WESLEY CHAPEL TAMPA BAY REAL ESTATE
Tampa Home For Sale
One of West Florida’s Fastest Growing Neighborhoods
Wesley Chapel Tampa real estate. This is one of Tampa Bays fastest growing areas in Pasco County. Wesley Chapel is in the eastern section of Pasco County, known today as a suburban escape from the rapid sprawl of the Tampa Bay area. Once the state highways came in the early 1970’s, there was no stopping the housing developments that sprung up along them with people coming from everywhere in and outside of Florida to get on the home buying bandwagon. The pace has slowed, and Wesley Chapel is still a favorite place for young and old alike to find a home.
Like so many other parts of Florida, what once were crop farming, logging, citrus and cattle ranching areas, the demand for owning a piece of land, obtaining the American Dream of homeownership was made easy by affordable suburban housing as well as expensive housing in this relatively rural part of Central West Florida.
There has been dispute over the years as to the official boundaries of Wesley Chapel. It would be considered County Line Road to the south, bordering Hillsborough County where Tampa is (including New Tampa), Highway I-75 to the west with Land O Lakes on the western side of I-75, Overpass Rd to the North and Morris Bridge Rd to the east which abuts Zephyrhills.
Today, as of 2009, there are over 13,000 people living in the area of Wesley Chapel. The northern part of Wesley Chapel is still more rural than the southern part that abets the area of Hillsborough County’s New Tampa. Here is where you will find higher end single family communities:
