About Odessa, Florida
Just Northwest of Tampa, Odessa was known for open spaces, ranching, and horse properties.
More recently it has seen many suburban property developments as Tampa’s population expands.
Odessa residents keep their little rural resting place safe from traffic and smog. They prefer life on a smaller scale, with more time to grow and more open space in which to do so, and it is paying off.
