Spring Hill is uniquely defined as having one of the most diverse populations in Hernando County. Over the past 10 years, a large number of young professionals and families have relocated to the area in response to competitive real estate prices, an overall lower cost of living and the completion of the Suncoast Parkway, providing fast, easy access to the metropolitan Tampa area. As a result of this population surge, several new shopping centers, specialty stores and restaurants have opened with further construction underway.
