[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there are only a few people commenting who have any clue what they are talking about.  There are always a number of nitwits who think it's amusing to make comments like "It's the most Florida part of Florida."  Trust me, these folks go to FL a week or two each year and drop $10-20K on a Disney vacation, but other than that they don't know what they are talking about.

There are a lot of great things about the Tampa area and that general part of Florida, but you aren't going to learn much about it here.[/quote]

I was just going to say something like this. I lived in Sarasota for years and often went to Tampa. Most people who are commenting have no idea what they are talking about, although some do (it’s not close to the beach; traffic is bad; sprawl). There are plenty of families, my best friend raised her 4 kids in Tampa and one went to Princeton, another to Wash U, the third to Northwest and the fourth is still in HS. It’s not a bunch of “rednecks” like people would like you to think, nor is it all strip clubs. For the record, Sarasota also has a lot of families (and is close to the beach).

Housing prices depend on where you are looking.

Go down and check it out—I wish I had a good realtor to recommend but I don’t know enough people in the area anymore. Florida can be a very nice quality of life, especially if you get a boat (you will meet lots of people) and like a bit of a slower lifestyle compared to the NE.[/quote]
