Community

There are so many great communities and neighborhoods around the Tampa Bay Area. Whether you’re into boating, city life, want a larger yard, prefer condo living, prefer single family houses, townhouse, you name it, it’s here in our area! We really love the sense of community among residents around Tampa Bay.

One decision you’ll need to make when choosing a community is whether you want beach life or city life. However, the good news is that no matter which one you choose, you’ll be within 20 minutes of the other life. :)  You can drive from downtown Saint Petersburg to for instance Pass-a-Grille or St. Pete Beach after work and take in a sunset. And vice versa, drive from the beach to the St. Pete Pier (near downtown) for a dinner afterwork.

There’s certainly no right or wrong, we’re fortunate to have many great options of communities in the Tampa Bay Area!
