Transportation and healthcare in Cheval
Cheval is about 17 miles north of Tampa, via Interstate 275. The interstate then crosses over Old Tampa Bay into St. Petersburg, about 40 miles away. Florida State Road 589, also known as the Suncoast Parkway or Veterans Expressway, is easily accessible from Cheval. The 68-mile road extends from Tampa to State Road 44 near Lecanto. In the southeast section of the community is St. Joseph's Hospital-North, a 200-bed, full-service medical center run by BayCare Health System.
Heat, humidity and hurricane season
South Florida summers are hot and humid, and daily highs often hover in the 90s from May through October. Afternoon rains are frequent. Hurricane season, which begins in June and runs through November, brings the risk of heavy rains and damaging winds, though due to its inland location, Cheval is not directly impacted by storm surge. Hurricane Irma, in 2017, soaked the area with rain, but golf courses like TPC Tampa Bay quickly reopened.

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.
