East Tampa

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.

Port Tampa City

What it’s like to live in Port Tampa City

Maritime heritage shapes Port Tampa City, where this peninsula community maintains working waterfront character alongside residential areas with surprising affordability given the waterfront positioning. Most rentals offer more generous space than similarly-priced properties in trendier Tampa neighborhoods, while the strategic positioning provides both downtown access and recreational boating opportunities from nearby marinas. Though some industrial operations remain active creating occasional noise considerations, most residents find the combination of affordability, water proximity, and authentic community character outweighs these factors, especially given the value proposition compared to premium-priced harbor districts commanding extreme rents despite similar waterfront adjacency.

Tampa Rent Report: December 2025

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.

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.

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 it cheaper to live in Tampa or Miami?

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.
