Vacation-style living in Mirada near shopping and dining
Thirty-two miles northeast of Tampa, Mirada is a master-planned San Antonio community offering 21st-century homes with shared amenities, including Mirada Lagoon. "It's a resort lifestyle," says Giselle Gartzke, a real estate agent with Top Florida Homes and a Mirada resident. "The lagoon is a 15-acre man-made pool. They have kayaking, paddleboarding and a lot of events." Florida State Road 52 makes commuting a breeze, and there are groceries and restaurants close by. "You can go riding your golf cart to Publix," Gartzke says. There's also a 55-plus subdivision with private amenities. "They have their own clubhouse, pool and a lot of events — poker competitions, stuff like that," Gartzke says. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. "It's a very friendly community," Gartzke says. "You can stay here and have your own vacation."

Spending the day at the lagoon
Mirada Lagoon is the neighborhood's most popular amenity, a 15-acre getaway with shimmering blue waters and sandy shores packed with family fun. "I come home and go straight to the lagoon," Gartzke says. "My son goes on the water slide and I can be working from the bar with a margarita." Paddleboards and kayaks are available to rent, and beach chairs are free to lounge in. Other highlights include an inflatable obstacle course, a splash park and food trucks. The neighborhood also has playgrounds and walking trails, including the Mirada Nature Trail, which passes by a dog park. "You can see birds and ponds with fish," Gartzke says. Folks in the 55-plus community have exclusive access to a pool, fitness center and courts for pickleball, tennis and bocce. Less than a mile away, golfers can hit the links on the Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club's public 18-hole course.

21st-century homes with a wide price range
Mirada offers a diverse range of 21st-century housing set along sidewalk-lined streets in planned subdivisions. "The majority are single-family homes, townhouses and villas — two houses in one lot," Gartzke says. "The monthly HOA is around $80, and that comes with internet and cable; it's $120 with the lagoon fee." Homes in the gated, 55-plus Medley at Mirada have homeowners association fees ranging from about $425 to $475, which go toward private amenities and community upkeep. Single-family homes are generally new traditional or contemporary ranch-style with clean, symmetrical lines, covered entryways and occasional details like stone accenting or board-and-batten shutters, depending on the subdivision. Common features include attached garages, covered patios and small lawns or rock gardens with succulents. Prices for these homes typically range from $300,000 to $800,000, depending on a home's size and features. Townhomes are generally smaller, with simple stucco facades, attached garages and rear porches; their prices range from $230,000 to $300,000. There are also a handful of larger Mediterranean-inspired homes with desirable features like multi-car garages, private pools and balconies. Prices range from $800,000 to $1.3 million.

Community events at the lagoon
Every day, there's a happy hour at the lagoon, and each week is packed with different social events. "They have bingo, trivia, karaoke, bubble night — that's what I call resort style," Gartzke says. Most events, like Movies on the Turf, bingo and karaoke, are open to the public, but there are a handful of resident-only events, like fitness classes, trivia and cigar nights with live music. Seasonal traditions include an Easter egg hunt, a Halloween golf cart parade with trunk-or-treating and photo-ops with Santa and the Grinch in December.
