Temple Terrace Florida Real Estate

Only one of three incorporated communities in Hillsborough County, Temple Terrace is located northeast of Tampa.  Named for the hybrid "Temple" oranges and the surrounding "terraced" terrain, Temple Terrace was incorporated in 1925.  Like many areas of the bay region, the city’s first development occurred during the early decades of the 20th century when lovely Mediterranean architecture graced elegant homes.  Spanish influences in red tiled roofs and lush courtyards are also common.  Residents enjoy a medley of amenities close to home, including the private golf club with a first-rate swimming pool.  Good local schools and a public library add to the convenience of neighborhood living.
