New Tampa is a residential area that encompasses a twenty four square mile area within the city limits of Tampa and a section of Hillsborough County. New Tampa is one of the largest areas in Tampa, as it has rapidly expanded with the growth of the Tampa area. New Tampa homes for sale offer a wide variety of opportunity and affordability not seen in other areas of Tampa. There is no question as to why this area has seen such growth; it is close enough to Tampa to circumvent a long commute, but just out of reach to be considered an urban area. The close proximity to Tampa offers the same features of living downtown: Sporting events are convenient (Raymond James Stadium, Tropicana Field), the beaches are within reach, art galleries and museums are within minutes, and the luxury of the fine dining is accessible.

New Tampa homes for sale range from a price of around $125,000 and up. With the population boom starting in the mid-nineties, the development, known as "smart planning," was specifically geared toward the development into the future. A wide variety of neighborhoods offer a buyer many options which cater to the buyer’s needs.

Easton Park, one of New Tampa’s newer master-planned communities offers residents the appeal of comfort with design. With such amenities as tropic landscape, wildlife conservation, a swimming pool, and jogging/walking paths, the starting price in the high $100,000’s is worth the price. Scenic views of ponds and preserve allow the resident to feel like every day is a vacation. Arbor Greene is another one of New Tampa’s master-planned communities.

Neighboring Flatwoods Park, a 5000+ acre wildlife preserve, Easton Park is an ideal setting for any sized family.

New Tampa has come a long way since it was first settled in the mid 1800’s. The main thoroughfare Bruce B. Downs Boulevard reflects the community’s pride in its area. Two featured golf courses, Hunters Green Country Club and Tampa Palms Golf Club, as well as two public courses, Heritage Isles and Pebble Creek Golf Club, offer choice in golfing experience. With so many options, it is hard to say no to a lifestyle in New Tampa.
