Looking For and Buying a Home in Trinity Florida
When we first considered moving to Florida, our first thought
was to look for a new home in Pinellas County or Hillsborough
County. After all, Pinellas County is close to all those great
Gulf beaches, not to mention Clearwater and St. Petersburg.
Hillsborough County had the city of Tampa. There were lots of
good schools here in the Tampa Bay area, too, which was
important for us since we have two children. Inquiring around,
we learned that all the neighboring counties operate under a
school choice program. What this means is that you must apply
for your first, second, and third choice schools and wait for an
answer to hear if you have been accepted. Living nearby to the
school of your choice does not necessarily affect your
acceptance. Most families do end up getting their first choice
school, but there is a small chance that if you miss the
registration date or if that school is full, you may be assigned
another school. Well, we missed the registration dates. As we
considered the idea of a private school, we happened upon the
town of Trinity in Pasco County, Florida. Trinity is a new
master planned community just beyond the Pinellas County border.
A new community means lots of new schools and newer construction
for potential homes for our family. So we looked further.
What we found in Trinity and Trinity real estate was a wonderful
surprise. Cows still graze the pastures here, giving Trinity a
peaceful country setting. No traffic here, no congestion. The
community was quiet but growing. New businesses and shops were
sprouting up along the major roads in the area. Many beautiful
subdivisions were in development. We began to explore
neighborhoods and get to know the area. With several great
schools in the Trinity community, we'd have no problem getting
into the neighborhood schools. We decided on a home in the Fox
Wood Community, Trinity's largest subdivision. Fox Wood is a
gated community with two community parks, walking trails, and a
covered pavilion. There are other great neighborhoods too, like
Thousand Oaks, Trinity Oaks, Trinity West, Fox Hollow, Champions
Club, and Heritage Springs for those 55 years of age and over.
We liked what we saw in Trinity real estate.
As for the beaches, we are still close to those great Gulf
beaches of Pinellas County. Trinity is only about a 5 minute
drive to the border of Pinellas. Pasco County has some beaches
of its own, too, like Hudson Beach and Robert K. Rees Park.
We're close to the cities of Pinellas and Hillsborough too. In
fact, with the Suncoast Parkway just a few minutes away on Rt.
54, we can shoot down to Tampa in about 20 minutes. The Tampa
International Airport is so convenient too, with an easy exit
right off the Suncoast.
Great beaches, schools, restaurants, shops, and metropolitan
cities nearby and a great choice in real estate! That's why we
love Trinity, Florida.
