The REAL 6 Reasons Why Westchase Is Best Suburb In Florida
Westchase has been named the BEST suburb in Florida. And for those of us who live here, we are not surprised…but shh! We don’t want the secret to get out!
Ahhh, but it looks like it might be too late. The website Niche came up with this list: 2023’s Best Suburbs to Live in Florida. And so there it is: Westchase #1.
On the MJ Moring Show, MJ broke the news to me about this story. I asked him what the website said to explain why Westchase was the best in the Sunshine State. Niche evaluated the affordability of the various suburbs across the state. The average home value in Westchase is $380,000. Median rent is $1,698. The study also looked at public schools, nightlife, diversity, health, and employment opportunities. Westchase scored an A+ in all these categories.
What makes Westchase so great?
I agree with Niche’s review. However, some may not. A few people have mentioned that the HOA’s in Westchase are the only downside to the Tampa suburb. I have my own ideas as to why this is such a special community. The above tangible, quantifiable factors are important. But I think what makes Westchase a coveted suburb are some intangible qualities. Check these reasons out and see if you agree that Westchase is the best suburb in Florida.
