- Опубліковано 26 тра 2023
- If you are Moving to Tampa Florida in 2023, this video is a much watch for you! With Tampa's recent growth, I wanted to fill you in on what you need to know before living in Tampa Florida.
Over the past week I was actually looking for data that would tell me where everyone was moving from and to in 2023 and I stumbled across an article that Forbes put out naming Tampa as the #1 best place to live in Florida. I continued down that rabbit hole and later came across an article by TIME ranking Tampa as one of the greatest places in the World in 2023. Not the state, not the country, but in the world and so its my duty to share with you an update about what’s going on in 2023. Let’s dive into why Tampa’s location is prime, housing, the lifestyle here and why people are wanting to move to Tampa Florida in 2023. So stay tuned.
If you are thinking of moving to Tampa and want to discuss neighborhoods, home options or when might be the right time for you to buy a home, reach out to my team and we would be glad to help!

![Why Are People STILL Moving To Tampa Florida [And Some Looking To LEAVE]](/img/tr.png)
You're the man Adam, always keeping us informed of the latest and greatest in the area!
I appreciate that. Tampa is an amazing city and I’m happy to share it with you! Hopefully I continue to grow and have better content to share. I’m confident I will!
@@TampaFloridaLivingi see why Florida got the most expensive home insurance in America most the insurance company are leavin Florida due to bad weather like hurricane………hey when a hurricane destory tampa,Florida im gonna sit in front of my 75 inch tv smokin my California recreational marijuana and im gonna laugh my ass off and your is gonna make another UA-cam video about how not to move to Tampa Florida because of a hurricane 😄
@@TampaFloridaLivingif the hurricane destory your damn house i hope your ass got home insurance and if u dont your ass is really fucked this is why so many insurance companies are leaving Florida they dont wanna deal with another bad weather like the hurricane
Honest opinion: Tampa is okay. That’s it. Once you get over the initial touristy things to do, it’s nothing new. Been down here thirteen years and outside of the Riverwalk, some breweries and countless new restaurants that come and go, there is nothing to do. Ikea is packed on the weekends when it’s hot because it’s just not enough to do on a super hot day besides shop or eat. Hardly any decent museums. If your used to good shopping and edgy style and fashion like up north or LA, this is not your place. Pinellas doesnt offer much either including St Pete. It’s just okay. The only reason Tampa has gotten the hype it has is because of Tom Brady and this massive push for tourism on social media. I see people come down all the time and it’s cool the first year, but after that, it’s like meh. I personally enjoy the Orlando Metro area better as they have more eclectic neighborhoods with things to do and with more of an identity. Ybor and South Tampa is all you have and even they still have a way to go. Jobs overall do not pay well. So if you lose your cushy job you came down here with or are remote, the chances are you will not be able to replace it quickly and may have to move because there are not a lot of corporations based here. It’s more like small satellite offices. And unemployment max is $275 a WEEK, and the max claim per YEAR is $3800. That’s it. Lastly, people move down here for the beaches but don’t understand that if you choose places like Wesley Chapel or Lutz, etc., that’s 1.5 hr trip to the beaches one way. I don’t really bother to go anymore because I can’t stand having to navigate through the massive amounts of tourist or traffic downtown both ways. Just want to give REAL perspective to people considering it.
i found this out after living here 1 year. you're right it's ok. i say barely ok.
Agreed... mostly. It's just so hot & the beach hardly relieves the heat, even in the water. I've been here my whole life, have lived in & visited a few other states. Needless to say, I can't seem to leave Tampa. It's getting overly crowded, which helps with money flow, and hurts with finding jobs, as mentioned. This video certainly isn't going to make people want to stay away from Tampa lol. Good luck finding a reasonably priced place to live!
I've lived in the area on and off since the segregated 1960's, and Desantis has reversed the long-term progress I thought we were making.
Could not agree more ! I’ve lived here for about 7-8 years. It’s boring af! The only good things here is just Florida beach life. The only way to continuously enjoy the Tampa area is if a person has a lot of money to continue to pay for new experiences
Unless you have a boat, there ain’t nothing to do. Yes you can kayak or sup or walk on a beach if you can stand the traffic getting there, then you have to pay to park if you can find a spot. I find the Pinellas (bike) Trail full of street crossings; Denver metro trails spoiled me, ahh! I’m only here because of affordability in 2019, but now, forget it! I am stuck in my sh1tty condo 25 minutes from the beach. It’s a lose lose situation. If you live near the beach your flood insurance will kill you, further from the beach, the traffic will. Debating whether to sell high now and get a small rv and wait till prices drop and buy in NC mountains 🧐
Digging this. Awesome production quality.
