling. Access is built into the cost of your home.
A dedicated resident lounge designed for entertainment, casual gathering, and community connection. A real, functional shared space — not a common area with a couch and a coffee table.
An outdoor grilling station with turf, string lights, and dedicated gathering space. Community outdoor infrastructure of this quality is essentially unavailable in a traditional apartment setting.
A dedicated work lounge designed for focused remote work, video calls, and heads-down productivity. Community-wide Wi-Fi keeps every corner of the property connected.
A complimentary coffee bar in the common area. A small detail that reflects something larger about how this community is managed and what standard of daily experience residents can expect.
A private conference room available to residents for professional use, client presentations, team meetings, or any occasion that calls for more than a kitchen table. Reserved as a community resource.
The community is fully gated with controlled access to the neighborhood and its amenities. A gated BTR community on 29 acres delivers a level of privacy and controlled entry that a standard apartment complex cannot replicate by design.
Service & Operations
Professional management. One call handles everything.
Maintenance emergencies do not keep business hours. Stillwell’s 24/7 emergency line means a call at 11 PM gets answered — not a voicemail and a work order submitted for next week. For renters who owned a home previously, this alone is one of the most tangible lifestyle upgrades the BTR model delivers.
Trash valet service collects from your door daily. A convenience amenity that eliminates one of the small but cumulative frictions of everyday life — and one that simply does not exist in traditional homeownership or standard apartment communities.
Deliveries are handled, logged, and secured whether you are home or not. As e-commerce volume increases, reliable package management has become a practical necessity — not an optional perk. Stillwell’s acceptance program keeps your deliveries safe without requiring your presence.
A monthly resident events program keeps the community active and connected. This is the BTR management model operating more like a neighborhood association than a rental office — investing in the community experience rather than simply processing lease renewals.

Why BTR — Why Pasco — Why Now
The rental market evolved. Stillwell was built for it.
Build-to-rent is the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. rental housing market, and the Pasco County market illustrates precisely why. The median home price in Pasco County reached approximately $375,000 in early 2026, and with 30-year mortgage rates holding above 7%, the all-in monthly cost of ownership in this market routinely exceeds $3,100 before maintenance is factored in. That gap between what ownership costs and what renters are willing or able to pay has created sustained demand for a rental product that delivers the home experience without the ownership commitment. The full financial comparison is here. But the BTR argument is not only financial — it is a question of what product is actually available to renters who want more than an apartment but are not buying in this market right now.
In Pasco County specifically, the BTR opportunity is defined by what the traditional rental market has not delivered. The majority of rental inventory across Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, and San Antonio consists of conventional apartment communities where shared walls, parking decks, and the absence of private outdoor space are standard. The renter who wants a yard, a real neighborhood, professional management, and new construction has had almost nowhere to go — until Stillwell. Pasco County is also in the early stages of major employment growth, anchored by the Moffitt Cancer Center Speros campus opening in Land O’ Lakes with 11,000+ projected jobs. Renters relocating for those positions need quality housing fast, without the risk of buying into a market still finding its equilibrium. Stillwell Pasco Station was developed to meet exactly that demand.
Common Questions
Frequently asked about build-to-rent
What is a build-to-rent community?
A build-to-rent community (BTR) is a rental neighborhood where every home was designed, financed, and constructed from the ground up specifically for renters — as opposed to traditional apartments, which are built as stacked multifamily units, or single-family homes that happen to be listed for rent by individual owners. The BTR product category occupies a distinct position in the housing market: individual homes with private entrances, private outdoor space, and a neighborhood layout, combined with the professional management, shared amenities, and lease flexibility of a well-run rental community.
At Stillwell Pasco Station in San Antonio, FL, 277 homes are spread across 29 acres, each with a private fenced backyard, smart home technology, and new construction finishes. The community also includes a resort-style pool, fitness center, dog park, resident lounge, grilling station, work lounge, and a full suite of daily services including trash valet and 24/7 emergency maintenance. It is a fundamentally different product from both the apartment building and the individually rented single-family home.
How is build-to-rent different from renting a standard apartment?
The most immediate difference is the physical experience of the home itself. A build-to-rent residence at Stillwell is a ground-level home with its own front door, its own private fenced backyard, and no shared hallways, lobbies, or common walls above and below. Traditional apartments are designed for density — stacked units sharing ceilings, floors, and corridors. The BTR model is designed around the experience of living in a house, which means the spatial quality, the acoustic environment, and the relationship to the outdoors are categorically different.
Beyond the unit itself, the community-level amenities in a purpose-built BTR community tend to be significantly more substantial than what standard apartment complexes offer. Stillwell includes a resort-style pool, dedicated dog park, fitness center, grilling station, work lounge, conference room, and a monthly events program — amenities that most apartments in the Pasco County market do not provide at this level. The management model also differs: BTR communities are operated with the expectation of long-term tenancy and a high standard of maintenance responsiveness, including 24/7 emergency coverage.
Are there build-to-rent homes available in Pasco County, FL?
Stillwell Pasco Station in San Antonio, FL is one of the first purpose-built build-to-rent communities in Pasco County. Located at 29033 Corrine Road, the community offers 277 one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental homes on 29 acres in San Antonio, FL — approximately 12 to 15 minutes from Wesley Chapel and 15 minutes from the Moffitt Cancer Center Speros campus in Land O’ Lakes.

The BTR product category is relatively new to Pasco County. While the county has significant conventional apartment and homeownership inventory, the purpose-built rental home segment — with private yards, new construction, and resort-quality community amenities — is very limited. Stillwell was developed specifically to address that gap, offering Pasco County renters an option that did not previously exist in the market. View available floor plans here.

How do I find rental homes with private yards near Wesley Chapel, FL?
Private-yard rental homes near Wesley Chapel, FL are genuinely rare. The majority of the rental inventory in Pasco County consists of conventional apartment communities without private outdoor space. Stillwell Pasco Station in San Antonio, FL is one of the only build-to-rent communities in the area where every residence includes a private fenced backyard as a standard feature — not an upgrade, not a shared outdoor area, and not a ground-floor patio visible from neighboring units. Stillwell is located approximately 12 to 15 minutes from the center of Wesley Chapel via SR-52 west to SR-54.
In addition to the private yard on every home, Stillwell includes the dog park, resort-style pool, grilling station, and community-wide outdoor spaces that make the property feel like a neighborhood rather than an apartment complex. For renters specifically looking for a rental home with a private yard in the Wesley Chapel or Pasco County area, Stillwell Pasco Station represents one of the very few options in the current market that delivers it.
Is Stillwell Pasco Station pet-friendly?
Yes. Stillwell Pasco Station is a pet-friendly community, and the build-to-rent model is particularly well-suited to renters with pets. Every home includes a private fenced backyard — which provides a secure, enclosed outdoor space for pets that is absent from virtually all traditional apartment options in the area. The community also includes a dedicated on-site dog park designed for regular use. For renters who have struggled to find quality housing in Pasco County that genuinely welcomes pets and provides meaningful outdoor access for them, Stillwell’s combination of private yards and a dedicated dog park is one of the most significant practical differentiators in the market. Contact the leasing team directly for current pet policy details, including breed and weight information.
