| Lithia remains an unincorporated and somewhat rural enclave of Hillsborough County on the Eastern outskirts of Tampa. Lithia is one of the fastest growing Tampa Bay metropolitan areas, thanks to several mitigating factors. Developers just recently took note of the area offering a country feel, tranquil settings, gentle rolling terrain and ample available acreage for development. What once was rural agriculture and pasture land is being transformed into a most desirable community of which to reside. Developers are taking great care not to overdevelop Lithia with urban sprawl, an undesirable trait befalling several other communities and towns in the state. For example, an emerging trend among developers in Lithia appears to be the providing of oversized lots. Master-planned communities featuring private homes, vacation rentals, condominiums, timeshares and town homes with oversized lots, some wooded and several acres in size, are beginning to appear throughout Lithia. Such an approach permits developers to offer amenities, unbridled lifestyles and recreation not readily available in suburban communities so near a large metropolis such as the Tampa Bay region. For example, Alafia River State Park located in Lithia offers a myriad of outdoor opportunities of which to engage. In addition to more than 20 miles of BMX off-road bicycling and equestrian trails bisecting the park, the area offers outstanding canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming and fossil hunting. Residents relocating to Lithia fall in love with its country charm, crime rate lower than that of the state’s average and the area’s above-average employment rate. Such is evident by residents' length of stay which also is above the state average. Those relocating to Lithia are usually young, professional couples looking to raise a family in an area close in proximity to the conveniences of a large city but with safe neighborhoods and A-rated schools as the growing community boasts. The student-teacher ratio is an impressive 17.7:1, less than half that of some Florida schools and a third of others. Lithia's convenient location and unspoiled beauty make it a most sought-after community. It offers easy and unfettered access to Interstate 75, Interstate 4 and Brandon Town Center, a 1-million-square-foot mega mall shopping extravaganza consisting of more than 250 stores. World-famous beaches and major theme park attractions are within an hour's drive providing for the ultimate day excursions. Come relax in contemporary luxury coupled with southern sophistication and charm in a country atmosphere offering a variety of lifestyles.
