Hi! I live in the Royals Hills subdivision in Plant City and love-love-love it. My eight-year-old son attends Bryan Elementary and is doing very well there. There are several houses for sale in this subdivision, and I believe most are under $250K. Ours is a small, thirteen hundred square foot, three-bedroom, two-car garage. Check out ziprealty.com and check by zip code for the locations you want to look at. It's free and has a lot of very nice features.
We're also under five miles from South Florida Baptist Hospital, and about 20 to 30 miles from more urban hospitals located in the Tampa / Lakeland area.
Good luck to you!
