I transferred to Tampa from Hawaii in 2016. Lived in Seminole Heights. Lasted just over two years until 2018. I'm a lifelong renter, never owned a home, so looking at the fine print outside the "no state income tax" is important. Since there's no rent control in Tampa, my rent in Seminole Hts was raised three times before I moved out. My income never changed in that period so I saw the writing on the walls. The property manager explained the rent hikes to the re-evaluation of the apartment building. I did watch my neighborhood gentrify within the first year. The toll roads were a bit ridiculous and something I was not used to in California or Hawaii. These are regressive taxes that hurt the working class more than high wage earners. Also, I got lucky picking Seminole Heights. If you're moving there, see if your place is in a flood zone. When the hurricane came up the gulf and hit Tampa, the trees on my block lost branches, but no flooding. South Tampa floods with a light rain. But then .. Florida IS sinking.
S.Tampa ; below Kennedy blvd. and above Gandy blvd. that's the safest, least congested, centrally located area, close to everything, beautiful etc..ur welcome
Never heard it pronounced pine-ellis county until this video. I lived in Westchase for a few years awhile back and have always heard pronounced "pin-nellis". I'm pretty sure pin-nellis rolls off the tongue better
There are many cool things to do in the Tampa area. The only downside is those things are far from each other. So you don't get any one area that has everything. Also I've lived in all three counties. Pasco is very depressed and can be a very difficult place if you're looking to build a bright future. Tampa is best if you like urban. Pinellas has great beaches.
@@LivinginTampa Trinity is a bright spot. I know there are new areas growing off I-75 like Wesley Chapel, but I haven't explored there much. I lived in New Port Richey and also Hudson when I lived up there.
i'm moving from Orlando to go to USF - I'll be a graduate student but i have a family so I'll need to be closer to campus. I need to find an apartment for 3 years.
If you're looking for a house for cheaper rent it may be tough. A small apartment though should be fairly easy to find,It really depends on what you would define as cheap.
I lived in Clearwater for 9 years.. back in mid 80s to mid 90” Great videos , new to the channel. Not trying to be rude but It’s Pronounced Pin..Elas county not Pine.. elas Sorry .
Areas that are close to downtown St. Pete or downtown Tampa may be good options for you. What industry do you work in? What are you interested in being close to?
Oh yeah there are some without HOA or CDD. It really just depends what neighborhood feel you are looking for. We live in an older, kind of funky neighborhood and we don't have HOA or CDD.
Hey there! Thank you for sharing I’m from MA looking to move to nice weather and a larger LGBTQ community. Is Tampa a good place for having a boat/ car detailing company? And good lab jobs?
The job market in Tampa is confusing. The reports always brag about high-paying jobs growing, but then average pay in the area isn't really going up much. There are jobs, but they might pay less than expected. In what industry would you be looking for a job?
@@lloydbridges3258 God damn.... PA starts you at 20hr.... I come down in October and if the rent and money is that low I can't force my family into poverty
It really is. This is one of those areas where it really can be cheaper to buy than rent. But then again right now it feels impossible to find a home to buy in certain areas.
Brandon is mostly suburban, with a little bit of rural bit around the edges. Traffic is rough though, because most people are commuting to Tampa. th-cam.com/video/TuIC1wFOmmU/w-d-xo.html
@@LivinginTampa Thanks for the insight. I'm moving there from CA and got an apartment without being able to even check the place out so I wanted to get a local's perspective. I'll be commuting to North Tampa to work in Real Estate so your videos have been really helpful. Guess I won't be getting away from Los Angeles traffic like I thought I would be.
@@LivinginTampa Planning a move from NYC with 2 little ones in tow and wanted more dense suburban (Valrico/Brandon/Bloomingdale) really the focal points. When I hear the talk of traffic, I need to put it through the lens of NYC traffic. How BAD can it be in comparison. As a teacher heading home from work on a given day it can take me over an hour to go 14 miles!
Alot of schools you can take with zero dollars down and do job contract, Roadmaster Tampa does a 3 week course and there is tons of medical centers you can get to pay for a nursing education... If you have a bad driving history or record this might inhabit that, But you have to find something that's in demand down here that pays decent its not like back in the day

But only 5% of my clients can/want to live in that area. Everyone sees the appeal to that area, but very few can afford it.
Love South Tampa and Hyde Park areas.
This was a very informative video has given me a map of where to look thank you so much
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

I thought it was puh neh luhs
I pronounce it pin-nile-iphous.

