BROOKSVILLE - BROOKSVILLE - The east side of Trillium was untouched for months.

That was not a surprise. Most new subdivisions in Hernando County have nearly halted construction plans because of the slumping residential market.

But an unexpected thing has happened in the past few weeks.

The eastern section of Trillium has been flattened. New homes are being built.

"Pulte's found where the market is at and where the price is at," sales associate Phillipe Paul said of Pulte Homes, based out of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Despite the economy, there are people looking to buy homes. Trillium, located off County Line Road east of the Suncoast Parkway, is considered a desirable location because of its proximity to two major north and south corridors, the Suncoast Parkway and U.S. 41.

Bill Relvas, 66, is scheduled to close the deal on his new home today. He chose Trillium not only because of its location, but the community itself.

"I think the residents here care for the community," he said. "There's a large community pool exposed to the sun here. It's very comfortable. I didn't see anyone else with this kind of activity."

The homes range from $127,000 to $169,900. The sizes range from 1,265 to 2,000 square feet.

Paul said the development is broken down into three sections, Village A, B and C.

Village A is filled. Village B has 30 empty lots, but all are expected to be sold by the end of the year, he said.

Once completed, the subdivision will have nearly 900 homes.
