Living in Tampa

When you’re ready to start shopping for homes, you need to know that Tampa is divided into four areas that align with the counties it covers. Each area has distinct features that cater to various lifestyles. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect.

Hillsborough County: The city of Tampa and Tampa International Airport (TPA) are located in Hillsborough County. Several popular neighborhoods in Hillsborough County are Plant City, Temple Terrace, Brandon, Carrollwood, Westchase, and New Tampa. These spots are a quick drive from downtown Tampa:

Pinellas County: The picture-postcard beaches you see in travel brochures are in Pinellas County. Tampa shares the county with St. Petersburg and Clearwater. An alternative to the Tampa Airport is located here. The St. Pete-Clearwater Airport can be a simpler and more convenient way to get to Tampa. Favorite areas in Pinellas County include Gulfport, Clearwater, and Dunedin. The area caters to tourists and has lots of smaller rentable properties.

Pasco County: You’ll find many retirees have settled in this area, along with younger families too. Pasco is a hot spot for vacationers and is home to much of the Tampa area’s history. This is where you’ll find many cultural attractions, from museums to theaters. Housing here is some of the most affordable in the Tampa area.

Hernando County: North of Tampa is Hernando County, with its popular Spring Hill and Brooksville neighborhoods. This Florida region is called the Nature Coast because of its expanses of undeveloped land. You’ll find lots of outdoor attractions and activities here. Although this location attracts tourists, the beaches aren’t as busy.

Once you decide where to settle down, you’ll want to know where to eat. Tampa has a few dishes that are iconic to the area. In the top spot is the Cuban sandwich. It’s a sub sandwich with a flair. Ham, pork, salami, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard are stuffed between thick slices of Cuban bread. Pair that with Spanish bean soup, and you’ll be filled with the best of Tampa cuisine.

With the beauty of Tampa and its beaches, it might be hard to imagine running out of things to do in the city. One attraction of particular note is the Salvador Dali Museum. It houses nearly 1,500 pieces of the artist’s work. For those with wanderlust, Tampa is located in an ideal spot for day trips. You can be at Walt Disney World in two hours or at the enchanting Weeki Wachee Springs State Park in one hour, where you can take a kayak tour to see aquatic animals or watch mermaids from your seat in an underground theater.

Think of Tampa, and you might have images of sun and sand. The city has an average of 246 days of sun each year. With the sun comes heat. Summers in Tampa can bring oppressive heat and humidity. Temperatures are usually within 52°F to 90°F. The best time to visit Tampa is late February to early May and from mid-October to early December.