It is pin-nellis lmao, he's just pronouncing it incorrectly.
Just found your channel and love the video. Keep it up!

The best video and info.Thank you.

Any recommendations on where to live for singles? (40’s and up).
Hey there - I would recommend areas with a lot of dining, like Seminole Heights, St. Pete, Dunedin. It really depends on what you like to do for fun.
This is my exact question. Thank you so much!
Is there a lot of bullying in Florida? I had some friends who moved down there and they said they dealt with some hateful bullying.
i'm moving from Orlando to go to USF - I'll be a graduate student but i have a family so I'll need to be closer to campus. I need to find an apartment for 3 years.
Congratulations on grad school! If you want to live close(ish) to the campus, I would recommend looking in Temple Terrace or New Tampa.
Thank You! 😁
Am coming university of tampa in January.. am really worried where i will live at cheap rents.. would you help me....?

it is, feel free to give us a call or email!
I want to move to Tampa and i will work at McD, do you have recommendation rent house or apartemen for me? But don't expensive 😂
Sorry I don't know much about affordable rentals. The rental market here is really doesn't involve realtors very much
i want unrestricted land, no hoa, 30min or so from the beach for around $40k-$80k. With NO SINK HOLE ZONES. does this even exist? lol
Nope
Hello, planning to move to Tampa, do you have houses without CDD and HOA ?
Oh yeah there are some without HOA or CDD. It really just depends what neighborhood feel you are looking for. We live in an older, kind of funky neighborhood and we don't have HOA or CDD.
@@LivinginTampa can you please send me a listing of houses for sale in riverview fl without cdd/hoa
Beware of HOA always.
Great information thank you Is port tampa 33616 good area?
Yes! The Southern part of South Tampa is a great location!
Good area... Interbay Peninsula
Hey there! Thank you for sharing I’m from MA looking to move to nice weather and a larger LGBTQ community. Is Tampa a good place for having a boat/ car detailing company? And good lab jobs?
Absolutely!
I would say so.
Please can you tell me how's the job opportunity for Local semi truck drivers there?
I know a few people here that work for Estes Express out of this area. They have a big office on the east side of Tampa
How is the Job market in the Tampa area? Im single in 50s. Any good places for dating?

Where are new homes area have no HOA & no CDD? Thanks
Older houses and neighborhoods are typically going to be the easiest route to avoid those fees. Some neighborhoods even have optional HOAs
Your the best
Thanks Carl!
Thinking of moving from Texas, there’s a midrise in South Tampa near port of Tampa, near the air base I believe. Is that a bad place ?
Not a bad area! Its a great areA!
Nice place!
Is rent really 1500 to 1900 for a 3 bed room?
It really is. This is one of those areas where it really can be cheaper to buy than rent. But then again right now it feels impossible to find a home to buy in certain areas.
@@LivinginTampa is there places out side or around Tampa area that are generally cheaper?
@@Jr-Cane-Corso It gets cheaper toward New Port Richey(NE) and South St Pete
@@Jr-Cane-Corso ... you also might want to check Brandon or Riverview. I don't recommend the New Port Richey lead.
@@gerektherogue7190 may I ask why you don't recommend New Port Richie?
Those property taxes and sales taxes are cheap in comparison to California. Can't wait to get there ;)
Good luck
Stay your ass in Cali. We don't want you.
