Ruskin real estate

Ruskin is a fast growing coastal community on the southeastern shore of Tampa Bay more specifically located on the entrance of the Little Manatee River and the Ruskin inlet. It is a unique and special part of Hillsborough County with ties to history, agriculture, education, arts and nature. Originally founded by Dr. George Miller & Albert Dickman of Illinois, their dream was to start the Ruskin College named after famous English art and social critic John Ruskin. Their hope was for students to study part time and be employed part time. By 1917, all able men had been drafted to the war and forced the women into cities for gainful employment. With no students and the war on, the college was forced to close. This area, today known as Ruskin, was under the Governance of the Ruskin Common good Society and sold its last piece of' property to Hillsborough County in 1970.

Ruskin has a protected harbor and offers a lifestyle of relaxation, recreation and quiet, easy living. Just 30 minutes from downtown Tampa and minutes from Brandon, Ruskin is a wonderful coastal Florida community with most affordable housing, endless recreational opportunities and a rich heritage.
