Shady Hills is a rural retreat not far from Tampa
Shady Hills is a community of approximately 12,000 residents in the far northern section of Pasco County, located about 40 miles north of the bustling metropolis of Tampa. Although not too far from Tampa, it feels like it's a world away. Narrow residential streets are lined with tall, mature trees and neighbors are spread out in houses on sprawling lots. The lone major thoroughfare, Suncoast Parkway, is lined with trees and expansive farmland. "This is a peaceful area to live, and everybody has at least an acre or more. The more land you have, the more secluded you feel," says Tina Brooks, a long-time resident and co-owner of Green Acres Blueberry Farm, which has been serving the area for nearly 20 years. While Shady Hills might seem isolated, it's not. Just outside the community are highways that lead to the rest of Central Florida, and it's just south of suburban Spring Hill, which offers many amenities.
Manicured yards with large shade trees are plentiful in Shady Hills.
Folks in Shady Hills often have their own gardens on their large lots.

Homes sit on lots spanning an acre or more
Shady Hills offers primarily ranch-style, manufactured and New Traditional homes. Some homes are zoned as agricultural residences for those looking to raise animals. Lawns often span an acre or more, and the area's largest lots exceed 50 acres. Low fences and tall, mature trees surround houses. Most homes on land of up to 2 acres cost between $200,000 and $500,000, while homes on 2 or more acres typically cost between $500,000 and $1 million. Most of the community is residential; however, the southern section contains industrial properties, including a waste management facility and a power station. Shady Hills is susceptible to hurricanes and flooding. The county's website offers resources to help residents prepare for these events.
Shady Hills residents enjoy neighborhood walks on the clean sidewalks.

Locals dine nearby and visit farms and vineyards in the community
Shady Hills is primarily residential, with little retail within the community. As a result, residents often head into Spring Hill for shopping and dining.

Within the community, Green Acres Blueberry Farm offers blueberry, strawberry and seasonal vegetable picking. Strong Tower Vineyard & Winery offers a tasting room and hosts events such as yoga and salsa dancing. "The area is growing and getting busier," Brooks says. "We now have more events that focus on the community."