Appreciate that… I’m trying lol
Tampa Bay area is cool and fun. We just need to improve the public transportation.
Agreed it will come in time. There’s talks of the high speed train “light rail” making a stop in Tampa. But that would be for some time still.
Tell me more 👂🏽
I’m moving there in less than a month
@@That_Rat5 welcome and congrats! Get out and get explore and you will love it!
@@TampaFloridaLiving ty :)
Did a summer internship there in 2018 and was blown away by how much I loved the city and just Florida in general. I’m currently living near LA but plan to move to Tampa in a year or so! ❤
Love to hear it. Reach out to my team and we would love to help! Info@themorejongroup.com
Thanks Adam for good information about Tampa❤
Glad you enjoyed! You got it!
This is true! Tampa resident and I love it. Got to have drive to live here. The people are friendly
Appreciate the comment! Glad you likes the video!
Productive people are flooding out of California---But they still want Sun & Sea. What are the 3 options? .. Florida, Florida & Florida.
Exactly
Haha...thats me. I have to think about what I would be giving up here in California for other states. I'm a native Californian.
Looking forward to move to Tampa. March 2024 coming to visit and if I enjoy it, I am moving. Thank you for video Sir!!!
My pleasure glad you enjoyed! Shoot us an email so we can help set things up for your trip in march! Info@themorejongroup.com
And did you like it?
Great video!
I appreciate the feedback/comment! Glad you liked it!
That's one dope intro bro!
Ha ha thanks man
I am a true Floridian born and raised in Daytona Beach. But I've lived in 4 states. Seattle, Atlanta, S.C. Colombia, and Virginia, Norfolk. Well if I decide to ever leave Florida it will be Virginia but I don't think it will ever be in the plan I am settling down and moving to Tampa soon I like Tampa and there are lots to do there. So long story short I've been to so many states throughout the world but I always have bounce back to my homework. And again there is no perfect state /country in the world 🌎 its always gonna have its problems somewhere in that place.
Same here, been planning to move to North Carolina/Virginia but if i do stay , Tampa is my #1 spot
@diodelvino3048 reach out to my team… we would live to help! Info@themorejongroup.com
My brother moved to Tampa in 2012. I was still stuck in Ohio. I couldn’t WAIT to move to Tampa. As much as I hate snow and cold I was desperate to get out. I was even jealous of the homeless people in Tampa. We finally moved to Tampa in 2017 and I couldn’t be any happier. This city is the BOMB! Never bored and there’s ALWAYS something to do. Comedy shows, concerts, beaches, clubs, casino, museums, aquarium, zoo and amusement parks. It’s nearly endless. Everything is here. We mainly moved for the weather. Nothing beats an 85° day in the middle of fall and spring. Best thing about living here is I don’t need an ice scraper nor do I need to shovel heat.
Driving with the top down is the BEST and I find it “criminal” to drive around on a cloudless sunny day with 80° temps and all windows up. Waste of an enjoyable drive. And if someone is living in Tampa and they are bored then the problem is with them, not the city.
I currently live in Ohio, moving to Tampa in April. I’m glad to hear you say you love it, I see a lot of people online that down on it, traffic, job market, etc. I can’t wait to get down there
@@theminnow8320 good luck on your move. I love it here. Traffic is heavy and cost of living is high in comparison to where I stayed when I was living in Ohio but the trade-off is worth it
hello. I am moving to Tampa, FL and can find lots of videos on buying places there but was wondering if you knew the areas that have apartments for reasonable costs? Is there any area of the city to stay away from, or any area is decent?
Another great video. So great to live here. We are glad we found you, two years ago!
Bill… always glad to see your comments! Thank you as always and you know I was happy to help your family move to Tampa! Say hello to everyone for me!
Tampa really is one of the best places to live!
Loving the new videographer! The quality of your videos are stunning! Big improvement 👍!
I appreciate that. Yeah we are still making some adjustments but and quality will continue to improve with time! Then it’s up to me to deliver uh oh lol!!!!
Don't believe the hype Tampa is over priced to expensive to live. Traffic is horrible
Florida for life.
Thanks for the pep talk. You said the big key word here, "affordable". I gave up trying to find an affordable yet livable house in the Tampa area.
