The town of Lutz, Florida is a great place to find real estate and homes for sale because of the extraordinary weather of Florida and the tranquil atmosphere of the region. The rural feel of Lutz is retained largely because of the strong commitment of the residents to keep a small-town country atmosphere in the area. Tampa and St. Petersburg are only a short drive away, opening the door to many urban attractions and activities. The area is dotted with fresh water lakes and ponds, some interconnected through canals. Agricultural land, used primarily for grazing cattle and horses and even a few smaller citrus groves, can be found mixed in with subdivisions, parks, schools, churches and businesses. Lutz is quickly becoming known for its upscale golf course communities and developments offering many amenities such as parks, community centers, pools and playgrounds. A strong sense of community is rooted in the connections of residents to the schools and churches and organizations in the area.
