Ranch Road Groves

It's a good fit if you want larger homes and quiet streets with easy access to Tampa — downtown is about 27 minutes out. The neighborhood sits among established Valrico communities like The Willows and Somerset, and it draws families thanks to schools including Newsome High and Randall Middle. The pace is residential and settled rather than bustling.

It sits in a mid-to-upper range for Valrico, with the current active listing at $604,900 and homes selling at a median of $507,000 over the past year. At roughly $252 per square foot, you're paying for space and location rather than luxury finishes. Property taxes run a median of about $7,905 a year, which is worth budgeting for.

The median sold price over the last 12 months was $507,000, while the one home currently on the market is listed at $604,900. Expect around $252 per square foot for homes that median about 2,400 square feet. Because inventory is so thin, pricing can swing based on which specific home comes available.

It's a low-inventory market — only 7 homes sold in the past year and there's currently just a single active listing. Sellers are getting about 97% of asking, though homes take a median 88 days to sell, so pricing and patience both matter. Buyers should be ready to move when a well-priced home appears on the live map.

The median HOA here is a modest $39 per month, which is low compared to many gated or amenity-heavy Florida communities. Property taxes are the bigger line item, running a median of about $7,905 per year. Always confirm exact figures for a specific home, since assessments vary by lot and improvements.
