I’m a born and raised Floridian.. I can tell you a few things.. our home owners insurance here is on the brink of disaster.. dozens of big home owners insurance companies have left Florida, home prices have gone up 40% in the last 3 years. Most see that as a positive but a 2 bedroom home on Fowler ave sold for 225k when 3 years ago you might have got 80k for it.. but the good thing is if you need your crack you can buy it in your front yard….
It is called HURRICANES!
Glass half full kinda guy, nice. This is exactly what I've been looking for 👍
Crack is wack
@@justinminer1354, WC is being overwhelmed, you see 1 min drone shots of suburban blocks and think wow that's amazing . Mean while you don't see the miles of Apts and subdivisions EVERYWHERE. It takes 45 mins to drive any where at peak times or worse. The schools have been over run with the kids of illegals , 3 to 4 kids on school busses per seat , where your kid will eventually refuse to ride the bus to avoid the violence , a dozen fights or more are normal at the schools every day where the cultures crash into each other , tiktok is filled with the fight videos . Maybe come drive around I mean really drive around . Those subdivisions he mentions stretch from 54 to 52 they built a city of Apts and new neighborhoods and are now doing the same thing across the street on the same road. They are just building a grocery store out there and I think a Walmart. I'm not to positive bout this guys head count on people living there, the expansion on building hasn't stopped even though they voted for no more new building , but every where you go in WC you will see the Apts and new subdivisions, it's beyond tacky at this point
What do you mean on the brink??? ITS BEEN A CLUSTER F OF A WHOLE PROBLEM FOR TWO DECADES 🤣🤣🤣
Born and raised floridian here, raised in Zephyrhills, wesley chapel and tampa. It wasnt this bad several years ago before in influx of people started moving here. I loved it here because it was quite and rural and cheaper. Now its chocking the life out of me and cant even afford to live where i was born and raised. Now im being forced to look elsewhere to live or work my life away to afford it. What i loved most about it here is you can get anywhere in an hour, orlando, st pete, the beaches in any direction. Now traffic is so terrible and double what it was 3 years ago. I miss what tampa used to be. Sigh
I was born and raised in San Diego, it has been unaffordable to live near my family for 20 years. Traffic, forget about it. It is coming to every area near you.
I remember how it was. These yankees destroyed the area.
So do the Native Americans
I choose WC because for the price and distance it doesn’t get any better. For example I new build for $420k in WC vs a old house closer to the beach but much smaller home and probably needs at $20k-$40k on upgrades. Insurance for a new build is around $850/y vs a closer $4000/y and older house. Let alone the insurance is a good option. WC is not boring, if it’s boring its you not the place.
Completely agree. Just bought a new construction home in WC. Price & insurance was a consideration. So glad I made the move. Only downside is not being close to the beach. But I’m ok with the drive to St Pete Beach. Just can’t do it as often. It all depends on what’s important to you
Another super helpful video. Thank you!
I am moving back home to NYC later this week. Just miss the city vibe, walkability, and the change of seasons. I totally understand about the mall restaurants and shops. It's just not natural to me. Good luck in your new home.
I'm thinking about moving to Florida from NYC. How long did you live there if you don't mind me asking? Are there things you like better than NYC?
@leedclinton5026 What I like better is the relative ease of parking when out and about. I also will greatly miss my garage and in home washer and dryer. That's about it.
NYC? Hahaha
@@leedclinton5026 I've been here 20 years and after going on thanksgiving back to NYC from Harlem visiting friends and then going to midtown I couldn't believe how badly the city reverted back to the (more) dangerous and dirty 70s and 80s. that being said if you live off of public transportation it will take years to get used to if you've never owned a car if you love the hustle and bustle it'll be too boring (especially after 9pm) for you and again years to get used to also if you love the change of seasons yet again years to get used to the heat but for me I love the wide open spaces, I don't have to rent only an apartment I can rent a house, Fresh air, beaches, less crime, more family friendly places to go out and eat, theme parks (Yuck not Disney) and if you just want to relax with virtually almost nobody there are hundreds of places you can go to (just not alligator alley) to literally get away from it all.
@@leedclinton5026 Florida is just like Texas, Alabama, Georgia, etc. If you don't like guns, or anything "southern" for that matter - this place is not for you. We are the opposite of new york city politically and culturally. Not being disrespectful, but just telling you straight up. Many new yorkers have a hard time adjusting to this climate, because they want things to be like NYC. This is why NYers are the most hated group of people in FL, because they don't know how to acclimate. If you do end up moving down here, don't remind locals every 2 minutes that you're from new york and don't ever expect Florida to be like new york.
54 corridor is long. Whenever I have to drive to Tampa and Brandon, the stop and go down 54 getting to 75 tends to soak up most of the time.
I moved to Wesley Chapel in June … I love it bear. Being from Baltimore Co. , Maryland I am used to the commute times and didn’t want to be in the city , and all we need is close but still drive into Tampa for the gym and nightlife.
