📍 Where Is Pasco County, Florida?

  • To Orlando: 90 minutes, give or take

 

Pasco County is also home to several connected communities like Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, San Antonio, Dade City, Trinity, Odessa, and Zephyrhills—all with their own flavor and lifestyle

What’s It Really Like?

Life in Pasco is a little slower than in Tampa, but never boring. You’ll find top-rated schools, brand-new shopping centers, medical facilities, and a constant hum of growth—especially in areas like Wesley Chapel and Land O’ Lakes.
