Since 1950, more than 90% of metropolitan population growth in America has taken place in the suburbs. Today, roughly 2 out of 3 people live in suburbs like Carrollwood. The Carrollwood Village suburban atmosphere offers winding roads, overhanging oak trees, abundant ponds with wildlife in and amongst the community subdivisions which are some of the features that appeal to Carrollwood Florida residents.
