Bloomingdale

A tree-canopied, golf-course community in eastern Hillsborough County near Brandon and the Alafia River

Overview

Bloomingdale is an established community in eastern Hillsborough County, developed beginning in the 1980s around Bloomingdale Golfers Club and a network of connected subdivisions. Because it's one of the older planned communities in the Brandon area, its oak-lined streets and mature landscaping set it apart from newer, more open developments nearby.

The community sits close to the Alafia River, which gives residents relatively easy access to Alafia River State Park and the natural areas along the river corridor, alongside the everyday convenience of Brandon's retail and dining just up the road.

Legacy Real Estate Associates is based in Bradenton and represents buyers and sellers across the Tampa Bay area, including Bloomingdale. We work with clients relocating for work or family, as well as longtime residents preparing to sell a home they've owned for years.

Location

Bloomingdale sits in eastern Hillsborough County, southeast of Brandon and near the Alafia River, with Bloomingdale Avenue, Bell Shoals Road, and Providence Road as its main corridors. It's positioned for access to both Interstate 75 and the Selmon Expressway extension into Tampa.

Questions

Bloomingdale FAQ

Does Legacy Real Estate Associates have an office in Bloomingdale?
No. Legacy is based in Bradenton and represents buyers and sellers throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Bloomingdale, as part of our Southwest Florida practice. We regularly work with clients relocating to eastern Hillsborough County as well as residents selling long-held homes.
What makes Bloomingdale different from newer Hillsborough communities?
Bloomingdale was largely built out starting in the 1980s, so its trees and landscaping are more mature than in newer subdivisions elsewhere in the county. Buyers who want an established, shaded streetscape rather than a newly constructed one tend to be drawn here.
Is Bloomingdale a gated or golf-course community?
It's not gated, but it is organized around the public Bloomingdale Golfers Club, and many homes back up to the course. Golf-course frontage is worth confirming for any specific property, since not every section of Bloomingdale borders the course.
What should sellers of an older Bloomingdale home consider?
Given the age of much of the housing stock, buyers will often ask about the roof, HVAC, and other major systems early in the process. We help sellers get ahead of those questions so the home shows well and is priced appropriately for its condition.
