What it’s like to live in East Tampa

East Tampa offers authentic community character with affordable housing just minutes from downtown. Rental homes typically feature more yard space and parking than similarly priced options in trendier districts. While the neighborhood provides exceptional value with good access to major employment centers, some commercial corridors remain in development with limited dining and shopping options. Most suitable for budget-conscious renters comfortable with urban environments in transition who prioritize space and value over walkable amenities.

Urban renaissance defines Tampa's Channel District, where former warehouses and industrial buildings now house distinctive loft apartments alongside new high-rise developments. The neighborhood surrounds the Florida Aquarium and Sparkman Wharf's outdoor dining complex, creating walkable entertainment unusual in typically car-dependent Tampa neighborhoods. Though rental rates exceed suburban alternatives, many residents find the elimination of commuting time to downtown employment creates value beyond basic housing considerations. The district's excellent positioning provides easy access to both Ybor City's historic nightlife and Water Street's developing amenities without requiring vehicle transportation, creating genuine urban living rare in Florida's typically sprawling development patterns.

How Much Does It Cost To Live in an Apartment in Tampa?

Tampa’s cost of living is above the national average, but with over 250 sunny days a year, world-class beaches, and a thriving economy, it’s well worth the price.

The average rent in Tampa is $1,577. For a one-bedroom apartment rental, expect to pay around $1,335, while a two-bedroom averages $1,666. And with paradise at your doorstep, you might just save on vacations.

Also account for living costs when moving to Florida, like the cost of groceries, utilities, and transit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

For more affordable rentals in Tampa, FL, consider areas like Citrus Park or neighborhoods near MacDill Air Force Base. Old Seminole and South Tampa also offer budget-friendly rentals. While these spots are further from downtown, they provide excellent access to parks, shops, and restaurants — making them a great choice for Tampa residents searching for more budget-friendly apartments near them.

To live comfortably, aim to spend no more than 30% of your household income on rent. With Tampa’s average rent at $1,577, you’d need a household income of at least $5,250 a month.

Tampa's rental market has stabilized after recent increases, but with the city’s rising popularity, rents are unlikely to drop. Starting your search now for apartments in Tampa could help you lock in today’s rates before they climb.

Tampa offers some of everything that’s great about Florida. You’ve got warm weather in the winter, the inviting Gulf of Mexico, theme parks, and fantastic dining. It's not quite as flashy as a city like Miami, but it still offers a vibrant lifestyle with a mix of urban and suburban areas. You'll find plenty of things to do, from exploring museums and catching a professional sporting event to relaxing on the beach and enjoying the nightlife.

With the allure of no state income taxes, warm weather, three pro sports teams, and the beautiful Gulf Coast, there's lots to love about Tampa. However, as a renter, you probably want more information about the area before you decide whether it's right for you. One thing to note about Tampa apartments - the buildings are likely to be older. So you might start researching early if you want to live in a new model.

Average Rent in Tampa

The following rent averages come from current listings on our website. Rent prices listed are averages and may not reflect the cost of specific units. Rental prices can vary depending on factors like size, location, amenities, and availability.

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

Is Tampa expensive to rent?

At an average of $2,087 for a one-bedroom, Tampa is cheaper than some cities like New York and San Francisco, but it is on the more expensive side compared to the country overall. You would want to earn at least $85,000 a year in order to comfortably rent a one-bedroom in Tampa.

According to our data from March 2024, one-bedrooms in Tampa cost around $2,087 a month and 2-bedrooms around $2,536. Median rent, however, was down 1.5% over the previous year.

Is it cheaper to live in Tampa or Miami?

While a one-bedroom in Tampa rents for around $2,087, one-bedrooms in Miami cost closer to $2,877 a month according to our current listings. That makes Miami noticeably more expensive to rent in than 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.
