Bloomingdale started as a simple Florida settlement in the late 1840s, blossomed into a bedroom community in the 1960s and virtually exploded in the 1980s with the construction of 4,000 homes centered around a brand-new golf club. Today the neighborhood thrives thanks to a strong sense of community strengthened by regular events that include everything from street clean-ups to holiday gatherings to charity food drives. “We just have great neighbors. Everyone is friendly. It’s a little shiny spot,” says Suzy Watts, Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association president. “I don’t know how I got so lucky. I'm just thankful."

Visit the Bloomingdale Golfers Club
The Bloomingdale Golfers Club is a highly-rated, 18-hole championship course that stretches for more than 7,000 yards, with 100-year-old oaks and pine trees creating a scenic environment for all skill levels to practice their swing or catch up with friends on the fairway. Golfers can stock up at the pro shop or fill up at the on-site pizzeria. Fresh air can also be found at a handful of local parks. Pickleball players can challenge their friends at Bloomingdale East Park, which also has basketball and volleyball courts along with a playground for little ones. Bloomingdale West Park has similar amenities and a community center as well. For recreational neighborhood programs, events and organized sports, the Campo Family YMCA and the Bloomingdale Sports Complex are the places to be.

Local events hosted by the Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association
Bloomingdale’s longstanding and highly active neighborhood association is responsible for hosting many of the regularly scheduled neighborhood events. Thanks to the Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association (BMA), children enjoy visits from Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny every year, and have access to scholarships when they get older. Outstanding residents are recognized by the neighborhood association for the best yard, most improved home and more. The BMA is also responsible for the Bloomingdale Gazette, a longstanding monthly newspaper that was first printed in 1980. A community staple ever since, the Gazette is kept alive by the contributions of residents.
The Bloomingdale Neighborhood Association has produced the monthly neighborhood newspaper, the Bloomingdale Gazette, for 34 years running.

Grocery and dining available at Bloomingdale Square
The neighborhood’s impressive collection of amenities also includes shopping and dining. “Within walking distance (of my home), there is a YMCA, two breweries and a baseball park,” says Watts. “Across the street, there are three grocery stores and another four restaurants.” Residents have access to multiple Publix grocery stores along with a Fresh Market and multiple restaurant opportunities. The Shoppes at Lithia, Lithia Crossing and Bloomingdale Square are filled with an abundance of eateries that offer everything from convenient brunch spots to popular Florida favorites serving steak, sushi and Thai. “We have everything we need here,” says Watts.

Hop on Highway 60 and Highway 301
Bloomingdale is affected by moderate flood risks and an extreme wind factor risk according to Risk Factor. The community has a strong support system to deal with hurricane damage recognizable from the magnitude of volunteer efforts in the wake of Hurricane Ian in the Fall of 2022. “Neighbors came around with equipment from other subdivisions, and people were just helping people without knowing each other,” Watts says. Locals are only a few minutes away from Highway 60 and Highway 301, which head northwest toward Downtown Tampa, just 17 miles away.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