My friends moved to Wesley Chapel almost 8 years ago from Cincinnati. Their youngest kids finished high school there. From visiting I see why they want to move. It’s a distance especially with traffic to get to beaches, areas closer to Tarpon Springs or Homassassa.
Where are they wanting to move to?
With all the land available in Florida, why do they build houses so close to each other! I know the answer, but why do people accept this? This is a deal breaker for me. I need a house that has space!
Land available? Clearly you haven’t been in Florida in awhile..
There is so much land available! Of course you know the answer is $$$, but people also just accept it. We live on an acre now and can only see 1 other house out of 1 window. I love it
@@LivinginTampa Wow! Where is that?
There's a lot of people. So, while broadly speaking there IS land in FL, everyone wants to live close to some major town.
Also, undeveloped land in FL is more hostile than walking through the woods in the northeast. If you have a 5 acre back yard, a lot of it will be impassible wetland/brush and filled with critters who may not be friendly.
I grew up crawling through overgrown brush in the NE, but I don't dare do that down here.
Exactly. You can throw you neighbor sugar if they need it
We moved from Az to wesley chapel to be near my daughter & her family. She lives in Land O Lakes learned fast if you want shopping, restaurants & great medical care Wesley Chapel is for you. My neighbors are great so friendly & helpful. Understand beach is very important to most people but how often do you go to the beach with working & young children in outside activities? Guess if you are going to the beach every weekend then this isn't for you.
I moved and lived here for a year and a half. I loved it.
I heard a bunch of people have buyers remorse moving to Florida. They were saying they now have mandatory insurance for hurricanes for homeowners. Apparently all the insurance companies left Florida so there is now a monopoly and they were saying the insurance costs almost as much as the house monthly. Not sure I buy that, but who knows.
Our insurance went from 1000 a year to 3900….
@@shaneomack5018 wow that is a shocking increase!
@@dogegamer3288 yep.. not getting political but we have a governor who wants to ban books but not get involved in the insurance
Florida is great if you like sitting in your house all the time and maybe jumping in the pool. Other than that all there is to do is drive and eat and drive and shop and drive and spend money. Thats about it.
Insurance is a big problem! Mine went from 4,200 to 7,200 in 2 years. We were in an area that required flood insurance so that is one reason it was so high. We moved to a different place in the Tampa area and ours is now $1,900. There are a lot of factors. A lot of people make a lot of money to repair all the damage from a hurricane and the insurance companies are expected to get the bill. If I owned an insurance company, I would stay far away from Florida!
Native 4th Gen Florida guy here. With all the crap going on here now I’d never recommend moving to Florida.
Where is better?
Where is better?
@@marknewton6984 North Korea, is the best.
We have lived in Wesley Chapel for 21 years. We love it. It has changed a lot. There certainly is a lot more places to eat than Wiregrass mall. The biggest frustration is the infrastructure. They wait too long to build all the roads needed for all these people.
Everything is getting built in Fl. tons of new houses, apts, townhouses etc.. We see it everyday. The traffic is bad everywhere don't just blame Wesley Chapel depends on the day & time who doesn't sit in traffic at times? No matter where you go you can't avoid traffic I have been here 6 months figured that out fast. Remember the best teachers are parents, take time with them colors, abc's, writing & teach them, they want to learn why not spend time to do it. 30 min a day isn't hard. Many options with schools here.
Hey why did you move from New Port Richey? I still live here. Now 6 years from NJ
i moved from CT to NPR, FL in 2020 and i couldnt be happier with this location. I've had to take my daughter to school basketball games in wesley chapel and it felt very rural. inconvenient and quite lame tbh. there are some nice shops not too far both east and west of wesley chapel and i do see growth going on so, yes, it definitely depends on what you're looking for. i much prefer the coast line and being minutes from anything i need.
I’ve been to every market in Florida as a grocery delivery driver.Their building like crazy in every nook and cranny!!!…prices have to come down because most local workers wages can’t sustain these profit margins!!!
than move
I'm from NYC moving to Tampa Florida because i am a retired Army 100% disabled veteran, I need. warmer weather also I need to be close to the VA hospital.
We would love to help you!
I live on St Pete Beach and wouldn't have it ANY other way!
It is State Road 54 and S.R. 52. Not Highway. The roads here are overcrowded and cannot handle the traffic volume. There is no mass transit. There is no commuter rail. Pasco County Fire Rescue is overwhelmed and a lot of times are bomb barded with call volume. Both law enforcement and fire and ems are overwhelmed with the call volume. The emergency services are short staffed. Public health and safety are a real issue here. Pasco County is 878 sq. Miles. It is served by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Department, Pasco County Fire Rescue, Zephrhills Police Department, Port Richey P.D. & Port Richey Fire Department, New Port Richey P.D. & Fire Department.
mirada is 15 acres. 2x epperson which is 7.5
WC seems like it has some issues with lack of infrastructure.
