Did you know that Valrico is listed as one of the top 100 places to raise a family?  A book written by Bert Sperling and Peter Sander titled:  Best Places to Raise Your Family: The Top 100 Affordable Communities in the U.S. was published in May 2006.  It mentions education/schools, economy, housing, safety regarding low crime rate, and more.  I actually purchase this book for all my "new families" moving here from out of state or at least coming from out of the area.  They've all loved it so far!  What a great way to tell them they picked the "right neighborhood" for their family!  :-) 05/08/2007