I bet more people than not are like me; we can't afford the affordable 300K home. I can only go as high as 150K because that's what I can get out of my house. Maybe 175K but that's pushing it. Unless there is a hidden area 30-60 minutes away from Tampa. I can give it one more try maybe I'll get lucky.
And don't forget the cost of living and ammenities.
Unfortunately $150k for a single family home is well under the average home price now. Average home price would be closer to $400k. I can find nice homes in the low $300k but under $200k would be very difficult and I would have to search well out of the city. I’m sorry. I empathize with you my friend
Thanks. I'm searching for something way smaller since I live alone. Could be my only hope. I haven't ruled out these small condominiums but with my lifestyle that's not a good fit, but who knows. Time for me to go in overtime.
@@keithhuntsman9455 what’s suppose to happen will my friend. Best of luck to you!
Too many people here already…. Leave!
There needs to be more emphasis on how incredibly expensive it is to live here now. If you don't make $135K or more, then you can't afford to live here. It's that simple.
Guess what? Thats any and every major city in america
Literally everywhere
Update due to new information. You need to make closer to $200K to live within the city limits now. All the NY and Cali remote workers bid up the property and rents to obscene levels.
What about low income section 8 housing? I am on a budget but don’t want to move somewhere dangerous
It’s interesting
New laws go into effect next year for Condos in FL that will make HOA extremely expensive, in general higher insurance as well for single family homes. Please do thorough research before planning to move
I live on social security and have been priced out of the rental market. I now live on the outskirts of Tampa but will have to buy a travel trailer 😏
Myself and fiancé are looking yo move from Long Island to tampa area. Do how would you compare Wesley chapel to west chase.
Very different areas. Location and proximity to things are different also. Westchase is a master planned community with over 20 subdivisions, where Wesley chaapel is a suburb that has dozens of master planned communities within it. Wesley chapel is much bigger as an area.
Feel free to reach out to my team and they can u sweat and both areas and help find a home when the time is right.
Info@themorejongroup.com
How do you get in the garages on those homes
Again… Carlos Nobre. We are retired and our only child is going to study at University of Florida (Gainesville). We intend to spend half year in Tampa and the other half in Brasil.
Born and raised in Tampa (Hillsborough County) and like.. I miss it. I'd move back in a heart beat if it wasn't so damn expensive.
I like NC, don't get me wrong. I'm just.. Not a fan.
forreal?? Im not too far from Tampa and been planning to move there but im looking at NC too. Whats so bad about it?
@@diodelvino3048 In my area; dull. If I want to do anything then I have to drive roughly and hour and some change to va. It really depends on if you’re about that “country life” or “city life”. Personally, while I love it, I’m still too city for my own good. So if I stayed here, I’d try to convince my husband to go to Raleigh.
I do live near Tampa over by carolwood
Adam what city or town you suggest to buy house 😊
There’s a ton of great areas. What type of areas do you like? What’s important to you live near? Schools, job, things to do? Matching an area with your lifestyle is important… then lastly we need to consider a budget for home. If you have more questions, you can also email my team and we would be happy to make suggestions.

Home Taxes
Insurance high rates
Hurricanes😅
Looks like heaven compared to California.
I like parts of california, but Tampa is home!!!
If you dont mind the lack of elevation , then yeah. im ngl id rather live here than anywhere in California right now. Safe for a big city, kind of like a mini-Miami but i like it much better there. So much to see, impossible to be bored and the food is amazing
I am from LA and it’s almost impossible even to go the beach due to traffic and police giving you tickets or anybody towing your car .😂
I would like to move
We’d be happy to help! Email my team at info@themorejongroup.com and we can help you out together a plan!
Thank you for the comment

Sounds great. We look forward to helping you!
Nice i am coming this weekend to florida
@@wildheartxxx135 need help with anything? Finding a home or area?
@@TampaFloridaLiving actually yes ,will send you a email
@@wildheartxxx135 perfect thanks! Ill keep an eye out for it
Sorry for breaking your heart... but we are FULL here in Hillsborough County... We are adding about 123,000 a year and already have 1.523 million of us trying to vie for space here... cost of living isn't horrible and the low taxes help... but the roads are insane, we have nowhere to build but up, and they keep building high-rise apartments... it used to be 3 stories before each building... now it's 5-7 stories and climbing... literally... it's ridiculous...
