Neighborly connections at the annual garage sale, Halloween and Christmas events

The Long Lake Ranch Spirit Committee brings neighbors together. The community garage sale is an annual highlight, where residents clear out their garages, attics and closets. The committee hosts kid-oriented events for Halloween and Christmas. Additionally, each subdivision hosts its own neighborhood events. "Each little section has some community leadership, and that person tends to bring the people together," Coleman says. "I find it to be a very neighborly community."

Tampa and Land O' Lakes in easy reach

Long Lake Ranch is located between Land O' Lakes and Tampa. "It's far enough from big-city Tampa but close enough to get there if you want to," Coleman says. Locals mainly get around by car, while Pasco County buses stop along State Road 54. Interstate 275 and State Road 589, a toll road, lead south into the city. Tampa International Airport offers direct flights across the U.S. and abroad. Advent Health provides an emergency room about 4 miles west, and St. Joseph's is a full-service hospital about 5 miles south.
