Lake life with Tampa access
Centered around a roughly 60-acre lake, all with convenient access to downtown Tampa, Egypt Lake got its start in the 1940s and 1950s as a popular swimming and watersports destination for Tampa residents. Today, Egypt Lake is a patchwork of established pocket neighborhoods that appeal to residents looking for a quiet, residential lake community with easy access to the city. “The area is just really charming,” says Whitney Lohr, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway. “You have classic Florida style homes right next to attractions like the zoo, so it’s a great place to be.”
Egypt Lake is not too far from downtown Tampa.

Bungalows with vintage accents

Prices generally range from $250,000 to $690,000 for a single-family home, with condos being a bit cheaper and larger homes (some intended for multi-family use and sold as investment opportunities) go for around $1 million.
