Conveniently located suburban community near Old Tampa Bay
One of the first suburban developments in the Tampa area, Town ‘n’ Country began in 1958 with the purchase of a 525-acre dairy farm. Today, this community of about 90,000 occupies prime real estate in the metro region, with the waterfront on one side, Tampa International Airport on the other and several major roadways nearby. “More than anything, it’s a great location,” says Mena Reyes, a Realtor with RE/MAX Realtec Group Inc. in nearby Palm Harbor.
This community sits conveniently between Clearwater and downtown Tampa, both of which buzz with commercial, cultural and recreational activity. Within the community, residents enjoy an array of attractively priced housing options and have access to some of the top public and private schools in Hillsborough County.

Equidistant between downtown Clearwater and downtown Tampa
The community’s location offers convenient access to nearby attractions and the employment centers of Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. Downtown Clearwater is popular for its world-renowned beaches. Downtown Tampa offers an array of cultural attractions. Interstate 275 leads directly to greater St. Petersburg. And Hillsborough Avenue is a busy commercial corridor that bisects the community. “There are just a variety of places you can visit,” Reyes says.
While public transportation is limited, Hillsborough Area Rapid Transit offers bus service along Hillsborough Avenue and several other community roadways. The community’s primary medical facility, HCA Florida West Tampa Hospital ER, is on Webb Road. HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital is a full-service medical center less than 10 miles away.
Variety of options with a median sales price of $400,000
Midcentury styles are common among the non-HOA homes in neighborhoods such as Tampa Shores and Bay Crest Park. Larger homes, often featuring Spanish Mediterranean motifs, can be found in contemporary planned developments, including amenities-filled gated communities like Bay Port Colony. Driveways and attached garages are standard features and pools are common. Waterfront homes in neighborhoods like Rocky Point are among the community’s largest and most expensive. Multi-family options range from small condos to multi-story modern townhouses. The median sales price of $400,000 is lower than the state number. “Taxes are a lot lower because you’re part of the county, not the city,” Reyes says. Residents enjoy sunny weather throughout the year, but insurance rates reflect the high risk of flooding and wind damage during hurricane season.
