Welcome To Pasco County Florida

Where is Pasco County?

Living in Pasco County

Pasco County is where sunshine, space, and smart growth come together. Whether you’re trading snow boots for flip-flops, searching for a new construction home, or craving a little more elbow room just outside of Tampa—Pasco might be exactly what you’re looking for.

📍 Where Is Pasco County, Florida?

Pasco County sits just north of Tampa, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico inland to the rolling hills and open spaces of East Pasco. It’s part of the Greater Tampa Bay area, giving residents a sweet mix of suburban comfort, small-town charm, and easy city access.

  • To Tampa: 25–45 minutes depending on where you land

  • To Wesley Chapel: Right in the heart of growth

  • To Clearwater Beach: About an hour

  • 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.

It’s also one of the most popular relocation spots in Florida for those looking to escape rising prices in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. People love the spacious homes, the newer construction, and the way it still feels like “home.”

Whether you’re commuting to Tampa, working remotely, or fully retired, there’s a lifestyle match here for you.

Everything You Need (and Then Some)

Pasco isn’t just neighborhoods and roads—it’s communities with real perks. If you’re moving into a master-planned development, you might find:

  • Resort-style pools & splash pads

  • Clubhouses with fitness centers

  • Pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts

  • Dog parks and playgrounds

  • Golf courses and private gated entrances

  • Walking trails and conservation areas

Wesley Chapel is home to The Lagoon at Epperson, the first of its kind in the U.S.—a crystal-clear, swimmable, 7-acre tropical oasis. Yes, you read that right. A lagoon. In your backyard.

Pasco County Schools are constantly evolving, with a focus on STEM programs, school choice, and career prep. Some areas—especially Wesley Chapel, Odessa, and Trinity—offer highly-rated public schools and several A-rated charters.

Noteworthy schools include:

  • Seven Oaks Elementary and Wiregrass Ranch High in Wesley Chapel

  • Sunlake High and Bexley Elementary in Land O’ Lakes

  • Academy at the Lakes – Private, pre-K–12 in Land O’ Lakes

  • Pasco Hernando State College – Multiple campuses throughout the county

Parents love the community engagement and newer campuses. And with new neighborhoods comes continued investment in infrastructure and education.

Parks and Outdoor Fun

Real Estate Market Report

If you like being outdoors, Pasco delivers in spades:

  • Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park – Miles of trails, campsites, and wildlife

  • Suncoast Trail – Ideal for cyclists, runners, and weekend strollers

  • Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park – Kayak through mangroves and springs

  • Skate parks, splash pads, and sports complexes are everywhere

  • The Lagoon – Yes, we’re mentioning it again. Because it’s that cool.

This is the place where kids ride bikes until dinner and adults trade beach days for backyard BBQs.

📊 What’s Trending in Pasco?

Pasco County is one of Florida’s fastest-growing housing markets, especially for new construction. Inventory is strong, and many builders are still offering incentives like closing cost help and rate buydowns.

  • Time on Market: Most homes sell within 30–40 days

  • Top Areas for Growth: Wesley Chapel, San Antonio, Land O’ Lakes, Zephyrhills
