River Hills is a gated community in the southern part of Valrico built around the River Hills Country Club golf course. Homes here are generally larger — most are 2,000 to 4,000+ square feet — and sit on bigger lots than you'll find in the typical Valrico subdivision.
The neighborhood was developed primarily in the 1990s and 2000s, so the landscaping is mature with large oaks and well-established yards. The gated entry and country club setting give it a different feel from the more open neighborhoods nearby.
Golf club membership is optional — you can live in River Hills without joining the club. The course itself is well-maintained and the clubhouse hosts events and dining. There's also a community pool and tennis courts.
School zones here typically fall under Durant High School, which is just a few minutes east on Durant Road. For families, the combination of good schools, a gated community, and the extra space makes River Hills one of the more sought-after Valrico addresses.
One thing to know: HOA fees here are higher than average because of the gated entry and community amenities. And if you're on the golf course, you'll want to factor in potential golf ball damage and the restrictions that come with course-adjacent lots.