I'm going to check it out next yr I have friends live there and I never left Rhode Island there are more jobs
I just talked to them today and they said it might be a good idea I know a lot of things
Trying to get my dad to move here from texas
Awesome. If you need help with that… reach out to my team. Info@themorejongroup.com
@@TampaFloridaLiving thank you
@@llovessosa4878 happy to help.
Could you tell me what about natural disasters?
Sure what would you like to know?
Compared to CA Tampa is VERY affordable 😅
Everything is overpriced a slice of pizza is almost $5. Apartments,restaurants, homes, cars everything overpriced. Employers don’t pay good at all and is a right to hire state so they can fire you for no reason at all. Luckily i have little by little established myself and live an ok life. So it depends on you if you can handle the pressure here. But besides that i love it here
Thats pretty accurate. Appreciate the comment. Unfortunately thats the case everywhere… everything is expensive, but at least we can enjoy where we live!
How did my yt know I lived here😭
Is this downtown or in the area.
I’m not sure which part you are referencing, but yes I was on the riverwalk near downtown at one point in the video
@@TampaFloridaLiving Thanks for clarifying
Tampa was, is and will continue to be a very dangerous city. Glad i left years ago.
You must have been in the wrong parts. Just sayin
The current situation with homeowners insurance in Florida will make you go broke. Averaging around $6000 a yr and up. Don't forget to mention that very important point.😳 Florida is most def not affordable anywhere. It is a nightmare and our Governor and state Legislature has no clue or desire to fix that or anything else unless they can attach the term "woke" to it. Florida native here too btw.
That number is definitely high for the average home. Insurance premiums have increased, but that’s not the average home. I live in a 2700 sqft 1970’s home and insurance is around $4800. If my home was brand new it would only be around $1500-$1700/ year
How about Florida Death Metal?
Not affordable anymore and it is being flooded by the kind of people most people move to get away from.
It means great pizza (every other person you run into in a NY refugee) but also a lot of traffic, every patch of ground being developed into an HOA, and condos and houses so thick that there is no view of the water anymore.
It's not Florida anymore. What it is turning into, we'll see.
totally agree.....now most Floridians cant afford to buy a home in Florida.....hope it doesn't turn into the liberalshithole CA is
Sb1718
Is 45k-50k enough to live here single no kids?
1 bedroom 500sqft apartment 1500 a month. 3 bedroom house 2800. The cheaper houses start at 365,000 if you don't want to move to the hood. Most businesses still only pay $8.25 an hour even lawyers offices working as a clerk you can only make about 28k a year. New construction has basically stopped. Any new construction is going to be extremely slow for now on and extremely expensive. Used houses will basically be the only viable option which doesn't bode very well when you have people buying up houses and turning them into air bnb and corporations buying up houses and turning them into rental.
Thats not even close to correct but hey… thanks for the comment
@@TampaFloridaLiving exactly what is not even close to correct because everything I said is 100% correct. Getting house insurance is another nightmare all its own.
@@krookedliptv9852 there are tons of job availability and that are well over $8.25. The other day I saw a sign that Dunkin’ Donuts was paying money just to interview people. Almost like if people don’t want to work. On top of that there are tons of new construction available. In fact, I would argue there’s more new construction, then resell available to people.
@@TampaFloridaLiving new construction has slowed down dramatically you can tell by going by any construction site that you drove by previously and see how many people are actually on site now
@@TampaFloridaLiving to rent a one-bedroom 500 square-foot apartment at $1,400 a month you would have to prove that you make $25 an hour 40 hours a week. Basically you have to have a cosigner or live with people or be one of the lucky few that actually has a decent job
Lol the comments are hilarious, I don’t think people that live in California, New York, florida, really realize how Delulu y’all are. I just read someone saying after you do tourist things it’s nothing to do? Lol have y’all ever traveled to Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama or Louisiana ? Here in Arkansas we don’t even have not one amusement park and y’all are complaining about what ?
Exactly lol. Appreciate you sharing
You look like Adam Schefter
Ha ha ha a buddy of mine said that along time ago.
