From a vantage point at MacDill AFB Base in Tampa, Florida, my spouse and I gazed upon the murmuring water of the Hillsborough Bay. The serene horizon view included roads towards the Southeastern suburbs of Tampa: Gibsonton, Riverview, and Lithia.
Departing MacDill, we curved along the Selmon Expressway and landed 30 miles over in the Fish Hawk neighborhood of Lithia. While cruising around the neighborhood, we found a little slice of tropical paradise with this MilitaryByOwner property listed for sale by owner.
