Named after the temple oranges that originally graced the rolling terraces, the City of Temple Terrace has been amazing residents and visitors since 1925 when it was promoted as Florida’s first golf course community. Today, Temple Terrace captures a small-town lifestyle with urban amenities in an ideal setting – one of the region’s best kept secrets. Generations of families and new residents of all ages and cultures embrace the closeknit, traditional hometown spirit of Temple Terrace. Historic Mediterranean Revival homes from the 1920s intermingle with more modern homes and apartments along tree-canopied streets to provide a variety of housing for all lifestyles.
