COST OF LIVING
The Tampa Bay area is very affordable in comparison with other cities in Florida. Our average housing costs are lower, and transportation is reasonable. Florida in general is an expensive state for all types of insurance, but at least you're not paying state income tax here!
The Tampa Bay area is one of the fastest growing regions in the country for all of the reasons I listed above, and so many more that I haven't gotten to yet!
