The City of Hudson is situated at the northern tip of the Tampa Bay metropolis, bordered by the Florida Nature Coast to the north and the Suncoast cities of New Port Richey (10 min), Tarpon Springs (20 min), Clearwater (30 min), Tampa (40 min), and St. Petersburg (50 min) to the south.

Greater Hudson spans approximately 50 square miles in northwest Pasco County, with SR 52 marking its southern boundary, County Line Rd. to the north, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. To the east, it blends with Moon Lake, Land O’ Lakes, Shady Hills, and the new Suncoast Parkway without a fixed boundary. In the northwest, the tiny village of Aripeka is enclosed by Hudson.

The region is recognized for its expanding economy, mild winters, and charming downtown. Notably, it is part of the greater Tampa Bay area, featuring a skyline adorned with 1980s-era skyscrapers from Tampa, a significant cruise port, and scenic waterfront views.

Similar to many areas in Florida, Hudson is home to retirement communities, commercial fishing operations, and individuals from the Tampa area seeking a more relaxed pace of life. Accessibility is enhanced by the Suncoast Parkway and several major US interstates.
