Ideally located in west-central Florida, Sun City Center combines a small-town ambiance with big-city attractions in easy reach. We’re big enough to provide plenty of choices for shopping, dining and services, and small enough to make the golf cart a preferred choice for daily transportation.

We’re eight miles from sparkling Tampa Bay, and just 45 minutes from the dining, shopping and, entertainment offered by the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota. The area also is home to the excitement of professional football, baseball and hockey.

Resources

Sun City Center is conveniently located near shopping malls, restaurants, hospitals and medical facilities, golf courses, national sports facilities, performing arts and entertainment facilities, theme parks, airports and other amenities in the Tampa Bay area. The community is well within a 45 minute drive to many of these fine attractions, yet it offers quiet, uncluttered living in a small town setting.
