Carrollwood, Florida may sound like just an ordinary place, but don’t let the name fool you: this small community outside of Tampa has everything you could hope for in a warm weather home. West of the enormous fun to be had in Tampa itself, Carrollwood puts you even closer to the Gulf Coast and its white, sandy beaches without being surrounded by sun-seeking tourists.
Not too crowded and not too close, the 33624 zip code is a residential area that is sandwiched in between Florida’s west coast and the numerous attractions in Greater Tampa, including Busch Gardens Tampa, Lowry Park Zoo, and the Florida Aquarium, with all of their amazing animals and educational opportunities. Or pursue creative interests instead and visit the Tampa Museum of Art or the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, both offering sophisticated entertainment.
