Location:
Plant City is located 24 miles east of Tampa in Hillsborough County and
just 10 miles west of Lakeland in Polk County. Ideally situated
off of Interstate 4, our town offers ready access to all of Florida,
including West Coast beaches and major tourist attractions. While
we enjoy the serenity of small-town living, we are close enough to
St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Orlando to enjoy the advantages and excitement
of larger metropolitan areas.
