Riverview Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Riverview is a mid-sized community located southeast of Tampa in the heart of Florida. Also considered a “Greater Alafia River Community,” Riverview is conveniently located just a short drive from many of Florida’s major cities, yet is far enough away to retain a quiet, small town atmosphere. The lovely Alafia River runs through the middle of town and empties into Hillsborough Bay and Tampa Bay. This provides an abundance of river recreational activities such as boating, fishing, canoeing, skiing, swimming, sunbathing and camping. The town of Riverview holds several special events throughout the year, including two golf tournaments, an annual Hog Roast & Silent Auction, and a Lighted Boat Parade. During this colorful event, boats decked out in holiday lights leave Williams Park and travel up the river to the Riverview Civic Center. Riverview is a progressive city with easy access to all of Florida’s tourist attractions via Interstate 75, Highway 301 and Crosstown Expressway. Its central location along with its warm hospitality has made Riverview a very popular place to live or to visit.
