St. Petersburg, the glamorous starlet of Florida’s land boom of the 1920s, has entered its second golden age offering one of the most surprising cultural climates on Florida’s west coast. With a population of 249,090, St. Petersburg is the fourth largest city in the state of Florida. The median age for St. Petersburg is 39.3 and is one of the lowest in Pinellas County. It is no longer regarded as a retirement city as its emphasis on culture, sports, education, business, and tourism have diversified it’s appeal and it’s economy.

The downtown is located on one of our nation’s most beautiful waterfront parks, and is fast-becoming one of the most attractive, livable and viable downtowns in the country.  Other neighborhoods offer Mediterranean style waterfront villas, 1920s wooden bungalows, luxury condominiums, and urban-style lofts.

St. Petersburg is home to one of the world’s finest year-round climates. With a purported average of some 360 days of sunshine each year, it is nicknamed "The Sunshine City."  It also offers a stunning array of attractions including world-class museum exhibitions, major league sports, boating, sailing, fishing, and world-class beaches.  

A relatively low cost of living, agreeable taxes, and progressive employment opportunities draw people to the area from around the nation and the world.  Add to these amenities quality schools, colleges and universities, top-notch health care, affordable housing, and outstanding arts and recreational facilities, and it is easy to see why St. Pete is so attractive.

The Tampa area is one of the world's most desirable areas in which to live, boasting a booming employment rate, year-round festivals and activities, and a climate that is consistently pleasant and sunny.  As a vibrant metropolitan area on Florida's beautiful West Coast, Tampa offers a unique blend of urban excitement set in a natural surrounding.  Roar down roller coasters in the morning; row down the nature rich Hillsborough River in the afternoon. Catch a ball game from the bleachers; catch some rays on the nearby beaches. This central Florida location offers easy access to the rest of the state, but you're bound to stay for all the excitement Tampa has to offer.

While originally the name of a body of water on the west coast of Florida, Tampa Bay has now come to represent the region made up of the many distinct communities connected by the Bay waters. The New York Times says, "Now, in fact, if not law, it's one big metropolitan area, laced together with bridges and freeways - everyone calls it Tampa Bay, and it is a prototypical example of the Sun Belt's explosive growth." Tampa Bay is not only the most populous and affluent metropolitan statistical area in Florida; it is also the largest television market in the state.

If you’re looking for a great way of life, it doesn’t get any better than Tampa, with no state income tax and low property taxes.

As a region, the commitment to excellence in education is impressive.  Tampa is also one of the most Literate Cities in America, ranking 16th in the country among cities with more than 250,000 residents.

You can choose to live in a historic bungalow - or a high rise by the Bay. You might live in a country club community, or a lakeside villa might be right for you. Tampa has a wide range of residential choices to fit every budget and lifestyle.
