Thanks for the heads up... I know it is not Tampa, but people looking to move to Tampa really should not miss some of the growing suburbs. Here is what Google had to say... (again, I appreciate you commenting and letting us know) FROM GOOGLE Yes, San Antonio, FL, is considered a suburb of Tampa. Located in Pasco County, San Antonio is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area. It offers a more rural and small-town atmosphere while still providing relatively easy access to the larger city amenities and employment opportunities in Tampa, making it a suburban community within the broader Tampa Bay area.

I know... I know... I feel the same way. But what I learned is not every D.R. Horton division operates the same, the leadership is different etc. I won't go into a ton of details, but there are certain builders in Orlando that I won't touch, but the same builder in Tampa is amazing... just different division. My experience with D.R. in the Tampa area has been really good!!

The homeowners handle the lawn care. there are only a couple neighborhoods that aren’t Active Adult 55+ that handle your lawn care, but those HOA fees are a bit much. thank you for reaching g out, if you have any more questions, please let me know.

Update: Although the hospital was approved over two years ago, seems like the groundbreaking is planned for October 2024.

Hurricanes are a risk for sure. Im from the midwest and Tornados are a bigger risk in my opinion because you dont know theyre coming. With the Miami Dade Hurricane build requirements, all the homes being built are stronger and more resilient to hurricanes and even come with hurricane shutters(even though you will probably never use them) Also Impact glass is nice and helps calm the nerves. Keep in mind, if you buy a home near the water, the risk is higher, prices are higher etc... If you buy a home more inland, you significantly reduce the risk.

I'm gonna contact you, I have some more questions.

@@LaredoHandymanSounds good!!

I appreciate your comment. Good news is that they are amazing communities. After living here for all these years, you would be proud if you really knew how amazing these communities are!! Great people and great communities!!

@@livingintampatv Thanks for the sales pitch.

i tend to agree. Can’t wait for the Village Center!! thank you for your kind words!! -Thom

thank you!! We love it here too!!! check out the latest ua-cam.com/video/oW93RAnOmbY/v-deo.htmlsi=mTg4ghKfxAKk3kki

yep!!! that’s the tough one, Hawkstone has the brand and beautiful houses and FH has the mature landscaping and scenery- such a tough decision for a lot of people. thanks for commenting!!!

Feel free to subscribe, there will be plenty of pros and cons videos in the future, but we weren't focused on those right now.

Thank you for chiming in.... I appreciate the feedback, but this wasn't meant to be a pros and cons video - It was an intro to the area.

Actually working on a new video regarding this. It is confusing in FishHawk, but here is the breakdown. FishHawk Ranch and it's amenities are for FishHawk Ranch only. Fishhawk Ranch WEST - has their own pool and "Lake House" community center. Fish Hawk Trails (yes two words for Fish Hawk) is a totally separate development and has no access, also Channing Park that neighbors Fishhawk Ranch has their own. Everyone within FishHawk Ranch has access to FishHawk Ranch's 4 amenity centers. Starling Club, Osprey Club, Aquatic Center and Hawk Park. Hope this helps!! If you need anything, I'm here.

Thanks!!! I’m not sure if I’m going to live in Fish Hawk or in Westchase. I’m worried about getting a little too isolated being in Fish Hawk.

We should chat. There are a lot of areas that may be of interest. usually a zoom call is best, I can help explain the area based on your needs. Let me know if you want to chat.

BeMINI..... not Bumini....yep, I learned this long after the video. I wish I could carry around someone in my pocket to pronounce some of the things, but I can't and Im definitely not perfect. thanks for looking out!!!

You make an awesome point!! would it help if I included a link to search the homes in the area that I video? Prices change so much, I want to make sure I don’t date the video.

Still dangerous, schools are absolute garbage, I couldn’t wait to leave Hallandale beach

Thanks for sharing!

that’s awesome!!! I’ll never turn back.. 😂 I was born in Fort Myers, but raised north of Detroit.. love it here in Tampa

Everyone has their own priorities. someone buys a house near best bars, restaurants and someone buys a house near the best schools.

Thanks again for watching. My family really likes the shopping, the restaurants and the newness of everything there. My wife (the boss) loves the calmer lifestyle and not the chaos of the traffic in those areas. Schools in Weslet Chapel, Land O Lakes and Lutz are really good too, so it is a great area for a lot of people, we are really enjoying FH, but we love helping clients in those areas too. We are about to record many more videos about that area, so stay tuned!!

@@livingintampatv Indeed. Lutz is great on the Hillsborough side if you're in the Steinbrenner High School/Martinez Middle School zone. The Pasco side schools are good too. I have friends and coworkers in Fish Hawk and Valrico. I would add that River Hills and Twin Lakes are great neighborhoods in Valrico too.

@@redwolf8135 I’m 5 minutes from River Hills. I need to get in there to record also. Our cameras got a little dusty, we have been back recording in the last 10 days thankfully.. focused on Lakewood Ranch currently. thanks again!!!!

