About Lakemont, Valrico FL
Lakemont is an established single-family neighborhood in south Valrico (33596) that delivers something newer subdivisions struggle to match: character. Mature oak trees line the streets, canopies arch overhead, and the landscaping has had decades to fill in. The result is a neighborhood that feels settled and permanent rather than freshly stamped from a builder's template.
Homes range from approximately 1,500 to 2,600 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms. Most were built in the 1990s to early 2000s on standard subdivision lots, though some properties back up to community ponds and water features that provide lake-influenced views and a premium at resale. The neighborhood maintains a family-oriented atmosphere with low traffic, cul-de-sac streets, and a quiet residential feel.
Many Lakemont homeowners have invested in meaningful updates since original construction. Renovated kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, updated bathrooms, new flooring, and screened pool enclosures are common improvements. For buyers who want the Bloomingdale HS zone in a single-family home without the higher price tags of River Hills or the townhome format of Kings Mill, Lakemont hits a practical sweet spot.
