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.”

Bungalows with vintage accents

Most houses in Egypt Lake are small to medium in size, one story and feature a variety of styles, ranging from Mediterranean to midcentury modern. “That area is really known for its bungalows,” says Lohr. “There are lots of classic bungalows with vintage décor and accents.” Still, some larger traditional houses can be found in the southwest part of the neighborhood located on the water and north of the lake, and condominiums are also available. 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.

Egypt Lake has many smaller, single car garage homes available as well.

ZooTampa attracts thousands

Residents are just 7-miles south of downtown Tampa and its attractions. Just blocks outside the neighborhood is the award-winning ZooTampa. “ZooTampa is incredible,” says Lohr. “It’s been updated over the years and it attracts so many visitors.” Located on the southern boundary of Egypt Lake is the Egypt Lake Recreation Center. Operated by Hillsborough County, the center offers a large, shaded playground area, two lighted basketball and tennis courts and an open field. The center also provides after-school and summer programs for children.