Hi!! I just noticed this... sorry. Yes, you are right, does not include GED and the student has to get good grades, good test scores and also community volunteer hours, but if you do all of that, you are GUARANTEEd the scholarship. Not a lottery process. I appreciate the feedback, and I did move to Florida for this program, so I did extensive research.

it is still not worth it to be honest. Why go through all that volunteer hours and extra work to potentially get a state funded scholarship to attend a subpar college in Lakeland FL. The only colleges worth it in Florida is UF and FIU because of their connections and academics. No the scholarship is not guaranteed; it is even stated on the Florida state website. The excelsior scholarship in NY gives a full ride to students on top of TAP (state aid) and Pell Grants. NYS has top schools and top employers. The only requirements is the parents make less than 125k a year and the student works in NY state for the amount of years of scholarship. Which is fine because they are far more opportunities and high paying jobs in NY than down south. My teen has interned at two top Fortune 500 companies and will graduate with no debt from SUNY Stonybrook within the engineering department. Mind you, he is a GED recipient with no SAT/ACT scores nor did he volunteer for the scholarship.

Edgestone is also a pretty amazing concept. Townhomes with a twist of Florida. Very cool amenities and some really good pricing!!

that's amazing!!! If you need any guidance, we are here for you!! my Direct cell is 813.244.6689

So many Collages…. lol. but seriously. our editor made a mistake and by the time we caught it… it was too late to fix. lol😂 thanks for letting us know.. we are doing a better job checking their work now. 😉

yes sir!!! we love it!! We are in the process of figuring out what videos that we have done and not uploaded yet, this is one of them I think!!! Thanks for the tip and thanks for checking out the vid!!!

oh wow!! I had no idea. thank you for the comment and letting us know this awesome info!!

Hi Stewart - feel free to call me direct at 813.244.6689 or thom@touchstonehomegroup.com

Hi - are you referencing Seaaire the new Lagoon community?

oh NO!!! where did I spell it wrong? thank you!!!

thank you!!! I don’t know how to fix it now, but how funny that college of all words is the one spelled wrong. 😄 thank you!!

Hi Bobby! Thanks for the comment... and most of all, THANK YOU for your service!!

There are still many places in Florida that would be considered “still affordable” - but yes i agree, with skyrocketing prices over the last few years, we all wish we would have stocked up!!! the lifestyle here is amazing!

@@livingintampatv Yeah in the hood or trailer parks are still affordable. We are thinking of leaving Florida. I have a baby and another on the way. We are priced out of getting a home in a good school district. So I am looking for an internal transfer to Delaware or Jersey City where I will get a boost in pay and ironically will be able to afford housing.

@@RedWolf75 I have a great agent friend in Delaware if you need one. Also, we are here if you truly want/ need to sell, we market properties like nobody else. thanks again for the convo!

It sounds like certain people want to isolate themselves from regular people, so go ahead. We want you to isolate yourself little do you know because you people are so prejudiced. People should live together that think the same, go ahead and put that price up high to keep certain people out.

I have an amazing neighborhood that we are going to highlight, we will launch the video this Saturday at 9 am!!! feel free to text me also

Nice Pool and Nice BMW!! you may really like this neighborhood I’m posting. it is in Lithia, 1/2-1+ Acre lots, everyone seems to have/want a pool, no CDD and no community pool.

@@livingintampatv thanks, hard to find something when we have a beautiful home and lot. If I could build the David Weekley Polluck or Terraglen model on half an acre min lot with pool and spa for 1 million or under that would be ideal. I love those two David Weekley models. Just one story no bonus room needed.

Here it is. ua-cam.com/video/SF0JG5Vhucc/v-deo.html Just launched it.

@@livingintampatv let’s see it

Hi Marlon. I can find that for you. specifically new construction? If so, depending on overall budget and preferences, I may have the perfect spot.

Thank you for the immediate response, prefer new construction but I am amable to anything that is within 1-5 years old as well. I have been tracking Parrish since I arrived here in Jan 2022 and it has been growing at a fast pace. I work on MacDill so would rather stay closer to the West side of Parrish. Thank you

@@marlonvillacres8048 launching a video on Saturday. The neighborhood I live in is loaded with active military and Veterans and it seems like everyone is at MacDill. I’m a Navy Veteran myself, and love working with our Military!!!

Hey Marlon!! Just launched this one.. it is amazing!! ua-cam.com/video/SF0JG5Vhucc/v-deo.html

thanks for the breakdown. hopefully you were able to move before the chaos started. With the massive migration to Florida, there are so many areas that are exploding… crazy!!!! I see Parrish being another strong option to move to, also Plant City- great areas that were once only farms, now there is growth.

@livingintampatv , it's everywhere I traveled through 8 states this summer, and the explosion of new housing is off the wall . Drove through St. Louis and saw a single field that stretched for probably a half mile nothing but the same style of Apts. , past that came the subdivisions and it looked like arson took a good portion of those out by the highway just outside of down town , not everyone wants to be overrun it seems .
