Homes near USF and Florida College · About the same drive as New Tampa
I live out here myself, so this is the one I can tell you about from the inside, not just the file.
About the same drive to either campus as New Tampa, via I-275 and I-75.
Lutz runs a real range. Closer in, Oak Grove and Carpenters Run are established and unpretentious — older lots, mature trees, nothing trying too hard. Further out, it opens into countryside pockets, then into planned communities like Cordoba, Wellington, Sanctuary, and Willow Bend, where the lots get newer and the amenities show up. Most communities out here carry an HOA at most — this isn’t a place built around a CDD.
