About Temple Terrace
Temple Terrace is a small incorporated city northeast of Tampa along the Hillsborough River, founded in the 1920s as one of Florida's first planned golf-course communities. Its defining feature is the dense oak-tree canopy shading its streets, and the river gives the city a green, park-filled character unusual for an inner suburb. It sits minutes from the University of South Florida area, making it a convenient base for commuters who want a small-town feel close to the city.
