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
Primary counties are Hillsborough (Tampa) and Pinellas (St. Petersburg / beaches). If you're considering a move here and prefer urban areas - you can choose between downtown Tampa and downtown St. Petersburg. Housing ranges from luxury high rise condos to historic bungalows.
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.

If you're a spring training fan, three MLB teams train here including the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Philadelphia Phillies. For golf fans, the Valspar Championship is a professional golf tournament in Palm Harbor.
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.

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.

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.

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

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!

These vids. are very informative and insightful. I think it would be interesting to see a vid. with a primary emphasis on housing in select areas that may cater more to specific career professions as far as living within close work proximity. I am aware that there are a plethora of variables to consider such as location desired, budget, etc. but some general insight would be helpful to see. 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? Thank you

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.

I am looking to move to FL from NY really soon and torn between the Tampa Bay area and Orlando. This video was very informative. Are there a lot of manillas living in St. Pete? I'm so used to living in a diverse city with so many different cultures, how is it in St. Pete?

The job market is better in Tampa. Tampa is diverse for sure. I used to live in Tampa for over 12 years and I plan on moving back in 2022. St. Pete have a nice scenery but for me, I fell in love with Tampa.🥰

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!
