Zephyrhills, which sits northeast of Tampa and just south of Dade City, treasures its history. Neighborhood volunteers throw themselves into historical preservation of older buildings as well as community-building events centered around the downtown's Main Street. Locally-sponsored parades draw locals together, and regular community rummage sales let neighbors trade their treasures and check out the work of local artists.

Large apartment and condo complexes dot Zephyrhills, and many of them provide nice views overlooking small lakes. The area prides itself on its clean water, and Zephyr Park attracts kids and adults alike for water park fun during hot weather.
