Reasons I Love Living in Plant City Florida 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) I wish I knew about Plant City Florida years ago, it is one of the best places to live in the country. Only a few miles to the Gulf of Mexico and the Tampa area, Plant City, FL is a quiet little city that allows residents to access the best of neighboring cities in no time.

I lo ...Read More ve living in Plant City because we can pack the car and be at the beach in a half hour, or head in the other direction and be at Disney World in an hour. There are a ton of outlet malls between Tampa and Orlando to choose from, so we save a fortune on shopping. Tampa has some of the best dining establishments, and we can even get to Sarasota or Kissimmee in less than an hour to enjoy all their restaurants.

The best areas in Plant City are all within a half hour of each other, so I can be back in my quiet neighborhood quickly and enjoy the best neighbors I've ever had. Read Less
