Avila is considered the most prestigious neighborhood in the Tampa Bay area. The villas begin in the $250's and the huge estate homes are up to $4 million. Avila encompasses 705 acres, shaded by tall oaks and pines, punctuated by cypress-lined lakes. Avila features architecture varying from Tudor to modern, with lots still available to build. A guard-gated entrance with ivy-lined walls leads you down the picturesque tree-lined streets. The Avila country club offers a superior restaurant, exercise room, meeting and party rooms. Located nearby are the pool pavilion and tennis courts, and a new pro shop is adjacent to the private 18-hole championship course, redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. |
