Build a new home in Leesburg, FL
Between two big lakes on the Harris Chain — Lake County value with a revitalized downtown. Leesburg sits on the isthmus between Lake Harris and Lake Griffin — Harris Chain boating on both sides, a Main Street in mid-revival, and some of Lake County's most attainable buildable lots. Brightview builds across the city.

Leesburg new-home questions
Does Brightview Homes build new homes in Leesburg, FL?+
Yes. Brightview builds scatter-lot new construction homes in Leesburg and throughout Lake County. Whether you already own a lot or want us to find one, we build one of our 11 floor plans on an individual parcel rather than inside a master-planned subdivision — which is how you get new construction in established Leesburg neighborhoods.
How much does it cost to build a new home in Leesburg?+
Brightview base pricing starts at $269,990 for our Cambria and Tribeca plans (1,665 sq ft) and goes to $559,990 for the 3,479 sq ft Wellington Estate — all before lot cost and selections. Leesburg lot pricing and Lake County impact fees affect the all-in price. We'll give you an itemized, transparent quote specific to the lot and plan at consultation.
