What Is Crosby Crossings Like?
Crosby Crossings is a community of single-family homes built by Standard Pacific Homes (now part of CalAtlantic/Lennar) between 2007 and 2013 in Valrico. The community sits in a well-positioned pocket with access to both the Bloomingdale and Buckhorn corridors. Standard Pacific was known for solid construction quality and practical floor plans, and Crosby Crossings reflects that — no frills, no shortcuts, just well-built homes on reasonable lots.
Homes range from about 1,800 to 3,000+ square feet with 3-5 bedrooms and 2-car garages. Construction is concrete block with tile or architectural shingle roofs. The neighborhood has a mix of single and two-story plans, and most homes feature screened lanais and open-concept living areas. Streets are wide with sidewalks throughout.
What Are the Fees?
The HOA fee is approximately $140 per quarter ($47/month). There is no CDD fee. For a community of this age and quality, that is a very manageable carrying cost. The HOA covers basic common area maintenance and deed restriction enforcement. Pets are allowed.

What Should Buyers Know?
- Construction quality: Standard Pacific built solid homes. Concrete block with tile roofs from this era holds up well. That said, 2007-2013 construction means some homes are now 13-19 years old — check HVAC age, water heater, and roof condition during inspection.
- Insurance: Concrete block with tile roof gets favorable rates. Homes from this era may also have hurricane clips or straps that qualify for additional wind mitigation credits.
- Pricing: Crosby Crossings offers strong value per square foot compared to newer communities with CDD fees. The lack of CDD saves thousands over the life of your ownership.
- Rentals: Good rental demand in the Bloomingdale school zone. Expect $2,100-$2,700/mo for a 3-4 bedroom. ViVi Property Management handles rentals in this area.
