Living in Pasco County

Pasco is where Tampa grew next. Wesley Chapel and Land O’ Lakes are full of master-planned communities with resort pools and brand-new schools, while New Port Richey and Hudson on the coast still offer older canal homes at friendlier prices.

Expect CDD fees in most newer neighborhoods and traffic on SR-54 at rush hour. The trade is newer construction, better insurance rates, and a shorter drive to the jobs.
