| | Valrico Real EstateHistoric Natural Charm of FloridaFew areas can boast as much historic natural charm as Valrico. Valrico's name is Spanish for "Valley of Gold", and the community was settled by boom-era hopefuls in the 1880's. To this day, tree-lined streets, still in their original arrangement and unharmed by the area's growth, take residents and visitors through a beautiful community offering both single-family homes and a few condominiums and townhomes. Residents of Valrico enjoy the familiarity and peacefulness of a small town without losing access to metropolitan conveniences. With both county roads and Interstates running through the community, residents are just a 15-20 minute drive from Tampa's excellent dining, shopping, and entertainment. For even more great shopping, Brandon Town Center and the Ellenton Outlet Mall are within 30 minutes of Valrico, as is the Tampa International Airport. Nearby Alafia River and the Gulf of Mexico offer a host of water recreation, from kayaking to surfing, and the dozens of area golf courses are sure to be an avid golfer's delight. For those who appreciate, and wish to live surrounded by, Florida's flora and fauna, nature trails abound throughout Valrico. Located in the Hillsborough County school district, Valrico also boasts excellent schools, with new schools opening frequently as the community grows. Local universities include the University of Tampa, the University of South Florida, and Hillsborough Community College's four locations. Though central to everything the Tampa area has to offer, Valrico's finest offering is sure to be the elegant vintage value of the community, in which two citrus groves still operate, and the historic civic building is home to the Village Players Theatrical Company.
