An aesthetically pleasing town near Tampa

Greater Thonotosassa is more than rural charm, with Spanish moss drapes like garland from strong live oaks stretching into the sky. Great blue herons, river otters and the occasional alligator are active residents of the community. This neighborhood is a haven for conservation, where nature lovers always have a scenic view to appreciate. “The lake definitely draws people in,” says Brenda Wade, a Realtor for Signature Realty Associates, who has been selling homes for over two decades in the Tampa area. “It’s a hidden gem of an area.” Local estates and orchards allow the mossy trees and reflective waterfronts to serve as decoration, creating a charming rustic backdrop for special moments. Wherever the day’s activities may lead, the lush environment will always provide residents with a wholesome natural escape. Many medical facilities are close by, which attracts healthcare workers especially, according to Wade.
Commuters appreciate Thonotosassa’s proximity to Tampa, which is just 15 miles away and is home to large employers such as Tampa General Hospital, Tampa International Airport and the University of Tampa.

Outdoor adventure with Waldo, the neighborhood alligator

The area’s collection of parks forms the heart of the community, with a dog park in the northwest corner that allows pups to socialize and enjoy a waterfront view and Thonotosassa Main Street Park, which has a walking trail, basketball court and plenty of grassy areas. John B. Sargeant Sr. Memorial Park caters to birdwatchers, river riders and hikers and connects to the Hillsborough River Corridor, popular for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Visitors might spot the park’s unofficial mascot, Waldo, a 4-foot alligator named by park rangers. People visit Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club for golfing competitions and major events like weddings and birthday parties.

Contemporary homes with waterfront views

The neighborhood is comprised mostly of ranch-style and traditional homes with woodsy backyards ranging from $550,000 to $700,000. “Homeowners have larger properties with privacy here, there are rarely any traditional subdivisions,’ says Wade. More extravagant contemporary estates with 5 beds and 3 bathrooms range from $750,000 to $1.3 million and have proximity to Lake Thonotosassa, with relatively spread-out lots that offer abundant yard space.
