[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Brandon. It's a very typical suburb. It has some very nice neighborhoods, lots of chain restaurants, lots of new development. The traffic in and to Tampa is bad. That said, once you get to the crosstown toll road, it's not a bad drive to macdill. And I think you mentioned usf? Also not s bad drive from Brandon. The school pyramid around Bloomingdale high school is very good. If I moved back, I would live in south Tampa, which really has the most going on of anywhere on the hillsborough side of the Tampa area. It is mostly really nice, and no, you're not likely to find a mansion next to the ghetto. People do tear-downs in some of the older neighborhoods, so you might find a McMansion next to 70's style ranch. Plant high school is very good. I don't know anything about Westchase. I would avoid New Tampa as it is all boring new development, chain, etc. like Brandon, but worse in that respect. The farther into the suburbs you go toward the rural areas is where you will find rednecks (like plant city, or amywhere closer to Polk or pasco counties). Not so much in Tampa proper. Lots of tea partiers though. Don't let people scare you into thinking you're going somewhere really backwards. It's not that bad, certainly no worse than any other mid-size city. It really does have a lot to offer - the gulf beaches are amazing (Anna Maria island is my fave), you're close to Disney, and there is some culture and entertainment to be found. Plus your money will go far in buying a house there. [/quote]
