moving to tampa fl need help

[SteelCityBoy]

I used to live in the Brandon / Riverview area for 8 great years. I absolutely loved my time there. It is a quick 15 min drive on the crosstown expressway to MacDill AFB. You could get there without paying tolls in probably 25 mins. I left there October of 2007 and I remember even then having nice affordable house rentals in the area. There are plenty of great appartments to choose from too if you are looking for that type of a rental.

I really liked the Brandon / Riverview area because of its location. There's enough commercialized area around you that you can get to anything and everything but it still had the nice suburban feel to it too. The bay is only a quick drive away, Clearwater Beach is about 45mins, and Orlando is just about an hour.

Good luck with the move. If you would like some more insights or details just PM me and I would be happy to help in any way.
