What Makes Bloomingdale Stand Out in Valrico
Bloomingdale is one of the largest and most established communities in Valrico, FL, spanning multiple sections across Hillsborough County. Developed primarily from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, Bloomingdale features a mature, tree-lined streetscape with a mix of single-family home styles — from ranch-style builds to two-story stucco and block construction. Lot sizes range from standard quarter-acre parcels to oversized half-acre homesites in some of the older sections.
Home Prices and HOA Details
Homes in Bloomingdale typically sell between $350,000 and $500,000, depending on square footage, lot size, updates, and which section of the community the home sits in. Most sections within Bloomingdale have an HOA with modest annual fees (generally $200–$500/year) that cover common area maintenance and community upkeep.
Schools Near Bloomingdale
Families are drawn to Bloomingdale for its strong school zoning. The community feeds into A-rated schools including Bloomingdale Senior High School, Burns Middle School, and Alafia Elementary. Access to top-rated Hillsborough County schools is one of the biggest reasons buyers choose this neighborhood over others in the area.
Shopping, Dining, and Parks
Bloomingdale sits near the intersection of Bloomingdale Avenue and Lithia Pinecrest Road, putting residents minutes from Publix, Walmart, Target, and dozens of restaurants along the Bloomingdale corridor. Alafia River State Park and Lithia Springs Park are short drives east — perfect for kayaking, hiking, and mountain biking. The community also has its own neighborhood parks and walking paths.
Why Buyers Choose Bloomingdale
Buyers pick Bloomingdale for the combination of A-rated school zoning, mature landscaping, and a price point that delivers real value compared to newer construction. The community has a settled, neighborhood feel with sidewalks, street lights, and an established sense of community. It is close enough to Brandon and I-75 for easy commuting but far enough east to feel like you are away from the congestion.
