About Cheval
Cheval is a master-planned, gated community in northwest Hillsborough County, tucked between Westchase and Lake Magdalene along the Veterans Expressway corridor. Built around Cheval Golf & Country Club and the adjacent TPC Tampa Bay course, the community draws golfers, executives, and families seeking privacy without sacrificing proximity to Tampa International Airport, Citrus Park Town Center, and International Plaza. Housing stock leans toward Mediterranean and Tuscan-style estates, custom pool homes, and villa-style residences across guarded enclaves such as Villa Roma, Cheval East Bordeaux, Biarritz Village, Bayonnes at Cheval, and Cheval Wimbledon Village. Mature oak canopies, curated landscaping, and winding lakes give the neighborhoods a resort-like consistency rare for the Tampa Bay area. Cheval attracts relocating professionals, empty nesters, and golf enthusiasts who want an established, amenity-rich address with quick highway access to downtown Tampa, Brandon, and the Gulf beaches beyond.
