People & Lifestyle

In Riverview, residents live for convenience and fun. They enjoy a more low-key lifestyle by choosing to live away from the hustle and bustle of Tampa, while simultaneously benefiting from its proximity. Still, the neighborhood is upbeat with its own collection of things to do both indoors and outdoors, and the people of Riverview are sure to take advantage of it. People move to Riverview from all over, so you can expect to meet residents from every walk of life—from young professionals to families. An overwhelming number of residents own their homes, so there is a nice sense of community with people who have chosen to plant roots here.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

You’ll be pleased to find an array of warm and inviting restaurants and hot spots throughout Riverview. Winthrop Community & Town Center is a popular strip of shops and a local gathering center that offers “not only the shopping needs of daily life, but all of the needs, such as medical, education, events, and housing of all types.” This community-based haven has ten charming and delicious eateries, state-of-the-art apartments, and vibrant event venues where they put arts and culture front and center. Hungry for good food with a little bit of thrill? The riverside joint Aj’s on the River regularly hosts live music. Looking for a savory and filling meal? Datz is an American eatery that serves delicious and sustainable dishes, ranging from gnocchi to shrimp and grits. Its modern and fabulous dining room has gorgeous veranda tables and an open floor plan. They even serve freshly-squeezed mimosas during brunch on the weekends!
