Tampa, Florida

This bustling port city started out as a Seminole reservation in the 1800s. Visited as early as 1528 by Spanish explorers, Tampa saw its first real growth in the late 1800s was a port city and is now a major business and shipping city. Long popular with winter only residents, it has a wonderful mix of leisure and high energy corporate lifestyles.

Playing in Tampa

There are plenty of options for things to do in Tampa. From the enormous Busch Gardens and Zoo to great museums to championship football and hockey teams, you will never be without something to do in this city.  There are several big annual festivals which most people enjoy, but for those who prefer to pursue personal sports, golf courses are easy to find.

Good beaches and interesting towns like Sarasota are only an hour away, and provide easy getaway days or afternoons away from your Tampa apartment.

Discovering Your Neighborhood

The old harbor area downtown has one of the most historic neighborhoods, Ybor City. It was there that the many Italian and Cuban immigrants settled, and there is still housing to be found there. You will find numerous choices for your Tampa apartment from the master planned type communities of North Tampa to the brand new high rises under construction in the downtown area. Outside of the historical areas, post modern architecture is predominant yet you will find choices there too. Consider your commute since Tampa is car oriented, and while there is bus service, your car will be your major source of transportation. 

Ethnic Dining

Dining out in Tampa will offer so much ethnic diversity that you won't know where to start. The city's large Italian and Cuban population provide many options, but the most popular area for restaurants is Ybor City with the landmark Columbia Restaurant as a good starting point. Wherever you find your Tampa apartment, you will be near some of the very good ethnic restaurants and big American chain type establishments.

Party Party

Ybor City is by far the most condensed place for nightlife. It is literally packed with bars and clubs. You can dance to Latin groove music or even listen to Celtic bands - sometimes in the same building. For quieter nights out, neighborhoods like Hyde Park offer up quieter spots like 717 South or Four Green Fields, an Irish pub offering a huge beer selection and a front porch to drink them on.
