Great information! Thanks Juan! 🤌🏾🤙🏾
You're welcome!
Just retired from the Housing/Mortgage industry. I moved to Dunedin, then Clearwater in 2006. I have been in all facets of the residential mortgage/housing industry to include Loss MIT, Underwriting, Appraisal Review and Valuation here in FL. I completely agree with your pros and cons list. This area captivated me the minute I drove across that Causeway and even more so when I moved to the Clearwater area! Great video! I would love to say stop telling everyone about our little oasis, but that would be selfish..lol. Great Video…keep em coming. P.s. I still rent (way cheaper than a mortgage right now)…and have never owned a home despite having the VA loan option being a retired Marine…I’m socking my savings away waiting for rates and or prices to come down some more…someday soon! Peace!
Thanks for sharing!
I understand it's not really something you mentioned directly, but regarding traffic, I've found the public transportation network downtown to be pretty good, especially the SunRunner with it's dedicated lanes.
Hi Juan,
Love your videos. I am living in UK but last couple of years spent some time if Tampa on vacation and it was lovely but last year I decided to check out St Pete’s and that place stole my heart literally 😊. As I single woman traveler I was not scared to alone to downtown of St Pete’s I felt safe walk around the took Uber/Lyft and headed back to my airbnb. The moment I stepped there vibe is very different to Tampa, I felt people were more relaxed/friendly (and I am not saying people in Tampa were not) but even supermarket like Publix etc had different vibe, neighbourhood I stayed and going for my early morning walks. It’s definitely place to am coming back in few months. Ohh that that little market you have there each Saturday! Love it. Thank you for this video!
You’re welcome and thanks for sharing!
Hey Juan, just wanna say thank you for making these videos! The last couple months or so, I’ve decided that I want to move to Florida from NY state because I want to be somewhere where it’s always warm and I’m close to the beach. I’ve watched a lot of your videos recently and you’ve helped me know that St Pete is where I wanna be!
You're welcome! I'm glad they've helped. Feel free to reach out when you're ready to make the move.
We love St. Pete! Even though my house is in Tarpon Springs, we spend a lot of time in the area, especially Cage Brewing! Nice video!
Thanks for sharing. I haven’t tried Cage yet. Got a new one to enjoy!
I am currently in St Pete for the weekend; looking to move down from Long Island ny so I’m checking out the area. So far it’s amazing, the vibes are great. Spent today at around the beaches. Everyone is very friendly, multiple people started conversations while walking around. Spent last night in downtown and will be going downtown again, lots of places to choose from and people everywhere. While I was there, I did experience more homeless people than I expected. If you treat them like a human, they don’t cause you trouble. Like any city there’s good and bad neighborhoods to avoid. Coming from NY, not something I’m unfamiliar with. Just avoid them whenever possible. Costs aren’t so bad but NY has conditioned me to believe everything costs a lot. Still so much to experience here in St. Pete! Got tickets to the Indy race tomorrow in downtown 🤙🏻
Glad you’re enjoying your time here. Thanks for sharing!
If you can afford to live in N.Y. Bra Living in St. Pete is going to be a dream for you. I moved here from South Jersey and I feel like I am on vacation. I been here 11 years come Memorial Day 2024 RHD When you reach 55 years of age look into Moble Homes living it is much cheaper than a house. Just a thought.
Try Shell Key!😎
Omg man I’m so ready to move, I’m 13 but when I’m 18 I’m moving to St. Petersburg from milwaukee
As long as you have a steady income and interests in things other people around have. You'll thrive here.
There’s to many people here😭 but it’s a fun city to live in
@@user-bm8is5xx2z I mean yeah, but I absolutely hate the cold
I've been really enjoyed watching your videos. I just signed up for a zoom meeting. Looking forward to talk to you.
I look forward to connecting, Ali.
Thank you. I'm looking a bit Sarasota, siesta key area. St Pete looks fun though.
The amount of activities you can do sober and not binge drinking is crazy too considering the amount of debauchery you can find on any screen corner. This place is amazing for people looking to live life and do things with their time that are interesting and stimulating. There's music ALL OVER, even major cities fail in comparison to St. Pete, this is a haven for weirdos and freaks as well. Just all around good people and all around good vibes.
Great video 👍🏼. Is thata Fender Jazzmaster hanging on the wall nehind you?
Squire Jazzmaster 😎
Me and my wife moved to Tampa almost 2 years ago and we love ST Pete it is really chill there and we go there for date night. lol me and my wife say the say thing about publix we spend alot and dont get much groceries
Thanks for sharing and watching!
Publix is for Lovers🤩
Thanks for more great info and considerations. Hi everyone....I always shop at Aldi here outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I just went Thursday, and spent $46 for three brown paper bags. Aldi is less expensive than all of the other places. I'd be interested to see what the prices are in the Tampa Bay area stores. A news release on the Aldi page said that due to the rising cost of prices, they are going to build, I think it is 800 new stores. My neighbor snowbirds in The Villages. My logic is to visit during the high summer months.
There is some of algae blume in Lake Erie but it's near Toledo or Sandusky, Ohio. I think it sometimes makes it way to my area (I'm west of Cleveland).
Thanks for sharing, Keith.
I will love to move from the UK to Clearwater Florida for the beautiful sunshine and the beautiful beaches that they have over there in Clearwater Florida! I am doing some research to learn all about living in Clearwater Florida! Can you do more videos on TH-cam channels about living in Clearwater Florida for me please and thank you. ❤❤️👍👍😀😀
We've done a few, but you'll see another one next week!
Nice area. 🤩
Are there many options for remote jobs here?
I’m in Bergen County, NJ and everything is expensive here. Groceries are ridiculously high priced, and living here is getting more expensive by the day.
Thanks for sharing.
Purchased some drinks and snacks yesterday and it was like $100 , milwaukee
I feel this comment.
What’s the local tax rate on income and real estate. I’ve heard some counties since Florida does not have a state income tax can have hefty local tax. I live just outside of Louisville KY and the county of Jefferson has a Revenue commission. They charge about a 5 percent tax on income and really go after business that does work in the county even if they do not live in the county. The penalties are outrageous for late payments too. It’s called the “sinking fund” locally.
im in Philadelphia right now and i'm considering becoming a realtor in Florida... how do i do that...? Thanks...
You'll need to go to a licensed real estate school, take a state exam, and pass a background check. After that the real education begins.
Is downtown st Pete safe? Edge water district? What areas to avoid for safety
Thanks for watching. I can't tell you if an area is safe or not. I can however show you where to find the info. If you look in the description you'll find the link to the crime maps.
11 year former resident of St Pete (north, snell isle, north east park shores). Great vid. But the crime is no bueno. Cars being checked in the middle of the day in the nicest of neighborhoods. It is concerning. Plus the amount alleys in neighborhoods fosters the crime rate of people checking cars, stealing bikes and porch pirates, it became unbearable for me. It's one of MANY factors why I moved to NC. I LOVE visiting St. Pete now, it's still awesome for visitors! I wouldn't move back....not affordable and this crime rate don't make the math work for me.
Thanks for sharing.
If I catch a pirate I’ll be sure to have them walk the plank. 🤣 Love that term.
My Guy, crime is everywhere and if it's there yet it will come. So very unfair that you portray the city as major crimes. Give me a break
What is the sales tax in Florida?
It's different in every city.
Lake Maggorie is a great place for gators
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
st. petes is very nice, but, but, you better have a fat wallet to live here and i mean a fat wallett
It's definitely not cheap to live in St. Pete.
It's not Miami, Austin, NY, Chicago, California expensive. Let's be real
