Family-Friendly Tropical Lakes Outdoor Living Nearby Beaches Tampa Area

Dotted with lakes and filled with palm trees and oak trees dripping in lacy Spanish moss, Lutz resembles a peaceful, tropical escape -- but this Florida town is close to everything. Lutz is directly north of Tampa -- just take I-275 to reach downtown in about 15 minutes.

The University of South Florida is on the south end of the neighborhood, along with University Mall, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and Adventure Island. Head a little farther south and you'll reach Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa International Airport, and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. Directly north of Lutz, you'll discover the popular Tampa Premium Outlets and Xtreme Adventures Family Fun Center.

By choosing an apartment in Lutz, you get the best of both worlds -- the busy city of Tampa and the nearby theme parks, and a peaceful suburban community with beautiful scenery. Nearby parks include Lettuce Lake Park, Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve, and the Cypress Creek Flood Detention Area. For a day at the beach, head just 15 miles west to enjoy the beautiful beaches along Florida's Gulf Coast.
