Inside Cheval & Lutz: Gated Golf & Country Club Living

What buyers should know about Cheval's 24-hour guard gates, golf & athletic clubs, top Lutz schools, and village HOA rules.

Report Highlights

Cheval features several gated villages—including Cheval East and Cheval West—with 24-hour manned security gates and mature oak trees.
Residents can enjoy championship golf, tennis, fitness, and equestrian trails right inside the neighborhood.
Zoned for top-rated Hillsborough County public schools (McKitrick Elementary, Martinez Middle, and Steinbrenner High).

1. Convenient Location Along Lutz-Lake Fern

Located between Dale Mabry Highway and the Suncoast Parkway just north of Carrollwood, Cheval gives you quiet, guard-gated country club living with an easy 20- to 25-minute drive to Tampa International Airport and Downtown Tampa.

2. Reviewing Village HOA Rules Upfront

Because each village inside Cheval has its own HOA guidelines for roofs, paint colors, and fencing, we help you review the exact village rules and fees before you close.
