    Wesley Chapel is a growing city with excellent K-12 schools, and several colleges and universities nearby. Residents have the option of living in subdivisions of all different scales and price ranges or on a piece of land that's a little bigger or more private. There are movie theaters, restaurants, coffee shops, and car dealers. There's a district park with areas for sports, with a scenic walking path around it and a playground in the middle. There's a mix of every kind of person you can imagine! Wesley Chapel is a city that understands that it takes all types of people to build a great city and that making amenities and necessities available to everyone while continuing to grow and expand is essential for such a town to prosper into an even stronger community!
    My experience with Wesley Chapel has been phenomenal. When I moved up here in 2006 there was nothing but grass, dirt, trees, deer, cows, horses and so many bright beautiful stars in the sky. To see and be a part of this town’s rapid growth and development was an experience like no other. I love how everyone knows everyone and how riding your horse on a Saturday morning is nothing but norm. Wesley Chapel is a great area to raise a happy and healthy family. We have comfortable, safe and secure communities and club houses for families and friends to enjoy on the daily. I would love to see more fun and free activities for the people of the town to enjoy. Food and music are wonderful ways to bring people together. Showing support to local schools, charities and events will always be welcomed and appreciated. All in all, the Chap is where it’s at.
