Tampa, FL

Recently named by Money Magazine as one of the country’s 12 best places to live, Tampa, Florida is much more than palm trees and sandy white beaches.

With a population of 2 million, the greater Tampa Bay area enjoys a vibrant economy driven by tourism, health care, technology, agriculture and activities at the Port of Tampa. Residents enjoy an embarrassment of riches—copious leisure and sports activities, top-notch schools, thriving industry and more sunny days per year than Honolulu.

Located on the Gulf Coast, Tampa is a taste of the tropics, and exotic birds—egrets, ibis, spoonbills, pelicans, cormorants—are a common sight. A day sports fishing might bag you a king mackerel, bonita, sailfish, barracuda or other “big game” fish. And it’s not uncommon to have an orange, lemon or avocado tree in your own back yard.

But perhaps Tampa’s best perk of all is its relatively low cost of living—and the mini-holiday from the IRS, as residents pay no state or local income taxes.
