Citrus Park Tampa, FL

Your tree-filled hideaway on the bay

Suburban Bay Area Beaches

Citrus Park is a laid-back corner of northwest Tampa where wide-open green spaces and a quieter pace of life make it stand out from the city's busier corridors. The neighborhood earns exceptional marks for its parks and outdoor areas, giving residents plenty of room to stretch out, go for a ride, or simply enjoy Florida's sunshine without the crowds. The Citrus Park Town Center anchors the area's shopping scene, offering retail, dining, and everyday essentials all in one spot. Getting around is easiest by car, and with the Veterans Expressway nearby, downtown Tampa and Tampa International Airport are both within easy reach.

The rental landscape here leans toward spacious, residential-style living. Renters will find a solid mix of townhomes, garden-style apartment communities, and single-family homes, many featuring generous floor plans and outdoor space that denser urban neighborhoods simply can't match. Options range from well-established communities to newer builds with updated finishes.

Tampa's annual Gasparilla Pirate Festival, a tradition dating back to 1904, is one of the country's largest outdoor events and gives the whole metro area something to look forward to each January. The University of South Florida is also just a short drive east, adding an extra layer of energy and activity to the broader Tampa scene.
