What Is Cambridge Cove Like?
Cambridge Cove is a gated, deed-restricted community of 68 homes in the Bloomingdale area of Valrico. The combination of gated privacy, proximity to the Bloomingdale Golfers Club (voted Tampa Bay's top golf course 10 years running), and homes ranging from 2,300 to nearly 5,000 sqft makes this community stand out. You do not have to be a golfer to appreciate the views and open-space buffer a golf course provides.
What Does the HOA Cover?
Mandatory HOA with low fees and no CDD. Maintains gated entry, common areas, and enforces deed restrictions. For a gated community, the fees are notably reasonable.
