Wesley Chapel Florida Homes for Sale March 23rd 2018

Welcome to the Wesley Chapel Economic Development
and Government Relations Committee

The future is now, Wesley Chapel.
Weathering the economic slump that we share with our friends across the country and the world, we look to the future in this area of undeniable growth and energy. Wesley Chapel, Florida finds itself at a crossroads. Cows and orange trees have made way to homes, malls, schools, businesses and parks. The crossroads are the growth of the area after many generations of agriculture based economy and low population numbers. Wesley Chapel's recent growth is based on a combination of outstanding quality of life, available buildable land, low property taxes, no income tax, warm weather and location (located just a half hour north of Tampa International Airport) bordering on Tampa's highest growth area, New Tampa.

New malls, roads, schools, parks and jobs all show strong growth for this area. In fact, the 2008 Gadberry Report ranked Wesley Chapel 4th on the eight most notable high-growth areas in the U.S. saying,

"The number of Wesley Chapel households grew from 11,334 in 2000 to 28,576 households in 2008, or 152%. Wesley Chapel had the largest growth in Seasonal Units of all eight places with growth of 80% – from 596 to 1,075.

Wesley Chapel had the second-largest growth in average household income increasing from $77,474 in 2000 to $102,450. Wesley Chapel also captured the second position for average net worth at $573,038."

Wesley Chapel is physically located at the crossroads of SR54 (the major east-west connector in Pasco County (New Port Ritchie to Dade City) and Interstate-75, the Canada to Naples Florida freeway that runs through the middle of our town. This major interstate freeway means that, on a daily basis, there are vehicles traveling directly from Detroit, Toledo, Cincinnati, Lexington, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Atlanta and all points in between.
Location, location, location.
