I hear there are some real steals in Overtown…..



Treasure Island


+ 50 MOVES!

Clearwater beach is my favorite!!!

Im trying to find a place on the beach.. any ideas?

how far is clearwater beach FL from tampa FL

Google it.....fuck google Treasure Island, FL too!!! its nice! :thumbsup

i dont know anyone in FL at all.. I want somewhere i can meet people and mingle easily.. somewhere like SoBe.. I dont want to be in the suburbs with single family homes all around

Dude South Beach is kinda unique unto its own......St. Pete Beach is as similar as you will find.....but its not nearly anywhere close.....just to let you know the scientologists has their HQ in that area......and like people have said Tampa has its + and its -.....So I would recommend if your determined on either one stay just a few months in both.....then decide.....you are also looking at currently "out of season" factors as well. it factors more into Snowbird places mainly but its like day and night when "in season" begins.....

Stop asking where stuff is and how far it is and learn to use google maps for fuck sake.

depending on location, one place could be 5min away or 45min away.... example NJ to philadelphia is 10mins if you live in South Jersey off Rt 1, but its 2hrs away if you live in Hackensack NJ....

Google maps has deceived me a lot.. my problem right now is just trying to figure out shit.. so im prolly gonna live in both and then decide..

bump for friendly FL crew

Its been mentioned...but Treasure Island.

Miami = great place to visit
Tampa = great place to live

Also....for the record....Tampa's best night spots haven't even been mentioned yet. There are place that are FAR better than Ybor city. Channelside, Hyde Park....etc way better and way more chicks that you can actually talk to.

These 2 bldgs are both on the ocean side..
www.decoplagecondominium.com or www.roneypalacecondo.com

be prepared that if you live on that side of south beach (beach side as opposed to bay side) it will be crazy. There's always tons of ppl around and is party central..Clubs restaurants, bars, hookers ;)

If you want a fun place to live on bay side.. check out the www.flamingosouthbeach.com

The pool scene on Sunday at the flamingo is second to none.. Place is probably 1/2 Hot girls but be prepared for a college type atmosphere :thumbsup
If you live in south beach u hardly use your car, u can drive a scooter or bike everywhere..

Also, tampa and south beach are very different..like night and day.. If you want fun, sun, blue water beach, hot girls, Caribbean style living, miami beach is the best.. if you want to drive everywhere and deal with rednecks.. tampa is more your speed ;)

whats the difference between the bay side and beach side?

if you live on the bay, you face west over the bay and downtown miami, if you live on other side, you face east and ocean and no land.

why don't you just visit both spots and see what you like better? spend a week in each

yup.. gonna go visit.... just gotta find a short term vacation rental..

i like Miami

Hey Plate Tectonics! Hurry the fuck up and take Florida!

huh???????

Hit me up (sig has contact info). My friend owns a hotel on Collins 1 block from beach in sobe. Hell give u good deal for a week rental. The units are studios.. with frig and stove

Maybe Tampa, never been there, but sounds like fun!

so you not going to give away your "spots"....kinda like "proprietary software"...huh?

I'll keep that in mind for my next trip :winkwink: I usually stay at the Chesterfield :1orglaugh

I named them in general.....lol

Are rental prices negotiable in FL.. say a complex rents for $2,000/month, can you offer $1.5k/month?

AGREED! Tampa is my vote.. I love living here!

so can you negotiate rent prices in tampa

bump for tampa crew!

Anytime u want man.. My boy is very kool and will hook u up.. (unless u wanna party and trash his place.. If thats the case then u need to goto chesterfield :1orglaugh)

How much your boy charge?

depends.. i told u to hit me up and ill give u his contact info..

VERY EASY answers.

With wife and or children (or the desire for this) then Tampa, definitely gulf coast. Single and unattached with a high disposable income and penchant for trouble then absolutely Miami.

As far as data centers go, definitely Miami!

:)

Brad

well i kinda qualify for miami.lol

There's a datacenter in Miami? :winkwink:

Absolutely. You can negotiate rent prices anywhere in Florida right now....

i know the soho area has everything.. is it possible to live on the beach close enough to everything.. if so whats that beach/street called? I want to rent a house/apt on the beach..


BTW how much negotiation? say apartment is listed at $2,000/month, can you offer say $1,500?

Is that place close to everything? sorry for asking but no way i can know even with google maps,etc..

ignore last post ^^

one final bump!!

The beach is a community unto itself really, and while fun I wouldn't call it close to nightclubs. Night spots...yes. You're looking for Gulf Blvd. As far as the negotiation goes....just ask someone. It never hurts.

where do you live in tampa?

Miami? Anything suits your best.

yeah its all very confusing

its FUCKING FLORIDA....its supposta be confusing.....


just dont go near the area of the state near the bible belt....strippers get fined by the popo for laws referred to as "costume violations" and end up with wacked out police records

I like Miami better. Then again I grew up there. My grandparents live in Tampa and I think it is a bit boring. I would check out Temple Terrace. My aunt lives there and it is nice, right by Tampa.

so tampa is boring?

compaired to MIA.....Tampa IS boring.....

but its all within YOU......


what kind of cash are you willing to spend......I-75 goes from Tampa to Miami in around 4 hrs one way....so WTF.....its not like its LA and NY.

Been thinking of making a move out to Tampa. Any more input?

Niether.. just go to Hawaii.

$2000 / 2br 2.5 bath townhouse
