Many people ask for my opinion on some of the best family neighborhoods in the East Lake area Palm Harbor and Tarpons Springs .  While there are many to choose from, some stand out from the rest in terms of affordability for a growing family and location to the schools. 

First, I would suggest looking at homes in Boot Ranch and Brookers Landing.  Homes in these subdivisions have been around a few years but have been maintained very well.  The homes are not so large that the price gets prohibitive for a growing family and I think they are a good first choice. 

Secondly, a little farther north, but still in the East Lake area is Woodfield.  Woodfield consists of Lakeshore Village, Shadowlake Village, Fieldstone Village, and Oaklake Village.  Again, these…

Dreaming of waterfront property in Florida but can't afford the high price tag?  Consider riverfront property such as the Alafia River in Riverview Florida.

Alafia's meaning is derived from the ancient Indians term "River of Fire" because the night sky would give the water an illusion of fire shimmering its light below the surface of the river.   Living on the river can be a fun time especially if you like canoeing.

Check out our section on Riverview Real Estate on our website for more information.

If you ask anyone who lives in Brooksville FL, there is no doubt why they call this quaint town home.  It has all the charm of a small city, with many great amenities nearby to make it attractive.  Large grocery and department store chains, as well as retail and shopping malls are within a stone’s throw of Brooksville, but these residents don't have to look at busy traffic and the bright lights of the city everyday.  Brooksville real estate still has that small town feeling where you know many of your neighbors, children are playing in their yards, and you can run into people you know at the grocery store.  It isn't a one horse town by any means, but it is not as large as some of its nearby counterparts such as Tampa, St. Petersburg or even New Port… Read Full Post
