Moving to Tampa / St. Petersburg? Sharing lots of helpful information from things to do, where to live, cost of living, job opportunities, and more.
WHERE TO LIVE

Other communities throughout the area include Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Hyde Park Village, Seminole Heights, and Ybor City.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
The Tampa Bay area is home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies such as: Tech Data, Publix, Jabil, WellCare, and Raymond James.
Other companies with a presence here include: Bloomin' Brands, Citigroup, Humana, USAA, JP Morgan Chase, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Progressive Insurance, Mosaic & HCA West Florida.
There are endless opportunities here for anyone in healthcare, education, and the service industry.
YEAR ROUND ACTIVITIES
From beaches to water activities including boating, fishing, kite surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and scuba diving.

Tampa has hosted big sporting events such as the Super Bowl, NCAA Women's Final Four, NHL All-Star Game & College Football National Championship.
TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - consistently ranked one of the top in the nation.
www.tampaairport.com/
COST OF LIVING
The Tampa Bay area is very affordable in comparison with other cities in Florida. Our average housing costs are lower, and transportation is reasonable. Florida in general is an expensive state for all types of insurance, but at least you're not paying state income tax here!
The Tampa Bay area is one of the fastest growing regions in the country for all of the reasons I listed above, and so many more that I haven't gotten to yet!
If you're moving here and need help finding a home - please give me a call! I'm happy to help you.

Moved to ZPH back in 75, born in Miami. Land was inexpensive $4,500 for 5 acres. High and dry ,never flooded, just cleared the 5 acres next door. So the total yard is 10 acres total, all fenced in with large oaks, and a 2800 square foot home with pool. Just worked hard for it, just like we all do. Now the mobile Homes park's have made insane offers of this 10 acres. But we're do you move to, but we will sell out one day. Like your videos, just keeping it simple. We just turned 70, my need some help with the sale, when we are ready. Thanks for all the great information. Don

I just got home from Tampa after surgery at the Norman Center, Memorial Hospital. I loved Tampa. I was there for 3 days. I loved the downtown area and Water Street. The convention center is awesome as is the new Marriot near Amelie Arena. I hit the Whole Foods store just west of downtown and it was the best one I've ever seen. You also have Wawa food markets there and being from Philadelphia I liked that for morning coffee and gassing up the car. Can't wait to go back for a real vacation.

You are a good ambassador for Tampa - beautiful, upbeat and proud of all that Tampa offers. I have never experienced Gasparil.a, so would like to see what it is all about. Would have been right before the Super Bowl this year, so a couple weeks of celebration in Champions Bay. If you feel up to it, a video about some of the new developments and transit plans for Tampa Bay would be interesting to me. There have been some great new additions since I was there in Tampa, and more on the way. I did not know the Water Street development is being spearheaded by the Bolt's owner. Things are going great for him - 2 Stanley Cups, and a huge spectacular development in the offing!

For example; Which area may be more conducive for a graphic designer without a family with an interest in living in a loft style housing or modern style apartment may consider looking into?

This was such an amazing video and has me so excited about the possibility of moving to the area! I've been saying for years that I belong in Florida because I love warm weather and the sun and where I live we barely get summer anymore. It's taken a toll on me mentally and physically so I'm more committed than ever to move just so I can have a better quality of life. I did some research and the Tampa Bay Area seems ideal for me. I'm working on planning a trip there some time this year (I'm trying to determine the best time to go). I think my biggest concern is finding a job because I fear that when employers see that you currently live out of state, they're unlikely to even read your resume 😞 But, nonetheless, your video was very encouraging!

Depending on your career, good luck finding a job with decent pay. I went through 4 layoffs in 5 years probably would have gone through my 5th layoff if I would stayed at my last job in Tampa. It took me 7 years to get out of entry level pay and rents are expensive if you want to live in (a decent area, not the ghetto) in Tampa. I was born and raised in Tampa for 33 years. Tampa has had growth since I left though, but the job market isn't great, depending on your field. This video gives you all the highlights, not the reality of living in Tampa. I will agree that Tampa Airport is the best airport I have ever been in.

Thank you! I was looking for this info....I want to move to Florida from Los Angeles. I am inquiring about to become an educator there.I love you mentioned the school district I have to subscribe so you will keep us informed. An Air Force Officer told me about Tampa. Is Saint Petersburg close?

HI Sandra! St. Pete is just across the Bay for Tampa. Depending on where you live it can take between 20-60 min to get there!

This video made me want to go to Tampa as I'm writing this, lol. I live in Orlando, but never really gone to Tampa to visit for more than a few hours. Next time I'm gonna stay for a week at least. What hotels do you recommend that are in the heart of everything you mentioned. Thank you

HI Juan! Yes, come for a visit. Spend a couple days at the beach...tons of hotels there! Then spend a night or two in Downtown St. Pete...The Vinoy, if you have deep pockets...then come across the Bay and spend a night or 2 in Downtown Tampa. The Marriot Waterside, the Embassy, Hilton Downtown, or the Westin on Harbour Island. All will get you close!
