Coral Heights is a short drive from Clearwater and major beaches

When it comes down to it, Coral Heights is a standard, no-frills Florida neighborhood about 25 miles west of Tampa. Its subdivisions, which frame some of southern Largo’s more industrial areas, share many of the qualities that draw people to the state as a whole: warm weather, a lack of state income taxes and lower home costs compared to other parts of the country. Clearwater is 8 miles away, but major roads make it relatively easy to also reach St. Petersburg and Tampa. Perhaps more importantly for some residents, a few major Gulf beaches are about 20 minutes away. “So it’s kind of the best of several worlds, really,” Copeland says. “From the weather to the cost, not to mention the beaches.”

Access to major roads and a nearby airport and hospital

Ulmerton Road runs along the southern part of Coral Heights, and it takes just a few minutes to reach U.S. Highway 19, which is usually just called U.S. 19, and U.S. 19 Alternate. Smaller main roads like state Roads 693 and state Road 686, otherwise known as East Bay Drive, are also a short drive away. Copeland says easy access is another reason people are attracted to the area. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport and HCA Florida Largo Hospital are both about 5 miles away.
Public transportation is a popular option in Town n' Country and there are stops all over.

Local parks nearby and an easy drive to major beaches

At the edge of the area, Belcher Soccer Complex hosts soccer games on its collection of fields. Largo Central Park Nature Preserve is about 4 miles away, offering walking trails and a 5-mile kayaking route. The park's wildlife includes otters, alligators and bats. Coral Heights is also only 8 miles from major beaches like Belleair Beach or Indian Rocks Beach, a drive that takes about 20 minutes, and a 30-minute drive from Clearwater Beach. “Clearwater Beach is kind of famous,” Copeland says. “Honeymoon Island has been named the top beach in the country by Dr. Beach several times, as have several others. … The Gulf beaches are really one of the big draws.”
Belcher Soccer Complex can be a busy place with kids in the area.

A little over 2 miles away, Paradise Shops of Largo and Largo Plaza offer a collection of restaurants, big-box stores and a movie theater.

Annual events thrown by the city of Largo

Many residents attend Largo's community gatherings. Among the city’s most popular events is a Fourth of July fireworks show in Largo Central Park, and Copeland says there’s a big holiday festival there that features a train ride for young children alongside Christmas light displays, crafts and live music. The park also hosts summertime concerts or musicals at its performing arts center.

Hurricane season in Coral Heights

Hurricane season is a big part of life in Florida, but Coral Heights benefits from being an inland community without a lot of nearby water sources. While the area has an extreme risk of high winds, its homes are not in flood zones.
