Similar Mediterranean homes

Cross Creek is composed of winding streets of single-family houses on manicured lawns decorated with tropical plant life. “There's Arbor Greene and other sections with mini communities, some gated and on their own,” says Realtor Shannon Adkins who works with Fine Properties and has seven years of experience in the area. Cross Creek has sidewalks for strolls through the neighborhood, although it’s not walkable for doing errands. With no commercial buzz or through traffic, the streets are quiet. As for architecture, the Mediterranean style with stucco exteriors and arched entryways is predominant, although the neighborhood has contemporary and ranch-style options. The exteriors are often painted in an array of sandy browns, ocean blues and sunset pinks, channeling a coastal atmosphere. “There are similar homes and similar floor plans because there were only so many builders,” Adkins says. “Most of the houses were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s.” Sales prices range between $330,000 for a ranch-style Mediterranean home to $625,000 for a four-bedroom contemporary home.

A 20-mile commute

About 20 miles from downtown Tampa, residents can commute via Interstate 275 South by car since there is no public transit in the area. The drive can take half an hour or longer during trafficky rush hour. Cross Creek is almost entirely residential, so the area doesn't offer many jobs or commercial opportunities, but it’s ideal as a bedroom community. For a nearby medical center, locals can go to AdventHealth Wesley Chapel. Residents can access the Tampa International Airport for further travel from business trips to vacations.
