🏡 Insider Insights: Why Ashley Lakes Stands Out
From the Releve Real Estate Team
Ashley Lakes offers one of Odessa’s most balanced lifestyles, combining affordable luxury with resort-style amenities in a family-oriented setting. This well-established community attracts growing families, young professionals, and active retirees who want spacious homes with low-maintenance living—all within a short drive of Tampa’s top destinations.

🔑 Key Takeaways from Our Market Analysis:
✔ Best Value in Odessa – More affordable than comparable communities like Starkey Ranch
✔ Resort-Style Amenities – Lagoon pool, fitness center & playgrounds
✔ Prime Location – 5 mins to Veterans Expressway, 25 mins to downtown Tampa
✔ Top-Rated Schools – Zoned for A-rated Pasco County schools
✔ Active Social Scene – Year-round community events
Our Advice: With high demand and limited turnover, buyers should be prepared to move quickly when homes become available.
