Dotted with lakes and lined with palms and oak trees dripping in Spanish moss, Lutz resembles a peaceful, tropical escape - but this Florida town is close to everything. Lutz is directly north of Tampa - just take I-275 to reach downtown in about 15 minutes.
The University of South Florida is on the south end of the neighborhood, along with University Mall, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and Adventure Island. Head a little farther south and you'll reach Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa International Airport, and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. Directly north of Lutz, you'll discover the popular Tampa Premium Outlets and Xtreme Adventures Family Fun Center.
