Are you ready to retire and move to sunny Florida? I bet you are! And did you know that Tampa Florida was recently voted the top place in the United States to retire in? Many younger people move to Florida as well but the older 55+ generation is moving here in the 10s of thousands. Most of them move here for the weather having put up with cold rain and sleet along with freezing snow blizzards for many years. As you age, it gets harder and harder to put up with northern temps. While it is hot and muggy here, we benefit from the constant breeze off the gulf of Mexico and our temperatures are roughly 10 degrees lower than south Florida. Some of the other attractions are the International Airport (TIA) where you can fly just about anywhere you want; especially when you miss the grandkids. The sports teams are also very popular with many senior citizens as they have more time on their hands to go to games and become an enthusiast fan. This area offers every kind of neighborhood from downtown urban, luxury waterfront, to countless active adult communities that are affordable and welcoming. Most 55+ communities are toward the Pinellas County side of the area where all the best beaches, golf courses, outdoor parks and recreation are. Come take a look!
