About Riverview
Considered a suburb of it’s larger neighbor to the north, Brandon, Riverview lies just east of Interstate 75 in Hillsborough County; as the crow flies, some 10 miles southeast of downtown Tampa.
As its name implies, life in Riverview is about life on the river. The Alafia gently bisects the community from southwest to northeast; Alafia being an old Indian word meaning River of Fire, reflecting how the high phosphorus content of the water gave rise to strangely soothing shimmers of light beneath the surface.
Riverview Real Estate
Riverview today is a unique patchwork of rural-and not. It feels like yesterday and today. You’ll find acreage next to a tightly packed subdivision-seas of beautiful sun-bleached stucco on Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes.
Great bargains can be had in the Big Bend area, where well worn, older homes that have seen better days share land with shiny, new models that will, in time, follow in older neighbor’s footsteps.
Residential communities are popping everywhere: Caterpillar diggers and bulldozers and dump trucks are common sights on the roads. And home prices are still fairly reasonable: it’s been said that Riverview is one of the last affordable places within the Tampa/St.Pete/Bradenton/Sarasota region.
