The one issue that I have a real hard time with is that drive from Tampa to Orlando. Once you get close to Kissimmee (Disney) traffic is just terrible. That said, there is an offshoot that heads south towards Orlando Airport that looks like it makes it bearable. But doing on 4 East ... I sure don't like that one.

Looks like the drive is about 60 miles. First 40 miles, less than 35 minutes. Second 20 miles, at least another 35 minutes.

Looks like the 417 Toll Road goes to the Southern end of the Airport. That would probably save some time. Can't underestimate Disney. 5 lanes, bumper to bumper and stop and go!

Default Safety Harbor

You should look at Safety Harbor. TIA is just on the other side of 60 (causeway). Sounds like the perfect place for you. While you might be able to fond something in Westchase in that price range, I'm not sure why you want to be there in your situation. It is mostly suburban familes, with kids and not walkable. Safety Harbor is a quaint little town where you could walk to everything and many "empty nesters". It is actually closer than Westchase. We lived in both so this is personal knowledge. Just an idea.
