Okeeheelee Park, one of the largest parks in South Florida, is less than 5 miles away from the neighborhood, with a wide variety of amenities to choose from. The park offers multiple sports fields and 8 miles of walking paths for residents to use. There is also plenty of lake space at the park for fishing and boating, and it is home to an on-the-water waterpark in the summer. “Locals visit there frequently during the day,” Gonzalez says, “it was my go-to park when I lived in the area.” Residents of the Victoria Woods community also have access to Victoria Woods Park, which is a popular spot for both its playset and tennis courts. More natural fun can be found at Pine Jog Environmental Education Center next to the elementary school of the same name. This 135-acre nature reserve offers classes and camps to those wanting to learn more about nature and local wildlife.

Almost all shopping and dining are done at Riverbridge Centere or Trafalgar Square, both of which are located at the southwestern end of the neighborhood. Here, locals can eat out at spots like Pete’s Place, which is “a really good breakfast/lunch restaurant,” Gonzalez says. Locals can also stop by local chains like Pollo Tropical, known for its Caribbean chicken and pork. Groceries are available at Supermercados El Bodegon or Publix. The neighborhood also has a Walmart next to the shopping center for big-box purchases.

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.
