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.
