Abbott Park is settled deep in the heart of the rolling landscape of Zephyrhills. An eastern Pasco County suburb, Abbott Park has kept the historic city’s small-town charm while offering the amenities of a master-planned community at half the price of bigger-city suburbs. The neighborhood is named after one of the founders of Zephyrhills, which keeps its history alive with a vibrant downtown nearby. The community is surrounded by nature in every direction. “It’s located in what’s known as ‘The Nature Coast’ because you won’t find traditional sandy beaches,” says Brian Lee Swann, President of the Pasco County Historical Society. “They’re more natural areas with trails, and most locals want to preserve the rural areas.” Most amenities are within walking distance for Abbott Park residents, and the neighborhood is located directly off U.S. Highway 301 for access to Tampa, Lakeland and major area attractions. “You’re out of the hustle and bustle but can easily get to the Clearwater/Tampa area and be at the airport in less than an hour,” he says.
Most yards average around 6,000 square feet in Abbott Park many with fences.
