Riverview is a quiet suburb located about 12 miles southeast of Tampa. Situated along the Alafia River, the community has the appeal of a close-knit, family community. This atmosphere remains, even while residential development is providing modern homes and population growth. Real estate options consist of condominiums, townhouses, modern and older homes, and land lots for custom building.
Big name attractions are close by, but far enough as to not upset Riverview’s serene lifestyle. Here, residents spend time enjoying the river: boating, swimming, fishing and canoeing are some of the popular activities. Residents – families who’ve lived in Riverview for generations and those who’ve recently realized the appeal of Riverview – are proud of the lifestyle offered by their community. The regular, year-round population of Riverview is about 42,000. Some estimates indicate that this number will grow by up to 60% by 2020. Riverview is a winter retreat for retirees, so the population increases substantially during the winter months. Retirees enjoy the quiet atmosphere and the convenient layout of the community.
