Good Information About Homes in Carrolwood, FL
Published by Lance Mohr | Filed under Communities
Anytime I get someone who wants a more matured area and they are working in Tampa or South Tampa (which is Downtown Tampa) I always suggest homes in Carrollwood or Northdale depending on your price. Carrollwood is from downtown depending on where you are at maybe around ten miles north off Dale Mabry and Northdale is just a little further north of that. Carrollwood is a little bit different, it is a little bit more of an upscale area than Northdale, you have homes in there probably some nice homes you could find in there in the $200,000, $300,000, $400,000, $600,000 range especially right off the golf course there are some extremely large and nice homes.
Northdale, again is a little bit more affordable, a little bit older, most homes in those areas were built a lot in the 70s and 80s. Of course when you are looking for a more matured area, you are going to get the more matured homes, which you are going to have to make sure they have been updated, if that is what you want. So you could see a real big difference in price.
You could get two homes, say in Carrollwood, one is $300,000 and the other one is $300,000, but you are going to need to get an idea if both of them are updated, if both of them have not been updated, or maybe one has partially been updated and the other one has not. So you are going to need to do your homework. Of course with an older home you are going to get a much larger lot. Sometimes the downfall when you get into an older home, you are going to notice the floor plan is not necessarily how people are living today. In other words, back then you had very big secondary bedrooms, today you do not have really big secondary bedrooms, and a lot of the square footage is in the kitchen, the family room, and the master suite. Back then it was not necessary in the kitchen or the master suite area, but you have a big yard and of course all the trees are grown and it looks real pretty.
So, I would definitely suggest if you are looking for a more matured area that would be certainly a place I would recommend to go check out. I would certainly do that whenever you get a chance just head north up Dale Mabry and it will be very easy to find you will run right into the two of those.
