Wesley Chapel, FL
Wesley Chapel has been among the fastest-growing unincorporated communities in the entire Tampa Bay region over the past two decades, transforming from a sparsely populated area of Pasco County into one of the more significant suburban growth corridors north of Tampa along the Interstate 75 corridor. The Shops at Wiregrass, an open-air lifestyle shopping center, anchors a substantial commercial district that's grown alongside the area's rapid residential development, giving Wesley Chapel significant regional retail well beyond what its rural origins as recently as the 1990s would have suggested. The community's growth has been driven substantially by large master-planned residential developments built specifically to accommodate the influx of families relocating from other parts of Florida and from out of state, drawn by comparatively affordable new-construction housing relative to closer-in Tampa neighborhoods. Wesley Chapel's combination of one of the most dramatic sustained growth rates of any Tampa-area suburb and significant regional retail development at the Shops at Wiregrass has made it one of the fastest-transforming communities anywhere in the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
VS
Apollo Beach, FL
Apollo Beach sits on Tampa Bay south of the city, developed substantially around an extensive network of man-made canals that give a large share of the community's homes direct boat access to the bay, a waterfront-lot density unusual for a suburb this close to a major metro area's core. The community sits directly adjacent to the Tampa Electric Company's Big Bend Power Station, whose warm water discharge canal has become an unlikely wildlife attraction — manatees gather there by the hundreds during winter months, drawn to the artificially warmed water, and the utility company has built a public manatee viewing center specifically to accommodate visitors drawn to the seasonal gathering. Apollo Beach's canal-front development pattern has made it a particularly popular choice for boating enthusiasts specifically seeking direct water access from their own property, a lifestyle draw distinct from the more inland, golf-course-oriented planned communities found elsewhere in the Tampa suburbs. Apollo Beach's combination of extensive canal-front boating access and its unexpected role as a major winter manatee gathering site has made it one of the more distinctively waterfront-oriented suburbs anywhere in the greater Tampa Bay metropolitan area.
