Mild winters, warm sunshine, and a city rich with diversity and culture.

You’ll find that living in Tampa has all these perks and more. If you’re considering moving to the Tampa Bay area, you’ll be glad you picked it as your home. 

Florida is one of only nine states that doesn’t charge an income tax! This means that retirees don’t pay taxes on their social security benefits, pensions or other retirement income, and the state doesn’t have an estate or inheritance tax. Learn more about how this could benefit your move here.

The cost of living in Tampa is also relatively affordable compared to the rest of the country, sitting at 5% below the national average.

Things to do in Tampa

With a population of 2.8 million, the city has plenty of entertainment options.

If you’re looking for a weekend trip for the entire family, consider visiting the Florida Aquarium. You can get up close and personal with many different underwater species, including colorful tropical fish and sharks.

The city is also home to many sports teams - you can catch a Rays game at Tropicana Field or a hockey game at the Amalie Arena, home to the Tampa Bay Lightning. You can also take in some Buccaneers football. The Lightning are 3x Stanley Cup champions, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2x Super Bowl champions.

If you’re a big foodie, Tampa has it all. The cuisine here is just as unique and rich as our culture. With waterfront bistros and bars and upscale dining featuring fresh seafood and authentic Spanish dishes, you’ll want to try it all.

 And of course, don’t forget the beaches. Clearwater Beach is less than an hour's drive away from the city.