Your another real estate person, being realistic if your considering moving there not everyone makes over 100,000 year, so being more realistic what’s the average person work and live, or is this unattainable
Prob $60-$70k assuming low debt. Most households are double income but if not i would say a minimum of around $60-$70k would prob get it. If you make less than looking at smaller condos or townhomes may be an option
Appreciate that answer, being that said it shouldn’t take 2 incomes or a partner to survive, it almost sounds like your using each other just to live, sad but think about it, and that’s a non married couple, sad day in hell an individual which is very common can’t survive without a partnership, terrible@@TampaFloridaLiving
I've lived here in tampa 35 years. It has SERIOUSLY gotten worse in many different ways. Traffic being one of the biggest besides all the criminals moving here to rob you or something worse because hey... people in Florida must have cash, expensive homes and beaches, sounds enticing to criminals to people. It is WAY over packed even in stores, it's so hot that people are more angry than normal, your not going to move here and become some star or millionaire, the sidewalks do not glitter with beauty, its littered with homeless people and trash because people do not know how to clean up after themselves. The weather is NOT always great.. usually storms pretty bad every summer afternoon... a hurricane can wipe everything you own out or kill you. Jobs don't pay an extra 10 per hour at fast food like you have been lied to lol... please stay outta Florida. Stat where you're roots are. The traffic alone will make you regret moving here... trust me people this place isn't as great as it is made out to be... look up the bad side of Florida videos, I bet they will change your mind. Don't be fooled people. Stay safe, take care everyone!
So bad but you have lived here 35 years… cmon
@@TampaFloridaLiving yes sir, don't get me wrong it can be beautiful and there are a lot of perks but nobody are telling these people that they're tearing up alot of beautiful Florida acreage. I have watched so many people move here at a alarming rate in numbers and those numbers are people, and people need houses, grocery stores etc. And the stores and houses are not enough and there's no more place other than building more space, tearing up stuff. Plus they are building these new homes over swamp land. Needless to say after a year or 2 the ground settles and large cracks in your house appear. Also, good luck affording sink hole insurance lol, that's a whole another animal though. Insurance here is RIDICULOUS! I'm just giving anyone who reads this my opinion. Just giving people a heads up on the downside of things.
@@TampaFloridaLivinghave you learned nothing of the stubbornness of Floridians? Home is home.
@@chickenwang6998and they’re building the homes and apartment complexes to look pretty and not to last. Plywood doesn’t stand up to hurricanes for very long. And the beautiful fields and FL grassland of SanAntonio and Zephyrhills are being violated to make way for those cookie-cutter neighborhoods. It’s tragic.
Tampa sucks just like all humid weather in Florida
I personally love it, but i also understand its not everyone’s cup of tea. All good!
As a native Floridian, I'm here to tell y'all that Tampa IS NOT what it used to be, and is overrated at this point.
Too many people from the northeast (mainly NY) have contaminated this city heavily over the last 10 to 12 years. Unfortunately, that influx has brought a NASTY attitude and culture that is foreign to Florida altogether (we can tell most of the time they're not from here). Florida is a southern state and originally an agricultural state; it was until 10 years ago the annual GDP dominator became tourism; before that it was agriculture (cattle, citrus, sugar cane, etc.).
This is nothing but an overrated tourist trap with horrible traffic, outrageous insurance rates and home prices. Sad to see this beautiful state get destroyed.
4:29 Florida & Texas. Not affordable anymore. Those are the sexy states to live in, so rents have sky-rocketed, so has homelessness.
Vivo aqui solo hace un ano con mi flia y me gusta mucho.VIVA TAMPA
I’ll tell you everything you need to know about moving to Tampa. Don’t do it! L O L I wish I would’ve never left the beautiful blue city of San Diego California and I plan on going back as soon as I can. Tampa can’t hold a candle to Beautiful Southern California! L O L
Totally get it. Theres a lid for every pot and its not for everyone. If you need anything when you decide to move reach out to my team… we work with listings also!
Tampa sucks. Lol. Not as bad as Orlando or Tallahassee through. I live in SWFL. So i understand the city
Traffic sucks, no matter where you go. St Pete, Brandon, Carroll Wood, and all surrounding counties. The expanded population has really destroyed the beauty the Bay Area was famous for. The southern charm is gone. Nothing but crowds.
I’m a 3rd generation native, in my 60s with grandchildren here.
Downtown tampa is not it 😂
Not sure what you mean by that but downtown Tampa is def on the rise.
