Tampa Real Estate and Military Relocation to MacDill AFB? What is the Best Neighborhood for YOU?
THE LATEST NEWS ON THE TAMPA REAL ESTATE MARKET, BUYING A HOME IN TAMPA, SEARCHING FOR TAMPA REAL ESTATE AND REAL ESTATE ISSUES AROUND THE WORLD, EVERY DAY, ON THE REAL ESTATE SIZZLE.
Tampa is home to MacDill Air Force Base, which includes Central CommandCentcom. The entire Tampa Bay area is filled with military families from all branches, as well as civilians who are employed as military consultants. In the past week, I have had several inquiries from Military families who have new orders to MacDill Air Force Base and have contacted me to help with their home search in Tampa.
I have relocated many military families to Tampa in the past 14 years, and they always ask about the best neighborhood to live in. The answer? It depends. Families with children are often on a budget and need a combination
of larger homes, good school districts and reasonable prices. Most families dont want to commute more than 30 40 minutes to get to MacDill AFB, so that narrows their focus to Westchase, New Tampa or the Brandon, Valrico, Riverview areas.
For those with smaller families, singles, or couples, they may want to live close to the base in South Tampa. Housing prices are higher, but offer many options with condos, townhomes and single-family homes in historic neighborhoods. Living in South Tampa keeps them close to the base, as well as downtown Tampa, and just minutes to the airport.
Check on the Tampa Neighborhoods section on right sidebar on The Real Estate Sizzle, or you can search for any category in the search box on the right.
If you are taking an assignment at MacDill AFB, or searching for Tampa Real Estate, I can help with your move to any Tampa neighborhood, including: South Tampa, Davis Islands, Beach Park, Sunset Park, Hyde Park, Culbreath Isles, Palma Ceia, Westchase, Waterchase, Odessa, Cheval, Avila, Brandon, Riverview, FishHawk, New Tampa, Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, Arbor Greene, Apollo Beach, South Shore, MiraBay, Golf Communities, Waterfront Homes, Luxury Homes in Tampa, Condos in Tampa and International Real Estatecontact me!
