Fortunately, Tampa has a lot of variety to offer. From downtown high-rises, bayside houses, and suburban outskirts, the hardest part is choosing which district among the many fantastic options you want to call home.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the best neighborhoods Tampa has to offer:<\/p>\n<h3>Downtown<\/h3>\n<p>Downtown Tampa is the most urbanized place to live in the city. It has innumerable attractions, so there&#8217;s never a dull moment. You have direct access to numerous restaurants, offices, parks, hotels, universities, and retail shops. The population of downtown Tampa is only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.point2homes.com\/US\/Neighborhood\/FL\/Hillsborough-County\/Downtown-Tampa-Demographics.html#:~:text=Downtown%20Tampa%20is%20an%20area,with%20a%20population%20of%2014%2C409.\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">around 1,500<\/a>, so you get the city feel without the overwhelming amount of traffic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Tampa-Florida-Skyline.jpg\" alt=\"Tampa, Florida, USA downtown skyline on the Hillsborough River.\" width=\"950\" height=\"634\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Tampa-Florida-Skyline.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Tampa-Florida-Skyline-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Tampa-Florida-Skyline-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Tampa-Florida-Skyline-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although downtown Tampa is mostly known as a commercialized location, there are countless affordable apartments and condos throughout the neighborhood. Downtown is jam-packed with some of Tampa&#8217;s finest attractions, including the David A. Straz Performing Arts Center.<\/p>\n<h3>Hyde Park<\/h3>\n<p>Hyde Park is a well-known district with a village-like feel, despite being within walking distance from downtown Tampa. It&#8217;s family-oriented with outstanding schools and high-quality housing options. If your dream is to live in an old Tampa bungalow home, Hyde Park is your opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a surprising amount of open space in Hyde Park even though it&#8217;s just southwest of downtown. The district offers several basketball courts, baseball fields, and other recreational areas to bring the residents together. As if it couldn&#8217;t get any better, you&#8217;ll be steps away from the beautiful Bayshore Boulevard boardwalk.<\/p>\n<h3>Channelside<\/h3>\n<p>The Channelside neighborhood is located on a peninsula in Tampa, and the Ybor Channel and Hillsborough River surround it. It&#8217;s home to various important places of interest, including the Amalie Arena for watching Tampa&#8217;s professional sports teams, the Convention Center, the Florida Aquarium, and the Channelside Bay Plaza with its various shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Channelside has a newer feel to it compared to other districts in Tampa. Accommodation is primarily in the form of modern high-rise apartments. Relocating to the Channelside neighborhood is ideal for young professionals. You&#8217;ll be within walking distance to restaurants, a waterfront boardwalk, and even downtown Tampa.<\/p>\n<h3>Seminole Heights<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainhomes.com\/history-of-seminole-heights-tampa\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Seminole Heights<\/a> is part of the handful of historic neighborhoods in Tampa. It&#8217;s packed with 20th-century bungalow homes.<\/p>\n<p>For years many of these bungalows suffered from increased crime and little maintenance due to economic depression. Now, Seminole Heights is an attractive and safe place to live, thanks to Tampa&#8217;s booming economy and real estate investors who&#8217;ve remodeled the homes.<\/p>\n<p>An advantage to living in Seminole Heights is that you&#8217;ll have access to the longest stretch of the Hillsborough River in Tampa. Even better, you can look for property for sale that&#8217;s directly on the river.<\/p>\n<h3>Bayshore Beautiful<\/h3>\n<p>Bayshore Boulevard is Tampa&#8217;s pride and joy since it makes up a portion of Tampa&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top-ten-travel-list.com\/blog\/exercise\/worlds-longest-sidewalk-tampas-bayshore-blvd\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">longest sidewalk in the world<\/a>. Although many people think of Bayshore Boulevard when they hear Bayshore Beautiful, in reality, this Tampa neighborhood sits at the southernmost end of Bayshore Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>With houses forming neat rows leading away from the beautiful Bayshore Boulevard, this district has a residential feel with conveniences nearby that don&#8217;t require fighting tons of Tampa traffic. For example, a Publix Supermarket and Target border the outskirts of Bayshore Beautiful.<\/p>\n<h3>Davis Islands<\/h3>\n<p>Davis Islands is a neighborhood across a small bridge from downtown Tampa. Once you cross it, you&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;ve arrived in a costly, laid-back island town. Colorful Mediterranean-style buildings await you, along with a yacht club, Dog Beach, and adorable cafes and pubs.<\/p>\n<p>While there are some relatively modest apartments for rent on Davis Islands, for the most part, living on the island requires some serious cash to afford the massive houses that line Tampa Bay. Davis Islands even has its own celebrity\u2014MLB legend Derek Jeter.<\/p>\n<h3>West Tampa<\/h3>\n<p>Situated just west of downtown is West Tampa, an &#8220;up and coming&#8221; neighborhood with a ton to offer. West Tampa residents enjoy a privileged location close to the International Plaza and Bay Street, a vibrant outdoor shopping center full of unique restaurants and high-end retailers.<\/p>\n<p>You can find several old cigar factories spread throughout the neighborhood since West Tampa used to be one of the most popular production sites. Over the last few decades, West Tampa has become quite a culturally diverse neighborhood, with a wide range of age demographics.<\/p>\n<h3>Ybor City<\/h3>\n<p>Ybor City is one of Tampa&#8217;s most historic neighborhoods and has a unique story. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/nr\/travel\/american_latino_heritage\/ybor_city_historic_district.