Welcome to twelve oaks
Nestled in the heart of Town 'n' Country, Twelve Oaks is one of Tampa's most established and welcoming communities. Built in the early 1970s, our neighborhood has grown into a vibrant community of just under 1,000 homes, offering a unique blend of mature oak trees, spacious lots, and a true sense of neighborhood pride.
What truly sets Twelve Oaks apart isn't just the homes—it's the people. Neighbors know one another, families put down roots, and community involvement is at the heart of everything we do.
Throughout the year, residents enjoy a variety of community events that bring everyone together, including:
🌮 Monthly Food Truck Nights (Spring/Summer)
🎄 Holiday celebrations and seasonal events
🎃 Halloween activities for families
🚴 Bike parades and neighborhood gatherings
🎆 Fourth of July festivities
🌳 Community clean-up days and beautification projects
🤝 Civic meetings that keep residents informed and involved
Whether you've lived here for decades or are considering making Twelve Oaks your home, you'll quickly discover why so many families choose to stay. With an active civic association, dedicated volunteers, and neighbors who genuinely care about one another, Twelve Oaks offers something that's becoming harder to find—a true sense of community.
We're proud to call Twelve Oaks home, and we invite you to explore everything our neighborhood has to offer.
Upcoming Events
The 3rd Saturday in October is always a Big day for the Twelve Oaks community! Get your trash and treasures ready! Now is the time to bring out all those items that have worn out their welcome at your house and consider getting rid of them at the 39th Annual Twelve Oaks Garage Sale. What one person considers junk, another may consider a treasure. The sale will take place Saturday, October 17th. Classified ads will be placed in various newspapers and on social media advertising the event and signs will be posted throughout our community, all provided by TOCA. Now, all we need is YOU and your willingness to clean up, clean out, set up, earn some money, do some shopping, and meet your neighbors. Above all else, have some fun! MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW AND JOIN IN THE FUN. YOU MAY EARN SOME MONEY, MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS, AND FIND A TREASURE OR TWO YOURSELVES.
Important Message: Neither TOCA nor TOSD advocates the selling of alcohol during the Garage Sale. Any resident selling alcohol will be reported to the Sheriff’s Department. A person or business must obtain a Florida Alcoholic Beverage License in order to sell any kind of alcoholic beverage in the state of Florida. In addition one must obtain a permit from Hillsborough County. (Re: Hillsborough County Land Development Code: Sec. 6.11.11. Alcoholic Beverage Use)
Safety First: Don’t Let Anyone In Your House!
Not to use the bathroom (Direct them to the public bathroom at Publix.)
Not to try on clothes (Provide a tape measure.)
Not to use the phone (Do not give out your home number – if they want to contact you about an item at a later date, take their number instead. They know where you live.)
Watch your sale items! Yes, unfortunately, people shoplift at garage sales, too. It’s much safer to wear your money in a waist pack than to use a cash box that has to be watched and could be stolen.
Be safety conscious. Look for and remove any safety hazards in your yard and driveway. People can trip over hoses, sprinklers, etc.
Keep an eye on children and pets, yours and theirs
The Twelve Oaks Ladies Social Group will meet for lunch at Food & Beer (the former TGIFridays) at 11705 W.Hillsborough Ave on Monday, Aug 31st, 11:30 am. We would love for you to join us.

TOCA will be having our 3rd General Membership Meeting on Tuesday, Aug 25th at 7pm. Our meeting agenda is pending but we will be going over our plan for events for the year, discussing neighborhood concerns, and taking questions.
We would also like to Strongly request that anyone who would be interested in joining the Board or doing more volunteer work to attend this meeting. We have had some people decide to step down from the board in the last 2 years and we really need more community residents to step up and take a turn at keeping 12 Oaks one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Northwest Tampa. If you have any qustions, please email TwelveOaksGeneral@gmail.com
