Riverview is a small community, centrally located in Florida, east of Tampa Bay, southeast of Tampa, a little north of Sun City Center, and west of Lakeland and Orlando. We are just a short commute from the bigger cities, but just far enough away to keep our wonderful small town atmosphere. Riverview is about 30 minutes from the Tampa International Airport. The Alafia River runs quietly through Riverview and empties into the Hillsborough Bay. On the weekends you will find many of our Riverview residents out on the Alafia River enjoying the many activities a river can provide such as boating, fishing, skiing, canoeing, jet skiing, or just having a cookout at the Riverview Civic Center (located right on the river).
