Best neighborhoods to rent in Tampa?
Longtime lurker here, It's a a mid-size city city with about 393K people. With a population of 393K, Tampa is a mid-size city. Median household income is $71,302, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider — Tampa sits at 405.0 per 100K. Rent is about $1,567/month for a decent place. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
