Lutz, Florida is located in both Pasco and Hillsborough County. Lutz is a community that grew rapidly in the late 1940's and 1950's thanks in part to town boosters. In 1948, its proximity to Tampa was a distinct advantage: "The phenomenal growth of the Lutz area is due to its friendly community, it's beautiful lakes, its civic and church life and its location so close to the metropolis of Tampa that it offers every pleasure of country life yet has the advantages of the city." The city of Lutz while seemingly offering a small town feeling, is also large enough to offer its own post office, libraries, and fire station. If a true small town, down home feel is what you are in search of, then finding that next home to buy or rent in Lutz is a prime location to purchase real estate.
