The beauty of Odessa is just one of its many Gulf Coast assets
Palm trees, lakes, inlets, and stunning Mediterranean-style homes with pools, boats, and cozy cul-de-sac locations barely begin to tell the story of the Odessa neighborhood. Located about 23 miles northwest of Tampa, Odessa is ranked the second-best place to live in Pasco County by Niche. Home to about 7,500 residents, Odessa is a welcoming and active suburban community with most homes built in the 21st century.
“I love this neighborhood,” says Jennifer Laihuyen, a local Realtor with Future Home Realty and a real estate agent for over 16 years. “Odessa has supermarkets, fitness centers, shopping, daycare centers and great schools, all just around the corner from home. The neighborhood offers plenty of conveniences and is truly close to everything.”
Land spreading out so far and wide with a speckling of lakes, is what makes up Odessa.
Enjoying a ride on a tree lined street or a day fishing on the lake, is the Odessa life.

Lakefront vistas compete with breathtaking landscaping to delight residents
Sidewalk-lined subdivisions feature simple stucco cottages and million-dollar inlet-facing homes with pools. Swaying palm trees and flowering Bougainvillea complement green lawns and nearby lakes to create a stunning Florida oasis. Homes feature lanais, elaborate patios and two or three-car garages. Single-story homes have recently sold from about $500,000 to $900,000. Buyers can find multi-acre, undeveloped properties in Odessa from about $500,000 to more than $1,000,000. Luxury waterfront homes with lake access and guest cottages have recently sold from $950,000 to $2,000,000. Realtor Laihuyen continues, “There are a lot of newer homes in Odessa and the great location means it's a little pricier, but you can still get more bang for your buck here than in places like Tampa.”

Folks can just cross the street and enjoy lunch or dinner,” Laihuyen says. “There are lots of new businesses as this is such an up-and-coming area.” Locals stop at Starbucks throughout the day at The Shoppes at Crossings Boulevard, which also features a Chili’s, Pizza Hut and Jimmy John’s.
