Temple Terrace Hills is an established single-family neighborhood in the City of Temple Terrace, in Hillsborough County's 33617 ZIP, northeast of Tampa near the University of South Florida. Public sources describe Temple Terrace as a small city of roughly 26,000 residents, incorporated in 1925 and originally planned in the 1920s as one of the first Mediterranean-Revival golf-course communities in the United States.
The setting is the draw: public sources describe a rolling landscape, Hillsborough River views, and mature sand live oaks, with the City of Temple Terrace recognized as a Tree City USA and operating its own municipal services. Much of the housing in the 33617 ZIP was built in the 1960s and 1970s, so this is an established, oak-lined neighborhood rather than a new-build community.
Homes here span varied vintages, from mid-century single-family homes to renovated and rebuilt homes, so condition and the systems vary widely, and that is where value is won or lost. There is no Community Development District in a neighborhood of this age, while any HOA and the historic Temple Terrace country club membership are separate items to confirm per parcel.
For buyers who want an established address with mature trees, a small-city feel, and quick access to USF, Busch Gardens, and the interstates, Temple Terrace Hills is a distinctive option. The work is reading the specific home's condition and systems, the lot and any river-area flood exposure, and the character premium honestly before you fall for the curb appeal.
