Local landmark
Town 'n' Country began as a dairy farm. In 1958, builders LaMonte-Shimberg bought the Webb family's 525-acre farm near Hillsborough Avenue and Memorial Highway and made it one of Tampa's first suburban communities. Over the next 20 years they built nearly 8,000 homes and townhomes, and the community grew to more than 2,000 acres.
Today locals know it for the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, a paved path of more than 11 miles that runs north through the area. Its century-old Rocky Creek Bridge was replaced and reopened in June 2025. Part of Tampa International Airport even sits inside Town 'n' Country's boundaries, and Rocky Creek and Sweetwater Creek wind through its neighborhoods.
Most of those LaMonte-Shimberg homes are concrete block ranches on slabs, now 45 to 65 years old. Homes from this era often have cast iron drains under the slab and galvanized or early copper water lines. Later homes may have polybutylene. And after several decades of Florida summers, ductwork and AC systems have usually been patched more than once.
Know your neighborhood
Short answer: Town 'n' Country homes often have cast iron drains under the slab, aging galvanized or copper water lines, slab leaks, worn-out original ductwork, AC systems replaced several times on old duct layouts, and salt air near the bay in Rocky Point and Bay Port Colony.
