Citrus Park

An established northwest Hillsborough suburb built around retail, highway access, and everyday convenience

Overview

Citrus Park is an established suburb in northwest Hillsborough County, built up gradually since the 1980s around the retail corridor at Citrus Park Town Center and the Veterans Expressway. Unlike some of its master-planned neighbors, Citrus Park is a broader collection of individual subdivisions rather than a single HOA-governed development, which gives buyers more variety in lot size, home age, and price point.

The area appeals to buyers who want easy highway access without paying for a resort-style amenity package. Commuters heading into downtown Tampa or north toward Pasco County on the Suncoast Parkway both find Citrus Park convenient, and the mix of long-time residents and newer families gives it a settled, everyday character.

Legacy Real Estate Associates represents buyers and sellers throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Citrus Park. We're based in Bradenton, and we work regularly with clients relocating from out of state as well as longtime residents ready to sell.

Location

Citrus Park is an unincorporated community in northwest Hillsborough County, north of Westchase and just east of the Veterans Expressway, with Gunn Highway and Sheldon Road serving as its main corridors. It sits roughly midway between downtown Tampa and the Pasco County line.

Questions

Citrus Park FAQ

Does Legacy Real Estate Associates have an office in Citrus Park?
No. We're based in Bradenton and represent buyers and sellers across the Tampa Bay area as part of our Southwest Florida practice, including Citrus Park. That includes clients moving to the area from out of state and residents selling a home here.
How is Citrus Park different from neighboring Westchase?
Citrus Park is not a single master-planned development the way Westchase is. It's a collection of separate subdivisions built up over several decades, so there is more variation in home age, lot size, and whether a property belongs to an HOA at all.
What should buyers relocating for work expect here?
Citrus Park is popular with buyers who want quick highway access for a Tampa commute without paying for extensive community amenities. It's worth deciding early whether you want the resort-style feel of a planned community or the more straightforward, value-oriented character of established Citrus Park subdivisions.
What helps a Citrus Park home stand out when selling?
Because inventory spans several decades of construction, updates to kitchens, baths, and major systems tend to matter more here than in newer, more uniform developments. We help sellers understand how their home compares to others of a similar age and location before setting a price.
