The embodiment of Florida style and charm!
WHO WE ARE
Dupree Lakes is a Planned Community located in Pasco County, Florida, that prides itself on great neighbors, well kept yards, being family friendly and offering the feeling you are out in the country, even though stores, restaurants, libraries, youth recreation fields and other amenities are less than a 10-minute drive away. Surrounded by conservation and water areas, the abundant wildlife is our constant entertainment. Osprey, hawks, owls, woodstorks, sandhill cranes and a multitude of other birds share their space with us, deer, bunnies, turtles, and the typical Florida animals found in hammocks and along wetland areas. You can even watch fireflies blink on-an-off on a warm summers eve.
Community members have access to a beautiful clubhouse and area with resort style pool, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, a soccer field and children’s play area. Sidewalks for strollers and runners are located on both sides of every street and on each side of Dupree Lakes Blvd. The main accesses to Collier Parkway on the South Eastern end and Ehren Cutoff to the North Western end, provide quick access to main county and state roads and Interstates.
It is comprised of 664 homes, divided into 9 neighborhoods with streets named after many of the flowers which were abundantly displayed in the original and historically significant DUPREE GARDENS, most of which is now the Dupree Lakes Community.
Dupree Gardens was 25 acres of interlacing trails of horticultural awe! Designed and created under the direction of J. W. Dupree, (a Tampa attorney with a penchant for gardening), within his 900-acre estate, it was called- "The Blossom Center of Florida". And for a brief time in the 1940s, visitors thronged to see the gardens from throughout the U.S. as one of the first roadside attractions in the state that is synonymous with tourist attractions.
