I like the Westchase area. Near Sheldon and Linebaugh. Easy to be anywhere quick, but Brandon might be a little stretch to go to work. Check it out though.

I think we are looking toward the wesley chapel/seven oaks area..Thanks for the help guys..
Brandon is tough wih traffic I use to live there by the autozone (?) I cant remember the street name..It is the rd that Costco is on..
Just get anywhere near I-75 since the Best Buy is right off the interstate. Anywhere WEST of I-75 is okay for traffic. East is a BITCH. It's not a good situation either way, but 54 east of I-75 is a freaking nightmare. There is a Best Buy opening up right there at 54 and 75, so if there's any chance of another transfer, that might work out perfect.

New Tampa is right there by Wesley Chapel, too. Easy access to 75.

The biggest problem is heading north on 75 in the afternoons. You might want to look into Riverview and Gibsonton...then you'd be going south on 75. Plenty of newer subdivisions there.

Anywhere with newer subdivisions is going to be a pain in the ass with traffic no matter what. So if you're expecting traffic, you'll be fine.

New Publix plaza going in right by my house and some new mall coming to the area. Taxes/insurance in Pasco county are less than Hillsborough (Tampa/New Tampa). Just be sure to get some insurance quotes before buying as there was only 1 other company next to Citizens (expeeeeensive) who would insure my brand new house!

The commute to Brandon will be all I-75 and, while traffic sucks everywhere down here, it's not unbearable. Good luck and feel free to shoot me any questions about the area up here.
I live in Zephyrhills, too, and I love it here. I'd rather deal with the old people than live in "the city." Easy trip down 301 to Fowler to get to I-75. Just kind of dangerous..crazy drivers on 301. I'd be dead a dozen times if I didn't pay attention to the oncoming, suicidal idiots.

Best Buy at the Grove on SR54/75 is already open.......that would be perfect if you worked there.....you could live in Seven Oaks and have a 5 minute drive to work....

I live in Riverview and like being there. If you need to go in Brandon there are plenty of short cuts that they have opened recenctly. Makes life very easy. Be careful if you buy in riverview with the CDD fees and HMA fees.
