Tampa exurb offering country living with resort-style amenities
Surrounded by 17,000 acres of woodlands, Tampa’s Cory Lake Isles stands out among its other suburban neighbors. On the doorstep of rural Hillsborough County, the community combines rustic country living with resort-style amenities near big-city life. Twenty miles outside downtown in the New Tampa area, the secluded exurb overflows with outdoor recreation. “It gives you the best of both worlds – a waterfront lifestyle and a strong sense of neighborhood,” says Lessie Reyes, neighborhood resident and Realtor with Realty One Group Advantage serving the area for over 18 years. You have access to lakes and a lot of conservation areas. It’s a great place for those who love boating and all kinds of water activities in an exclusive community.” Despite being off the beaten path, residents can conveniently access major thoroughfares to reach amenities and attractions throughout Tampa.
Cory Lake Isles is a large community built around the lake.

Surrounded by 17,000 acres of woodlands and a 165-acre lake
The 165-acre lake at the heart of Cory Lake Isles is a labor of love partially dug by the community’s founder, Gene Thomason and is a vital part of the neighborhood’s identity. The lake is popular for skiing and boating and is accessible from most homes. The lake has a boat ramp and is the hub for most community events. The Beach Club is the neighborhood’s other central gathering space for recreation. Surrounding the club are a resort-style lagoon pool with a waterslide, a 24-hour fitness center, a small beach, volleyball, pickleball and basketball courts. “It’s really a family-oriented community. I raised my son here,” says Reyes. “All the residents know each other, and you’ll see them riding their bikes, walking and running.” Cory Lake Isles also has a soccer field near the Beach Club, a roller hockey rink with bleachers and four community parks. The largest is next to the Beach Club, and all the parks have playgrounds and plenty of picnic space. The Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve, the largest natural area in the Tampa Bay region, surrounds the south and east sides of the neighborhood. The preserve offers 60 miles of trails over 16,000 acres, boating opportunities along Hillsborough River, fishing from the boardwalks and admiring various wildlife. “It’s such a beautiful place,” says Reyes. The 3,000-acre Hillsborough River State Park adjoins the preserve, which offers even more opportunities for hikers and boaters. A primitive canoe trail marks the path to this hardwood swamp, so it’s recommended for avid hikers and experienced boaters. Flatwoods Park to the south and Wilderness Park to the east are also prime spots for cyclists looking to explore the area. Morris Bridge Recreation Area, 3 miles away, is another preserve surrounding the community, offering boat docks, bird watching and rugged paths for off-road cycling. Campers and horse enthusiasts can also enjoy the outdoors, as Washburn Equestrian Area is less than 2 miles away.
Residents of Cory Lake Isles end up with variety of different beautiful views.

Luxury lakefront Mediterranean homes
Niche ranked Cory Lake Isles as the seventh-best neighborhood in Tampa to buy a house in. The gated neighborhood is guarded 24/7, and its winding streets, which all have a tropical island name, are lined with palms and a dense canopy of mature oaks. The neighborhood offers stately Spanish and Mediterranean-influenced homes, a few ranch-style houses and modern custom builds sprinkled in. Most homes were built in the early 2000s and range from around $520,000 for a three-bedroom over 2,500 square feet to over $2 million for a custom five- or six-bedroom lakefront home over 6,000 square feet. Most homes have waterfront, natural conservation or some sort of water views. “These are the only waterfront residences in New Tampa,” says Reyes. Higher-end homes on the water come with private docks and resort-style backyards with tropical landscaping. Nearly all Cory Lake Isles homes have pools, multi-car garages, and decent-sized lots, with the average around 10,000 square feet, but most stretch over a quarter acre.

Cory lake is a very fun and safe place. Some things that I love about Cory Lake are the clubhouse, the pool, the gym, and the neighborhood itself. It is a beautiful neighborhood with great nature. It is a big neighborhood and going for walks around it is very relaxing. The people who live here are usually very nice and friendly. It is a sort of pricey place to live, but it is worth it. The only real issue I have with it is the strictness of the Hone Owner's Association. It can be very demanding to keep your house up to par to their standards. Other than that I love living here.
