What Is Legends Pass Like?
Legends Pass is about as small as a named subdivision gets in Valrico just 28 single-family homes on a single street, built between 2003 and 2004. The community is essentially a cul-de-sac pocket where neighbors know each other and through traffic does not exist. If you want a quiet, intimate neighborhood where your kids can play in the street without worry, Legends Pass delivers that in a way that 300-home master-planned communities never will.
Homes here are substantial, mostly 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 to 3-car garages, ranging from about 2,400 to 2,900+ square feet. Construction is concrete block with tile roofs. Floor plans are open concept with screened lanais, and many homeowners have added pools and upgraded outdoor living spaces over the years. For the size of home you get, the price per square foot is very competitive.
What Are the Fees?
The Legends Pass Homeowners Association was established in 2001. HOA fees are approximately $400 per year that is roughly $33/month, which is among the lowest in Valrico. There is no CDD fee. The HOA covers basic common area maintenance and community standards. Pets are allowed. With only 28 homes contributing, the community keeps costs lean.

How Does Legends Pass Compare?
- Abbey Grove (0.5 miles): Similar concept, small, quiet, low HOA. Abbey Grove has 69 homes (still small) with slightly smaller homes (1,900-2,400 sqft). Same school zone.
- Duncan Groves (0.5 miles): Another small community, similar vintage. Comparable home sizes and school zoning.
- Arista (1 mile): Gated, Taylor Morrison, larger homes. Higher price point but added security and more exclusive feel.
- Somerset (1 mile): 599 homes with resort amenities. Completely different scale and lifestyle. More neighbors, more amenities, higher HOA.
What Should Buyers Know?
- Limited inventory: With only 28 homes, a listing in Legends Pass is rare. If you want to buy here, set up alerts and be ready to move fast when something comes available. Homes in small communities with good schools do not sit on the market long.
- Construction age: 2003-2004 build means homes are 22+ years old. Inspect the roof underlayment, HVAC (likely on second unit), and water heater. Tile roofs from this era should have life left in the tiles but the underlayment underneath may need attention.
- Resale pricing: Few comparable sales in a 28-home community. Your agent needs to pull comps from similar vintages and sizes in surrounding neighborhoods (Abbey Grove, Duncan Groves, etc.) to price accurately.
- Rentals: Buckhorn Elementary zoning creates strong rental demand. Expect $2,400-$2,900/mo for a 4-bedroom. ViVi Property Management handles rentals in this area.
