Sun City: Where Golf Carts Serve as Cars

Sun City is a charming community located in the southern region of Hillsborough County, Florida. This places it south of Tampa Bay but north of Sarasota along Interstate 75. The community is not a proper city with its own local government, but is rather an unincorporated census-designated location governed by the county. As such, its official name is given in several ways; locals may refer to it as Sun City Center or even as Greater Sun Center.



Its location in Hillsborough County means that Sun City is quite near the Gulf Coast but not directly on the water. Therefore, both coastal and inland attractions are readily accessible from Sun City. The community is home to come 20,000 permanent residents and has a large proportion of retired military officers. The housing inside Sun City consists of a variety of dwelling types including single-family residences, townhouses, condominiums, and duplexes, with some of these serving as Sun City vacation rentals so that visitors can enjoy the community.



Special amenities inside Sun City include several golf courses along with almost two dozen shops targeted at hobbyists. The community has several hobbyist clubs focusing on such diverse pastimes as computers, investing, dating, sewing, and dancing. In addition, there are both indoor and outdoor pools available in and around the main clubhouse.



One interesting feature of Sun City is the prevalence of golf carts on the streets in the community. These are legal during hours of daylight.
