SOME OF THE MANY REASONS WE LOVE TAMPA!

With the 4th fastest growing job market in the country Tampa Bay is fast becoming one of the hottest areas in the country to live!  Plus, its easy to get in and out of town since Tampa International Airport is consistently voted one of the TOP airports in the WORLD!   

  • We are home to the famous Gasparilla Fest each year!

  • Glazer Children's Museum

  • Tampa Museum of Art

  • We're home to the longest continuous sidewalk in the world! - Bayshore Blvd. which is full of people exercising around the clock!

  • University of Tampa

  • Sports Teams - Professional football, baseball, soccer and hockey teams!

  • We also LOVE outdoor festivals - while the rest of the country is locked away to escape the cold Tampa hosts some of the best concerts, art and food festivals in the country!

  • Berns Steakhouse which has the largest working wine cellar in the WORLD

  • Conde Nast has voted it one of the best airports in the WORLD

Things that make Florida families different:

  • Flip-flops are a perfectly acceptable form of attire - year round!

  • It's perfectly normal to cool off after school by taking a jet ski ride around the bay.

  • You don't get thru childhood without having at least ONE family photo taken on the porch at University of Tampa.

  • They even set an ice skating rink up in the park each holiday season!

  • Hurricane days are just Florida kid's version of "snow days".....

  • You see Derek Jeter and Joe Madden at Starbucks each day and think nothing of it.

  • Even though we are a major city, each neighborhood has it's own "small town" feel so you never feel lost!

  • You get season tickets to Busch Gardens every year

  • We play outdoor sports year round!

  • Gasparilla is your favorite holiday

  • You break out the winter clothes when the temp hits the 60s

  • Although we don't suggest it IS possible to leave your house at 1 pm and catch a 2 pm flight!
