Trinity is almost entirely comprised of named neighborhoods and gated communities. Heritage Springs is a large 55+ community with golf, tennis and more. Streets meander around small lakes, and many homes back to water. Cul de sacs are common, and homes range from Mediterranean styles to modern four squares with clean lines. Trinity has no downtown, but residents have three groceries, a Walmart, a Target and more in which to shop. Westfield Citrus Park, a mall with national retailers, is 20 minutes away. Better chain restaurants are the norm. There is one golf course, with another four within a five mile drive. Fire and police services are provided by the county.

Thick and overgrown, 8,300-acre Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park is just five miles to the north and has bicycle trails, equestrian paths, fishing lakes, primitive camping sites and wild animals.

Florida:

Named Pascua Florida by Juan Ponce De Leon, the Sunshine State did not enter the Union until March 3, 1845. Balmy mild winters began attracting snowbirds to the state in the late 19th century. Retirees continue to flock to the state. It's not hard to see why tourism has become the leading industry.

International trade and citrus are also major contributors to the state's economy. Eighty percent of the nation's oranges and grapefruits are grown here, and 40 percent of all U.S. exports to Latin America flow through Florida.

Florida's landscape includes uplands and coastal plains. It contains more than 11,000 miles of waterways and about 4,500 islands spread across 10 acres.

The state has 1,250 more golf courses than any other state in the Union. The 47 mile Pinellas Trail is the longest urban trail on the east coast. Orlando theme parks attract more visitors than any other theme parks in the U.S. The only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles co-exist is in National Everglades Park.

Florida, particularly the Keys and the Gulf Coast, were struck by Category 4 Hurricane Irma in early September, 2017. Towns will rebuild, perhaps this time with climate change in mind, making them safer and better equipped to handle major hurricanes going forward.
