Spring Hill began in 1967 as a Deltona Corporation planned community and now holds more than 47,000 housing units in southwestern Hernando County. That many lawns, roofs and fences side by side give pests an easy path from one yard to the next.
Spring Hill has no city government. It is a census-designated place, unincorporated, where the 2020 census counted 113,568 people. The Deltona Corporation and the Mackle Brothers founded it in 1967, sold its lots through national advertising and reused the plans they had drawn for Deltona. A waterfall at Spring Hill Drive and U.S. 19 still marks the original entrance. Tampa lies about 40 miles south, a drive made easier when the Suncoast Parkway was finished in 2001.
The community belongs to Florida's Nature Coast, with Weeki Wachee Springs close by and Hernando Beach to the west. For our purposes two census figures matter more: a median age of 45.8, and about one resident in four aged 65 or older. We keep service simple, show you the problem first, and choose eco-friendly products where grandchildren and pets play.