Wesley Chapel and New Tampa was absolutely GORGEOUS and full of space in the 2000s. The influx of transplants from the northeast has destroyed this once pristine area. Sad what happened to it.
I’m born and raised in Dade City, went to middle school in Wesley Chapel back in the mid 90’s when it was orange groves!! I don’t like how all the northern folks have moved down here and populated the area!! Housing use to be very low, now it’s raised so high most people can’t afford it now!!
Tons of traffic, all my neighbors aren’t from Florida…. I hate living in Florida now, I would love to move out of the state!! Also I hate being on top of each other , you walk out the house and your neighbors is arm length away!!!
If your from up north please move to Hawaii or California, Florida is over populated already people!!!!
Trust me I know I live in Clearwater Florida
I agree about the artificial, suburban feeling there.
Also, what are you using to style your hair?
I mostly use a matte clay something that I buy from my barber. The brand is Oasis
@@LivinginTampa Thanks.
Why did you from tarpon springs? I own a property there
Downsides... what downsides?!? 😊
Lack of solid home owners insurance? State with the most uninsured motorist? Highway infrastructure that is 5 years behind schedule… I can go on if ya want
@@shaneomack5018still moving there 😂
@@DevineLoved you do you… get home owner/ renters insurance before you move here…hurricane season starts next month
@@shaneomack5018 what season is hurricane season ? i haven't decided yet i work from home so i can live any where in the state lol ! so what yall do for hurricane season vacate ? lol i want work life balance and i live in the north tired of snow ! lol
@@shaneomack5018 well i work from home so i can pretty much live any where what do u think about areas like Wimauma, FL ? do they catch hurricane strays ? i live up north we get hurricane season too but it's usually heavy wind and high end rain through out the months !
I deliver all over that place.... You coulda just left it at HOA's and Crappy Gate Guards 🤣🤣🤣🤟
ive been here for almost 50 years. it was paradise when i was a kid .the pasco sold out to developers and few choice family plots were sold .hundreds and hundreds of acres. nature was uprooted for cookie cutter stik piles. now it is a friggin disaster.
Personally, I loved Wesley Chapel when we visited last winter. Zephyrhills, Homasassa, all the other towns along the east coast felt overbuilt, overused run down, lacking architectural oversight and planning. It was refreshing to see well manicured lawns and landscaping and a sense that communities were being well designed.
If you wanted shorter travel times to Tampa you should have bought 20 years ago!
But I have no money to buy a house, I'm so poor I make a mugger cry, I'm on section 8 in New York City and i only pay $100 dollars for a 1 bedroom apt.
It sucks all these people are are moving here. Making the cost of living to up in Florida. Nothing I can do about. But I don't have to like it. And by the way just because you live in the Tampa Bay area doesn't mean you live in Tampa. I hear that all the time now.
Born floridian here. Your complaining about living over 40 miles from downtown Tampa, or any larger city and it takes you (based on your displayed map) around 45 minutes to get to downtown Tampa. What are you winning about? That is very good travel time. You're the one who decided to move that far out, away from any large city, or did someone force you there? Look at citys like Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami. At rush hour, it could take a good hour to go 15 to 20 miles. Then look at places like Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles where it takes around an hour to travel less than 10 miles by car. Then your winning about being able to drive at 60 to 65 mph to get somewhere. Snowflake, stop your winning, you're free to move elsewhere you want. We floridians are not going to stop you, or even try. So go.....
is depend what you looking
Looking to buy a $450,000 dollar house with pool.
Love your channel. My only criticism is your topics are a bit redundant. There are many different places in Hillsborough and Pinellas that you have not gone over. Helpfully we will see them reviewed soon.
What places do you have in mind? I would love to hear your priority list. Sometimes it is overwhelming to cover the area with the depth that I really want to
NPR is meth heaven. Good luck in that area bro.
What does NPR mean?
@@suyanalove103 New Port Richey
I thought you can not airbnb in Wesley Chapel area. Can you?
It really depends, would love to talk about it though! Let me know!
There’s plenty of WC areas you can STR.
You should absolutely move here and I can be your agent 😁
Excellent!! If I decide I have my Realtor.
Yeah and your 10% realtor fee, no thanks.
@@eddieBoxer well that goes to show how little you know about Real Estate
Y u gotta trash everything bro ?
As a black women I would not recommend moving to Wesley Chapel. I grew up there and It’s one of the most racist towns in Florida.
I'm a Floridian, borned, raised and always have lived (62 years) in the Tampa Bay area. If you hate it so much, your welcome to leave.
I cannot leave I have a warrant for my arrest, I'm ducking from the police.
@@eddieBoxer😂😂
Sounds like you want to live in Miami but don’t want to spend the money
No way. Miami is too loud for me
Ugh wesley chapel. The most uninspired area in Tampa Bay
Why lol
