Been here 3 months - 4/2/2010

Check the neighborhood GOOD before moving.. What seemed good on paper to us, turned out to be a cul-de-sac of bullies and clicks that refuse to accept new people. I'm not saying that all of Valrico is bad, I'm just giving a warning that if the deal is too good to be true, then it probably is.. [read more...]

It's a Very Individual Thing... - 9/28/2008

It's very hot and muggy in the long summers here, no denying it. However, the past two years (due to climate change?) we have had more clouds and slightly more moderate temperatures during the summer months. You learn, though, to go outdoors during the cooler parts of the day during summer, which runs from May through most of September. Women younger than 50 (premenopausal) have more difficulty with the heat than men, children and women over 50. The Tampa Bay area is also the lightning capital of the western hemisphere, and summer thunderstorms are frequent, but usually brief. Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th. However, fall, winter and spring are nearly perfect here, with brilliant blue skies, low humidity, nice breezes and very moderate (occasionally chilly) temps. We do get freezing temperatures at night here a few days each winter, with rare frost. Some people love the weather here; some hate it. I've learned to live with the summers, and I love the autumns, winters and springs, so I'm happy here. [read more...]

I love Valrico - 5/3/2008

We have lived here for 8 years and really love it. The climate is great and the sense of neighborhood is wonderful. My kids are very happy and well adjusted. One of the nice things about having kids graduate here is the Bright Futures Scholarship. There is just no reason why your child can't earn this if they work hard and apply themself in high school. It is a great program that makes college mostly free or at least very affordable.[read more...]
