Transportation in Tampa

Tampa's public transportation system is decent, but not the most extensive. Here's what renters should know to get around:

HART Bus System: The Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) operates a bus system that covers most of Tampa. It's a budget-friendly option, but travel times can be long, and schedules may not perfectly align with your needs.
Trolley System: There are also trolley lines that run through specific areas, like downtown Tampa and Ybor City. These can be a convenient way to get around those areas, but they're limited in scope.
Biking: Tampa is becoming increasingly bike-friendly, with dedicated bike lanes and bike share programs like Coast Bike Share.

With all of that being said, most people in Tampa drive, and you may want to consider purchasing a care if you're moving to the area.

Weather in Tampa

Considered by many to be the lightning strike capital of the world, Tampa promises lots of heat, humidity and yes, flashy bolts of organic electricity firing down from the sky. While that can be dangerous, or a nuisance, or just pretty cool, we can thankfully report that Lightning strikes – meaning actual assaults by members of the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team on unsuspecting civilians – are on the decline. The summers are quite hot and humid here, and hurricanes are also an occasional concern.

Pet-Friendly Apartment Hunting in Tampa

Finding a pet-friendly apartment in Tampa can feel overwhelming, but don't despair! While the city boasts a vibrant mix of cultures and energy, pet policies can vary significantly.

Weight restrictions: While dogs are popular even in the busiest parts of the city, be aware that many buildings (especially high-rises) have weight limits for pets, often stricter than other locations.
Building size and amenities: Larger buildings and those with dedicated pet amenities like dog runs are more likely to be pet-friendly.

The good news? Tampa offers a surprising number of pet-friendly options. Here are some resources. Furthermore, major rental listing websites like Apartment List allow filtering by pet-friendliness. Simply select “Dog-Friendly” or “Cat-Friendly” in your preferences when you start your search.

FAQs about Apartments in Tampa

Tampa Neighborhoods

In many ways, Tampa is like a big cluster of small towns. Clusters, when they’re made of nuts and honey, are often delicious in cereal, but in a city? That’s up to you to decide.

Downtown Tampa

Chock full of business, the downtown area is also emerging as a rental area with newer condos and construction. Much of the city’s culture can be found here at places like the Tampa Theater, St. Pete Times Forum and the University of Tampa. Ybor City, the famous Cigar-inspired neighborhood, is just northeast of downtown and home to a few thousand Tampa residents. Westshore is Tampa’s core business center, but some rentals are here as well.

New Tampa

This area is home to a lot of renters, and has seen a lot of growth over the past two decades. There’s a good chance you’ll have a few places from New Tampa on your short list.

North Tampa

While the neighborhood of North Tampa itself is sparsely populated, it’s also adjacent to the University area which is home to the University of South Florida and plenty of apartments.

South Tampa

Home to MacDill Air Force Base and thousands of its employees, South Tampa is a more prosperous area. Lots of nice rentals are available in this desirable region.

West Tampa

Cultures converge here as a large Hispanic population calls this area home. There are both newer and older rental options here.
