US 41 is characterized by suburban shopping strips and franchise establishments with older development west of US 41 and vacant land east of US 41. No town centers are currently identified in the Apollo Beach community plan, but the plan proposes mixed-use town centers at Apollo Beach Boulevard and US 41, between US 41 and I-75, and other locations where appropriate. Additionally, the community plan proposes creating a special district for the Apollo Beach Boulevard corridor west of the commercial node at US 41 which will promote the town center concept. Community-serving facilities include Apollo Beach Elementary School, a fire station on Golf and Sea Boulevard, and a community post office.
