Get to know Lake Magdalene
Lake Magdalene is a northern Tampa-area community named for its freshwater lake. Its history predates the later suburban expansion that connected it more closely with the wider Carrollwood and Northdale area.
County community planning treats Lake Magdalene as a distinct part of northern Hillsborough. Exploring the lake area and neighboring streets shows why the local name is more specific than a general Tampa postal address.
Distinguish living near a lake from owning waterfront or holding access rights. Compare a home's setting, outdoor areas and neighborhood arrangements, especially when the water is an important reason for considering the community.
