Tampa Florida Heads

Only 3 condos for sale under 400k on trulia
The comment below is spot on... Read an article this morning that housing is averaging a 30% increase in addition to homeowner insurance being stupid high... The city is cool, but it's definitely going to cost more to live out here... It's transforming into a tech city so I don't see the COL dipping anytime soon...
Unless you’re making around 100k Now is not a good time to move to Tampa. After being #2 for the past 2 years Tampa just passed Phoenix as the hottest housing market and the highest Climb of cost-of-living….Florida is also the most expensive state to live in now

Real estate: Why Tampa suddenly has the hottest housing market in the U.SReal estate: Why Tampa suddenly has the hottest housing market in the U.S


Got my house for 700k houses in my neighborhood are selling for 1.2-1.5 million and off the market in days

I would wait until this shit gets back to normal everyone is moving to this bitch

Gotcha

Nightlife is cool - Ybor is the go to area if want a nice mixture and a solid Black presence... Soho area if you want to scout for the college hoes... Jackson's or American Social if you want the young professional chicks - all races... If you want all Black, 7th & Grove, The Kennedy or Whiskey North are the spots...

Women, all flavors you want...The Black women are on point, so are the Spanish chicks... White hoes, not my preference, but they are easy to pull out here, a lot of them truly don't like white boys... Overall it's easy to find and connect with women, it's a beach town in a sense so there's an aura of free-spirit you get from a lot of these chicks...

Anything East of 275 is mostly Black and around Ybor as well - considered the hood... Everywhere else you have a solid mixture... Wesley Chapel and Riverview are pretty nice middle-class Black communities... The closer you are to the city the highest the COL, so a lot of people are starting to move further out...

Black culture is not heavy here at all, I will say that, but then again I've lived in majority Black cities and environments most of my life... I said that to say that it's a challenge finding events or businesses for US... I enjoy Tampa, but when I need to mentally, I slide to Houston, N.O., or ATL to get my Black Culture replenishment...

Food wise, I always recommend Konan's BBQ (black owned) and West Tampa Sandwich Shop - order the Obama (Cuban sandwich with honey on top)... The food wack out here overall... I stick to the mom & pop Spanish joints mostly...

I'll be the one to say it, the strip clubs wack as shit out here too and it's a BUNCH out here - when I moved here I found out per capita, Tampa has the most strip clubs in the US... You can definitely pull a bitch out the club, but overall I consider these joints titty bars and not strip clubs... But again, being from Houston, my perception of a strip club is way different than what's available here in Tampa... I like clappers and pole work, not getting that out here... But there are some pretty sluts that grace the stages - it's all your preference... Most of the joints are occupied by white hoes and a handful of other races... The Black joints like Hush and Hollywood Nites(before it closed) were poppin tho...

Bruh I'm in Town n Country.... I co-sign everything you posted... Instead of Winn-Dixie, I suggest hitting up Publix and Trader Joe's - quality produce and eye candy...

Konan's is the SHIT!!! Every day, you got lines of expensive cars from the nearby office buildings queueing up to get their BBQ... in Carver City, a predominantly Black suburb. For Cuban food, check out the La Teresita restaurant.
 
Gotcha

Finances aside, pretty comfortable city to live in... I look at it this way I live where people frequently travel to for vacation... Good fit for introverts & extroverts because he the indoor - outdoor opportunities...

Best BBQ without a doubt, cool ass family too... I'll check em out La Teresita, I remember passing by it over near the stadium, I normally go to Cuban Breezes... My go to for Mexican food is Loli's for tacos and La Hacienda for a full dish - their margaritas get you right!
 
Davidoff is a good spot to kick back smoke cigars, sip, watch sports, socialize... Every now and then you'll catch some attractive women... Black representation is on point, but overall a diverse atmosphere...

 
Took a trip out there this week

Mons was kinda wack, def titty bar vibe
Penthouse had some bad hoes,but it must have been baller night. Parking lot filled with lambos rarries rolls and other super cars. Dollhouse was my fave. It was filled with baddies and they were friendly, they showed me love all night came around for dances or just to talk shit.
Sparkman wharf was underwhelming, its small as shit and it hot AF just to be out there in the open.
American social was poppin last night!
Rose Bar was a nice upscale black experience restaurant.
Armerature workss was ok
Ybor…. It was ok if your into that kinda thing, lots 20 yr olds. Went there three nights in a row. White lies and gasperas were tne only spots i was feeling.

Hyde Park…. WOW ill leave it at that
Downtown seems like the best place for a young single. Everything was a 10 min drive away. Even hopped on the water taxi and was able to go places
 
Just a heads up for anybody in the area that has Spectrum internet... They are offering a rentention service discount for existing members, but it's not public knowledge... I called to cancel my service today with the intentions of switching to T-Mobile home Internet...

The Black woman I talked to asked me why I was honest, and told me she could knock my bill down to $54, while keeping the same max-speed... Statement went from $89 to $54 for the next 12 months just like that - and reduced my current bill (but that's cause I was flirting, I think)... Apparently the 12months it's available to a bunch of existing members but you can only get it by calling in...