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vicente Martinez-Ybor<\/a>, a cigar manufacturer from Spain, founded the town. After about five decades, Ybor City grew to produce hundreds of millions of cigars every year.<\/p>\n<p>During the late 1890s and up until the Great Depression, Ybor City enjoyed prosperity, offering well-paid jobs to thousands of residents. After the Great Depression, the demand for cigars decreased drastically, so nearly all of those residents lost their jobs. However, the city made a comeback in the 1980s when several artists flooded in and began gentrifying the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<h3>Gulfport<\/h3>\n<p>Located in the Tampa Bay area close to the coast, Gulfport is a cozy district filled with attractive properties and shopping areas. You&#8217;ll have plenty of housing options to choose from, including bungalows, blockhouses, seaside condos, and more. Many describe living in Gulfport as a way to slow things down from the active Tampa lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>People ranging from artists to business people to retirees and families choose to make Gulfport their home. So, if a laid-back atmosphere is your goal for relocating to Tampa, Gulfport is an excellent option for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Harbour Island<\/h3>\n<p>We saved Harbour Island for last because it&#8217;s a well-known neighborhood near downtown Tampa, but it&#8217;s not the best fit for many people due to its high-priced real estate and limited amenities on the island.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the island is for resident access only, controlled by a gate. However, within the gated island, you&#8217;ll have access to several high-end cafes, shops, and restaurants. That said, the island is small, so you&#8217;ll likely find yourself taking the short trip into downtown Tampa frequently.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ca-widget\" data-token=\"q764136c11e9\"><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/secure.money.com\/embeds\/embedder.js?v=1\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/sell-with-our-partner-agents\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/top-agents-in-content-1.png\" alt=\"picture of an excited male real estate agent that will sell your house with a negotiated discount on commissions\" width=\"750\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/top-agents-in-content-1.png 750w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/top-agents-in-content-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/top-agents-in-content-1-150x75.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"anchor\" id=\"2\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"border: #4b4b4b solid 3px; background-color: #ECEBEF; padding: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\">How Is the Job Market in Tampa?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tampa is one of the best cities in Florida for job demand.

The healthcare industry is massive in Tampa, and some of its top employers are the Tampa General Hospital and BayCare Health System.<\/p>\n<p>Another significant employer in Tampa is the United States Air Force. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macdill.af.mil\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">MacDill Air Force Base<\/a> currently employs around 2,300 personnel and is expected to grow over the next 5 to 10 years. Tourism and hospitality also make up for a large portion of the job market in Tampa. There&#8217;s the massive 335-acre Busch Gardens along with several beach resorts and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Universities are another major employer in Tampa. The private University of Tampa sits right downtown. Despite its relatively small size, it&#8217;s made impressive expansions over the years, allowing it to employ more locals.<\/p>\n<p>The University of South Florida is a public university with over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usf.edu\/about-usf\/facts-statistics.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">50,000 students<\/a>. Located at the northernmost side of Tampa near Busch Gardens, the University of South Florida is a massive employer of Tampa residents.<\/p>\n<h3>Industries<\/h3>\n<p>The top industries for employment in Tampa include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avionics<\/li>\n<li>Business and Information<\/li>\n<li>Health<\/li>\n<li>Education<\/li>\n<li>Maritime services<\/li>\n<li>Tourism<\/li>\n<li>Hospitality<\/li>\n<li>Financial Services<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Top Companies to Work For<\/h3>\n<p>Combining several factors, such as diversity, salary, size, and benefits, the top companies to work for in Tampa include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tampa General Hospital<\/li>\n<li>American Express<\/li>\n<li>Ceridian<\/li>\n<li>TD Ameritrade<\/li>\n<li>University of Tampa<\/li>\n<li>University of South Florida<\/li>\n<li>Syniverse<\/li>\n<li>WellCare Health Plans<\/li>\n<li>Coast Dental<\/li>\n<li>HCI Group<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these larger businesses, Tampa offers many unique, smaller forms of employment. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordexchange.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Oxford Exchange<\/a> is a horse stable turned restaurant, caf\u00e9, and coworking space. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tampabayfarmersmarket.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tampa Bay Farmers Market<\/a> is a place for artisans to sell their work. Small boutique shops in Hyde Park and Ybor also offer local employment.<\/p>\n<a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"sue-icon sue-icon-no-url\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"sui sui-question-circle\" style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:24px;background:#ffffff;color:#ff0942;-webkit-border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;border-radius:0px;padding:4px\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"ctalink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/how-it-works\/\">3 Ways To Sell A House Without High Commissions?