@TampaFloridaLiving it's known as one of the worst spots, it's gonna take a lot of time before it's molded into what they invision
@@Un11Hoe not sure about that. Channelside, riverwalk and waterstreet are all booming and now have 3 Michelin star restaurants. It’s come along way in a short amount of time. Just sayin
@@Un11Hoe not so sure I agree with that as it’s loaded with people enjoying all of the new places. I’ve been on multiple date nights recently with my wife and we had a great time. Also take my daughter to Lightning games and sparkmans wharf. We can agree to disagree I guess
Tampa looks AMAZING. haters gonna hate but to each their own!! 😂
🤣
There’s to many ppl here stay y’all ahh in y’all state don’t come down here
As a person from California I agree. We barely have any citizens. That’s a reason I wanna move to Florida
Please move to Florida. You’ll love riding our cockroaches, dogs bark a lot. The cane spiders will take care of them, the mosquitoes can drain your blood faster than Dracula. We have lots of lakes and ponds to swim in if you’re faster than a gator. And it’s hot and humid 363 days a year.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! I’m glad I lived in Tampa since 2017 before coming across these lopsided uninformed opinions. Tampa is NOT hot and humid 365 days a year. In fact most of the days between December and February there are days when the lows are in the 30’s and 40’s. If you consider that hot go ahead and lay on the beach in a bikini the next time those temps come around. Secondly, I’ve been in Tampa over six years and still never saw ONE alligator….EVER! I doubt that they even exist in Tampa.
Are you 4 real??? Keep out of Florida in general... don't do it think twice and look at expencese. Road trips a breeze... etc are you talking about..traffic around and in Tampa sucks... the transportation system is ancient and unkept. Like the water system...and sewer system. Mild weather year round.... WHAT ???? JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER ya can't go out during the day due to heat...high pressure domes pressur heat and Sahara dust on top of that.. it's unbearable in Florida till October folks. Hurricanes are a bitch...and there coming. House insurance is freakin high and going higher. Car insurance is high too. Many reasons to stay out of Florida only people who like it are corporate concerns who are getting high tax breaks and incentives and power expenses covered by the state programs... that's it. People working for these corporations can move with them to save there jobs...there like hostages.
Just think twice b4 u do it... ask lots of questions.
I live in California and I visited Florida , and I loved the state. It feels more alive unlike California. California is depressing and sad. I prefer Florida over this state
I've lived in Tampa off and on since the segregated Jim Crow 1960's. It's a big metropolitan area with all the problems and expenses of any urban center, minus the cultural/artistic richness. Thank God for our fairly sane Democratic leadership. Of course there are the gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches, if you can hack the parking. Better than most places in the Deep South, other than the annual devastating hurricane panic and Desantis's fascist attack on all state schools.
Go back to NY
what a 🤡
You forgot to mention -- out of control property insurance increases. More insurance companies leaving because Republicans in Tally can't figure out how to fix it. The Insurance company of last resort is about to make prices skyrocket. I-4 is convenient getting to The Parks near Orlando -- but it's also the most dangerous interstate in America. Our beaches have red tide half the time because of excessive runoff and extreme heat. Car insurance is outrageous because tampa has some of the worst drivers in the state. We have terrible schools Because Republicans have destroyed education. The state is infested with drugs. The Climate is changing rapidly - But hey -- Tampa is great otherwise. You might just have to live on the streets -- or rent an 850 sq ft condo for 2K+ a month - Oh, I forgot to mention out of control electricity prices. TECO will rip you off in a heartbeat. Better not have a pool -- they are nice, sure -- but wait til that bill comes. Tamps is great.. I love it. More than half my 6 figure paycheck goes to barely surviving. But sure -- great place.
You ONCE IN A LIFE TIME WARNING BRUH BRUH! It's a dumpster fire.. TAKE YOUR LIFE SAVINGs MOVE YOUR business OUT QUICK.
Florida is going to burn itself to the ground! Then Blow away Then sink.. TAMPAS GROWTH IS FKED GOOD LUCK!
Hey thanks for the comment!
how about don't move here.
Especially if you're from NY/NJ/PHI
HEAR THIS TODAY
STAY OUT OF TAMPA BAY
These articles are HEAVILY misleading. Housing is NOT good, seems like everyday insurers are leaving the state. We pay the highest amount of tax in the US. DeSantis is doing the best he can to tank the economy, setting policies in place to wreck hospitality jobs.
Prices have sky rocketed beyond reason. Apartments are insanely priced and continues to climb.
Red tide is increasingly becoming an issue.
There are many MANY other issues.
Born and raised in South Tampa , when I was looking for a house ..... the first thing I did was NOT look in Tampa , went 30 minutes East of that mess of traffic and ghetto every 10 blocks after you get off of Davis Island and out of Hyde Park Village and Palma Ceia , once you leave those neighborhoods , drive 10 blocks in any direction and you're in the ghetto , Tampa is turning into St. Pete , the whole place is becoming the fucking hood
