Where Are The “A-rated” Schools in Tampa? Tampa Real Estate Market News
The Latest News on the Tampa Real Estate Market, Living in Tampa and Buying Property Around the World, every day, on The Real Estate Sizzle.
I am busy relocating several families, with children, to the Tampa area this summer, and the number one question is always about the school district.
Florida schools are rated on a grading system. Most parents moving into the Tampa Real Estate Market want to look at homes in the “A” rated school districts, so I compiled a list of all “A” Rated schools in both Hillsborough County, and Pasco County, which is just north of Tampa. Just send me an e-mail and I will send it to you!

Enjoy Some of Tampa’s “Indoor” Activities to Escape the Summer Heat…Tampa Real Estate News and More!
The Latest News on Living in Tampa, the Tampa Real Estate Market and Where to Live Outside of the U.S., every day, on The Real Estate Sizzle…
The daytime weather in Tampa can only be described in one of two ways, either “sweltering”, or “raining”! While we have “near perfect” weather, for most of the year, the summer months are very humid, so looking for some “indoor” fun is very appealing.
The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center always has a great line-up of plays and events, including the popular “Broadway Series”.
This week, at the Shimberg Playhouse, “Private Lives” opens for a two-week run. You can buy tickets online, and check out future events, as well.
I’ll keep you posted on other ways to “stay cool” in the heat of the summer!

New Wine Bar in Downtown Tampa Opens with Less Than Rave Reviews! Tampa Real Estate News and More
The Latest News about Living in Tampa, and The Tampa Real Estate Market, every day on the Real Estate Sizzle!
A review by Michael Nemcik, my first guest blogger and local foodie!
When I first heard that Downtown Tampa was opening a new wine bar I was not an early adopter. I usually choose to enjoy South Tampa, as it seems to have so much more to offer. Other than Fly Bar, there isnt much reason to venture north of Kennedy. When a reputable source of wine knowledge told me he was involved, I thought that I would have to try it. I am a big fan of wine bars, mostly because of The Wine Room in Winter Park, Orlando which I have been visiting for quite some time.
Taps, located adjacent to SkyPoint tries to be a wine bar / lounge / night club at the same time. It features a large selection of artisan and craft beer on the left hand side, with push button wine selections on the right. I have been three times, compelled by friends to visit mostly. It seems more attention is paid to the beer than the wine, as the selection neither changed nor grew in the times I have visited. The soft, Miami style couches with a distinct lounge feel are usually setup outside, sometimes packed and roped off. Breitling watches and spray on tans make you feel like you are at the hot spot.
The first time I went I believe XM radio was playing some uncharacteristic rock, and the sun glaring through the naked windows gave me a micro tan, as I sipped my micro brew. The lovely waitress proved to be just expensive good looks when she guessed on two of the five cheeses arriving on our lack luster cheese plate, one of which was uninspired cheddar.
Bottom line, go for drinks. Taps is like a welcomed launch/landing pad where one can begin on a voyage to Ybor City or Channel Side, or finish up with a soft red treasure.
