Bloomingdale is one of the biggest master-planned communities in the Valrico/Brandon area. Most homes were built between the early 1980s and mid-1990s, so you'll see a range of styles — from smaller ranch homes to larger two-story colonials. Lot sizes are modest by today's standards but generous compared to newer construction.
The community is known for its network of trails, playgrounds, and common areas maintained by the Bloomingdale Community Association. The former Bloomingdale Golf Course has been a topic of local discussion for years — it closed and the land has been going through the redevelopment process.
Schools are a big draw. Bloomingdale High School is right in the community, and elementary-age kids attend Bloomingdale Elementary or Cimino Elementary depending on where in the neighborhood you are. Randall Middle School serves the area.
Location-wise, Bloomingdale sits right along Bloomingdale Avenue with quick access to the Selmon Expressway for commuters heading into Tampa. Shopping along Bell Shoals Road and Bloomingdale Avenue is within a few minutes of most homes in the community.
Expect HOA dues in most sections — they're typically reasonable and cover the common areas and community amenities. Homes here tend to price below newer construction in the area, which makes Bloomingdale popular with first-time buyers and families looking for more square footage per dollar.
