Odessa is a small, upscale suburban community located about twenty miles north of Tampa. Historically a rural area hosting numerous ranches and equestrian facilities, Odessa has seen a huge growth in population since the year 2000 while still retaining much of it rustic charm. The close proximity to Tampa makes it a terrific spot for commuters seeking a more tranquil home life outside the city, and of course the Gulf of Mexico is only a short drive away as well.
