Welcome to North Weeki Wachee, home of Weeki Wachee Springs-- the deepest naturally formed spring in the U.S.

Also known as the city with the funny name, there's nothing wishy-washy about North Weeki Wachee. Located in north central Florida, an hour north of Tampa and within proximity to the Gulf Coast, North Weeki Wachee is home to over 8,500 residents that are just as proud of their city's quirky name as they are of the local quality of living. Seminole for "little spring," the city's name is a reference to the area's abundance of aquatic resources and landmarks. A plethora of attractions and waterfront homes make North Weeki Wachee a primary destination for resort-style living in Florida.

Moving to North Weeki Wachee

Places for rent in North Weeki Wachee primarily consist of single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums for lease. Most of these units are attractive, spacious and well apportioned with luxurious yards and front lawns -- suitable for large families or those looking into outdoor entertaining. As with many of the properties in the surrounding areas, vacant rentals may only be available on a seasonal basis--as they in many cases serve as summer residences for those residing in other regions. Due to the abundance of waterways, ponds and lagoons in the city, a large number of rentals can be found next to bodies of water.

The main thoroughfare through North Weeki Wachee is Commercial Way, which roughly bisects the city in two. Larger, more regal rental properties can be mostly found further inland, east of Commercial Way--some distance from the lagoons and ponds that dot the city's landscape, with many of these properties located in the neighborhood of Royal Highlands South. East of Commercial Way, many attractive single-family homes and condos can be found in the Glen Lakes Country Club vicinity, as well as along Mississippi Run and Lennox Boulevard. Some more affordable single-family rental homes are located in the southwest area of the city, near the Toscana Crossing Golf Club. Further south, one can find decent-priced rental homes in the Greater Hope Pond vicinity.
