Carrollwood, Florida: A Beautiful Florida Getaway User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) I've been living in Carrollwood for a while now after moving here from Tampa.

For me, the best area of the city is the Main Street Shopping Center which is a pretty lively part of town. Since the weather is always comfortable, even in the winter, there is always something to do downtown. There's a lot of different restaurants, cafes, and bars to visit too, so you'll always have a new place to check out. Read Less