The Tampa real estate market has become extremely competitive in recent years, primarily due to big investors putting a significant amount of their cash in residential and commercial properties.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/18142\/FL\/Tampa\/housing-market\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Redfin<\/a>, the average Tampa home sells within fourteen days and has three offers from which to choose. If these numbers don&#8217;t sound striking enough, Redfin explains that the price of Tampa homes has increased by about 16% since the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>You might be wondering\u2014how much does the average home cost in Tampa? Like anywhere, location is everything. As a general rule, the closer you&#8217;re located to downtown Tampa, the more expensive housing will be.<\/p>\n<p>Districts such as Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Harbor Island, and Bayshore Beautiful have the highest-priced homes and apartments.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/personal-finance\/042214\/what-175000-will-buy-tampast-peteclearwater-real-estate-market.asp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Investopedia<\/a> published a piece on what kind of home $175,000 will get you in the Tampa area (which, in their study, includes nearby St. Petersburg and Clearwater). Their findings showed that a person could purchase a one or more bedroom home or a condo for $175,000. In reality, these numbers are most common outside of Tampa&#8217;s center.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of Zillow, let&#8217;s take a closer look at average real estate prices in Tampa, according to the districts we covered earlier. We&#8217;ve listed them from the highest average price to the lowest average price. Note that some districts, such as downtown and Channelside, primarily contain apartments and condos instead of houses.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Ybor City:<\/strong> $210,228<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gulfport:<\/strong> $262,278<\/li>\n<li><strong>West Tampa:<\/strong> $281,586<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seminole Heights:<\/strong> $294,536<\/li>\n<li><strong>Downtown:<\/strong> $327,864<\/li>\n<li><strong>Channelside:<\/strong> $389,403<\/li>\n<li><strong>Harbour Island:<\/strong> $420,296<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bayshore Beautiful:<\/strong> $681,878<\/li>\n<li><strong>Davis Islands:<\/strong> $852,872<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyde Park:<\/strong> $1,170,000<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How Does the Cost of Tampa Homes Compare to the United States?<\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zillow.com\/home-values\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Zillow<\/a>, the average home in the U.S. costs approximately $263,350. Their studies indicate that home values have increased by 7.5% in the past twelve months. However, it appears that&#8217;s only the beginning. Within the next 12 months, Zillow expects home prices to rise an additional 10.3%.<\/p>\n<p>So, how does the average U.S. home price compare to Tampa?<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/Tampa_FL\/overview\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Realtor.com<\/a>, Tampa homes average just under $300,000 as their listing price. They sell at around $290,000. Either way, Tampa&#8217;s real estate is above the national average.<\/p>\n<p>Demand for real estate in Tampa isn&#8217;t new. Back in 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/trulia\/2017\/01\/04\/10-hottest-real-estate-markets-to-watch-in-2017\/?sh=19166f45340c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes<\/a> listed Tampa as a real estate market to watch out for because of its job market and attractions. While it&#8217;s exciting to relocate to such a booming area, you may feel intimidated as the buyer. Let&#8217;s face it\u2014in today&#8217;s current market, the seller has the leverage.<\/p>\n<p>To give you the best chance possible of closing a deal on the house of your dreams, prepare yourself by following these strategies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get preapproved for a mortgage.<\/strong> Doing so will make you look serious about buying a home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stick with your budget.<\/strong> It&#8217;s easy to get caught up in the moment and bid more than you&#8217;re able to afford.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t dawdle. <\/strong>The moment a home becomes available, drop everything as quickly as feasible, and see it.

Here&#8217;s some good news\u2014according to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salary.com\/research\/cost-of-living\/tampa-fl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Salary.com<\/a>, the cost of living in Tampa is 5.6% lower than the national average.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at the average cost of some of Tampa&#8217;s most common living expenses.<\/p>\n<h3>Food and Groceries<\/h3>\n<p>Tampa has many grocery stores ranging from economical options like Walmart to expensive health food stores such as Whole Foods. If you&#8217;re looking for something in between the two, Publix is an excellent option.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatistan.com\/cost-of-living\/tampa\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Expatistan<\/a>, you can expect your groceries to cost the following approximate prices:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 dozen eggs:<\/strong> $2.73<\/p>\n<p><strong>500 grams of cheese:<\/strong> $7.00<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 bottle of good quality red wine:<\/strong> $13.00<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 pounds of apples:<\/strong> $3.55<\/p>\n<p>If you go out for lunch, you can expect to spend around $14.00, assuming you don&#8217;t go over the top with your order.<\/p>\n<h3>Utilities<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.numbeo.com\/cost-of-living\/in\/Tampa\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Numbeo<\/a> estimates that a one-bedroom apartment will run you approximately $158.49 per month in basic utilities.

You can expect 60 Mbps of the Internet to cost you around $60.54 per month.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the exact amount of your utility bill will depend on how large your home is and how many people live there.<\/p>\n<h3>Transportation<\/h3>\n<p>Driving is the most common way of getting around Tampa, although the bus network is extensive.
