What Is King Mills Like?
King Mills (also known as Kings Mill) is a gated townhome community of 159 homes built between 2004 and 2005 in Valrico. Located just off Highway 60, it offers one of the most affordable entry points into the Valrico real estate market. The median living area is approximately 1,513 square feet, and homes typically feature 2-3 bedrooms with attached garages.
The gated entrance provides controlled access and adds a security layer that appeals to young professionals, small families, and investors. The community is well-maintained with consistent architectural standards throughout — because all homes were built in the same 2004-2005 window, there is a uniformity to the community that keeps it looking cohesive.
What About the HOA?
King Mills has an HOA that covers the gated entry system, common area maintenance, and exterior standards. There is no CDD fee. The HOA maintains the community's curb appeal, which is important in a townhome setting where your property value is closely tied to the overall community condition.

What Should Buyers Know?
- Townhome considerations: Shared walls mean you will hear neighbors to some degree. Look at end units for less noise exposure. Check the HOA rules about noise, pets, and modifications before buying.
- Home age: Built 2004-2005, these homes are 21-22 years old. Check the roof condition, HVAC age, and water heater. Original systems from this era are at or past replacement age.
- Median sale price: At approximately $210K (2026), King Mills is one of the most affordable options in Valrico. This makes it attractive for first-time buyers and investors.
- Investor-friendly: The gated entry, low price point, and strong rental demand make King Mills popular with investors. Expect rental competition from other investor-owned units.
- Rentals: Townhomes in gated communities rent consistently. Expect $1,600-$1,900/mo. ViVi Property Management handles rentals in this area.
