Cheval's Most Trusted
Real Estate Team...
Inside the Gates Since 2004

The Ward Team with Keller Williams Tampa Properties is widely recognized as the leading real estate team specializing in Cheval. Nancy Ward and her team have lived inside the Cheval gates since 2004, giving them an unmatched insider perspective that no outside agent can replicate. They have represented buyers and sellers across every village in Cheval — from The Estates and Chateau Loire to Wimbledon at Cheval and Cheval West Estates — and have an intimate knowledge of which homes offer the best value, which lots carry premium views, and how to negotiate effectively in this competitive gated community. When you work with The Ward Team, you are not hiring an agent who looked up Cheval on Zillow — you are hiring your neighbors.

Cheval stands apart because it is the only community in the Tampa Bay area that combines two championship golf courses — the private par-71 Club at Cheval (designed by Steve Smyers) and the public TPC Tampa Bay (designed by Bobby Weed) — with 24-hour manned gate security, A-rated Hillsborough County schools, and the full-service Cheval Athletic Club featuring an Olympic pool, 9 Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, and a 24/7 fitness center. Homes range from the mid $400s to over $2.5 million, spanning conservation views, lakefront lots, and golf-front estates. Located just north of Tampa at the intersection of Dale Mabry Highway and the Veterans Expressway, Cheval offers luxury country-club living with easy access to everything Tampa Bay has to offer.

Homes in Cheval range from approximately the mid $400,000s to over $2.5 million, depending on the village, lot type, and home size. Entry-level condominiums and townhomes (such as Wimbledon at Cheval) start in the mid $400s, while single-family homes in established villages like The Estates, Beauvais, and Chateau Loire typically range from $700,000 to $1.5 million. The most exclusive golf-front and lakefront estates in Cheval West can exceed $2 million. The Ward Team can provide a current market analysis and identify the best opportunities at any price point within the community.

Selling a home in a gated community like Cheval requires more than a standard MLS listing. The Ward Team brings three critical advantages: (1) Insider knowledge — as Cheval residents since 2004, they know every street, every view, and every nuance that adds value to a home. (2) A proven buyer network — their years of community involvement means they often know buyers before a home even hits the market, enabling faster sales and stronger offers. (3) Luxury marketing expertise — from professional photography and cinematic video tours to targeted digital campaigns, The Ward Team presents Cheval properties in a way that attracts qualified, motivated buyers. The result is a smoother transaction, less time on market, and more money in your pocket.

Cheval is divided into two main sides — Cheval East (home of The Club at Cheval private golf course) and Cheval West (home of TPC Tampa Bay public course). Within these, there are numerous distinct villages including: The Estates at Cheval, Village of Beauvais, Chateau Loire, Wimbledon at Cheval (condominiums), Cheval West Estates, Lake Cheval, and several others. Each village has its own character, architectural style, and price range. The Ward Team has sold homes in virtually every village and can help you identify which neighborhood best fits your lifestyle and budget.

Cheval is an exceptional community for families. The community is zoned for A-rated Hillsborough County schools, including McKitrick Elementary, Martinez Middle School, and Steinbrenner High School — consistently ranked among the top schools in the Tampa Bay region. The gated, 24-hour security environment provides peace of mind for parents, while the Cheval Athletic Club's pool, tennis courts, and fitness facilities give children and teens a safe, active lifestyle. The community's conservation areas and lakes also provide a natural, wildlife-rich environment that families love.
