This area grew very rapidly from 1990 to 2010. Some of this resulted in crowded areas and neighborhoods. There are some areas that may not feel very intentional to you. Along the main roads throughout these areas everything seems very suburban but as you go further east it starts to feel more and more rural.

People are often surprised by how many residents call this area home. Brandon and Riverview are both one the list for large towns in Florida, both boasting over 100,000 residents. Most of this population is clustered in neighborhoods alone I-75 end state highways 41 and 301. There are also new developments as you go further South into towns like Wimauma, Apollo Beach, and Sun City Center.

This area is often chosen for its affordability. There are many factors that make this area more affordable. Whether you believe it is the towns themselves or it’s simply the distance from the beaches is up to you. There are some aspects to this area that I really love. You can definitely get more home and property for your money compared to the rest of Tampa.
