WELCOME TO SPRING HILL FLORIDA

When you mention Spring Hill, Florida, people look at me with this blank stare. No one seems to know where Spring Hill is located. That's not unreasonable. We are not a town, city or incorporated. We are a subdivision! Now this was really strange. But back in the day, Deltona Corporation was flying people here from Long Island and New Jersey to view property in this new retirement area, Spring Hill. There are still a lot of little Deltona homes in the area. As times changed, so did Spring Hill. We are now a bustling part of Hernando County. We are 45 minutes north of Tampa. We have easy access to Tampa via the Suncoast Parkway. We have some lovely subdivisions like Pristine Place, Silverthorn, Sterling Hills, Avalon, Woodland Waters, The Waters, Seven Hills and many more. We are neighbors to Weeki Wachee where the Mermaids swim every spring and summer. Weeki Wachee Springs has been in operation for about 25 years. Where there was nothing here, the mermaids would swim in the springs and people came from all over just to see the shows. The park is a little run down now and there is a fight with the county on who is going to take it over and run it. '

Brooksville is the other town (real town) in Hernando County. This is the area where all the new restaurants, and shopping is coming in. Hernando County has 3 super Wal-Marts and a Sam's. How many more do we need - true they wanted to build another one but they backed down when people who lived in the area protested.

I heard we are getting a Kohl's and a Super Target. They have already broken ground for a new J.C. Penneys and some other stores. We have a Carrabasas, Rita's, and Panera Bread. Things have changed dramatically since I've been here just 3 years.

People are still moving to Florida and they are moving to the West Coast (we are Florida's Nature Coast). We have a lot of wildlife and not many beaches. We do have waterfront property and its still the best value on the water. We have lots of golf course communities and 55+ gated communities. We have large lots with new homes on lime stone roads and of course the mobile home communities.

If you are ever in the area, stop by and say hi. You might just decide to want to live here.
