Cheval is one of the neighborhoods in Tampa.
Cheval is a guard-gated community in Lutz, in northwest Hillsborough County, developed from 1989 through the early 2000s around two golf courses. The 2020 census counted about 12,500 residents in the Cheval census-designated place. Shane Vanderson works with buyers and sellers in Cheval from Engel & Völkers South Tampa, often with relocating buyers who want a gated golf community near the Veterans Expressway and Tampa International Airport.
Cheval sits north of Northdale and south of the Pasco County line, with staffed gates off North Dale Mabry Highway and Lutz-Lake Fern Road. The Club at Cheval anchors the east side with golf, tennis, fitness, and dining. TPC Tampa Bay, which opened in 1991 and hosted a PGA TOUR Champions event for 21 straight years, runs through the west side and takes public tee times. The Veterans Expressway is close, so Tampa International Airport and Westshore are a direct drive. St. Joseph’s Hospital-North is on Van Dyke Road.
Cheval is mostly single-family homes from the 1990s and 2000s, grouped in villages that differ by lot size and what the homes back to: fairway, pond, or conservation. Estate lots along Cheval Boulevard sit at the top of the range. Before you compare prices, confirm which side of the community a home is on. Cheval East and Cheval West have separate associations, and the West side has a CDD assessment on the property tax bill. Club membership is separate from both.
