Like, this house is "cute"...but it's in a very...erm...up and coming neighborhood I personally would not choose to raise my family in. The schools would be an absolute non-starter for me (and I'm a product of FL public schools and always roll my eyes at the "FL schools are universally awful!" comments...if that tells you anything). And it's within viewing distance of one of the busiest interstate stretches in the entire state. I can't imagine paying $650k for it (although I'm sure someone will).  [/quote]
I can get that whole list for $650K a 15-20 minute drive from downtown DC, why would I want it in Tampa?[/quote]

I found Tampa one of the most boring cities I've ever visited.  It's literally a bunch of really sprawly flat suburbs without any interesting landscape features.  There is water and beach area, but that's now where most families would live.  We went out downtown and found it underwhelming. We visited relatives who lived there in a family friendly suburb, it was homogenous and boring looking.  Not to say DC burbs are amazing feats of architecture, but at least we have hills here and more breaks in uniformity.   I am from CA, so I am not digging FL nature that much  :lol: [/quote]

So you spent a few days walking in circles in Wesley Chapel or something and so all of Tampa Bay is 'boring' and has no hills. Ps-there are hills there. You missed some stuff.[/quote]

yes, I did missed some stuff: the vibe.  It didn't seem to have any.  But I am sure it's must be amazing now.

I don't like FL overall for various reasons, different strokes.  I do like visiting Miami, but would not be dying to go to Tampa again, these two felt like different worlds, and Tampa was just so generic, and yeah, also flat.  Sorry, whatever "heights" or "hills" they have, I didn't notice much, and we did drive all over having to visit family.   there were golf courses and more golf courses, and playfields , and tract homes, and more tract home subdivisions. some nicer, some very bland, etc. [/quote]

If you only saw tract home subdivisions and golf courses, you missed a lot. Did you not go to South Tampa or Ybor? That’s where the historic areas are and they can be quite lovely. It’s not like it’s a major tourist destination or anything but it’s nice. [/quote]
