Tampa and Jacksonville: The Growing Markets
(1) Tampa Florida Temple: under construction. Groundbreaking August 23, 2025 (presided over by Elder Neil L. Andersen). Located in Riverview, southeast of Tampa. Approximately 29,000 square feet. The Tampa Bay area has a significant LDS population spread across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando counties. Tampa median home prices $380K-$450K (2025, off pandemic peaks). (2) Jacksonville Florida Temple: under construction in Jacksonville. Approximately 29,000 square feet. Jacksonville is Florida’s largest city by land area with a significant and growing LDS community. Jacksonville median home prices $280K-$340K — one of the more affordable Florida metro markets.
North Florida LDS: Mission Field Character
North Florida LDS communities have mission field character: wards are typically smaller than Utah equivalents, temple drives were previously long (Fort Lauderdale for South Florida members, or Atlanta for North Florida). The Tallahassee Temple has dramatically changed this. Members who drove 4-6 hours round trip to a temple now drive 20 minutes. The temple’s presence concentrates LDS community energy in North Florida in ways that will reshape neighborhoods and ward boundaries over the next decade.
Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
“North Florida is where the LDS real estate story is being written in real time. Three temples — dedicated, under construction, and under construction — in a region that had essentially no temple access for decades. The families who buy near the Tallahassee Temple today are establishing the community that will define North Florida LDS life for the next generation.”
