- Tampa's Downtown is Revamped and Looks Amazing! I always like to show you what Tampa’s neighborhoods and suburbs look like, but the downtown area has undergone a massive transformation and while out on our date the other night, my wife made a comment that it was almost like we were on a vacation somewhere else experiencing something totally new. Tampa’s downtown is really becoming something special, so today I want to give you a special tour of our downtown, touch on some real estate, all the things to do by day and night and make sure to hang with me because I want to share with you our date night downtown crawl which I think ended up making the perfect night out and who knows maybe you will follow in our footsteps… stay tuned.

Tampa is so different now compared to when I would visit as a kid. I’m from South FL and would visit the area occasionally for Busch gardens and Clearwater. Most areas at the time seemed run-down, industrial or not safe. It’s completely different now. They’ve poured so much money into it and revitalized the city. It’s beautiful, I couldn’t believe the changes when we visited this spring. One of the biggest reasons we’re now building a house in the Tampa suburbs.
Wow great story! Thanks for sharing and yes i agree its so different than when i was a kid!
if only pay in the state didnt suck, if i could stay then Tampa would be my choice
The state pay is that bad?
Compared to the cost of living yes. This is like a semi-Low cost of living state with high cost of living. It leans heavily in Service, tourism ,real estate, construction, and Medical jobs. Hell its only recently that the state has put a little bit more into tech, and thats usually a higher paying field but not here. I'll make significantly more and pay less on rent if i leave the state. Some cities like Jacksonville have alot of trouble getting 911 responses because the call centers are understaffed due to the low pay and all the recent inflation + insurance increases. @@JoshuaAvery-gp5dm
lived in Tampa just before the Ybor City area by the icehouse for 30 years. loved it there. rent went insane for the last 5 years so we relocated to Gibsonton for 1/4 of the usual rent. best decision ever. i still work out of Tampa and the Bayshore Boulevard and Davis Islands areas as a private independent contractor.
Downtown has definitely changed in the last few years, it's crazy how much it developed. It is super fun and there are plenty of things to do. Great shots in the video too!
Appreciate that and thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the video. I just moved to Tampa a couple of months ago and I find downtown Tampa terribly confusing. It does not have a grid system like downtown St. Pete and there is no public transportation to get you from Point A to Point B. It might be great to walk around in November but from May through September, probably not so feasible. Also having the Selmon Parkway cut through the middle of downtown creates a lot of creepy under the highway areas that don't seem to safe. Perhaps I need a few more visits to downtown Tampa but I would definitely make the 20 mile drive to downtown St. Pete rather than downtown Tampa.
Downtown st pete is great but tampas downtown has come a long way. I like to follow the riverwalk and theres a trolley similar to st pete as well.
As a Harbour Island resident, I agree with you 200%!!
Awesome video Adam! We (Wife and I) are always looking for things to do in Tampa, particularly date night ideas, and will definitely have to check some of this out!
I Appreciate the comment and its a great evening out! Enjoy!!!
I work security at the Rivergate tower/sykes building the views from the top are incredible sad average people from the street can’t see Tampa that high since most the skyscrapers are private access only. love my city!
Beer can building!!! Thats awesome you got that opportunity.
Same thing has been happening in Downtown Miami for the last 20 years. But I think Tampa's downtown revitalization is much better than in Miami. You have a channel district, a street car system, the bay walk and the buildings are actually attractive to look at. Tampa is also a much safer city than Miami is. No comparison.
Couldnt agree more!
Tampa became a vibrant city, it was sleepy city
Great video ! Very well produced
Thank you! I appreciate that
Love Tampa, and Saint Pete. South Florida is booming and its really amazing to see so much growth and cleanups happening, I sense Tampa will be a very important city in the next couple of years
Excellent content
Love hearing that! Thank you!!!
My family members to TB area from NY over 15 years ago. I'm a hold out, but visited back in 2013 for a couple months before heading off to bootcamp. This looks nothing like I remember. Thanks for the video. With all these changes, I am excited to move to Tampa myself.
My pleasure and thanks for sharing!
Downtown St. Pete still blows Tampa out the water
Agreed but watch out for tampa! Its coming along fast
@@TampaFloridaLiving
Downtown Tampa should take a page from Miami. Make the area a 24/7 driving zone.
@@TampaFloridaLiving Orlando ain't doing anything right now compared to Tampa. I am talking about downtown Orlando it so dead right now no real entertainment.....😢
@@terrancecooley3165 yeah i hear you
@@terrancecooley3165that’s a lie downtown Orlando is wayyyy better
Thanks for the video. Watched several of your videos so far. So I moved here to Tampa from Portland, Oregon in November. If you know anything about Portland (downtown) Tampa downtown is beautiful! While Portland downtown is dying.
And if anyone complains about the “crime” in downtown Tampa…lol. Go to Portland, tents on the sidewalks, homeless everywhere, public drug use, the mentally ill, shootings, drug overdoses, shoplifting, boarded up stores, slew of vacant stores and office buildings…and the list goes on. Downtown Tampa is paradise…because here, we have an actual police force, that’s allowed to their jobs, and not held hostage due to certain politics.
Agreed and thanks for sharing your experience
Just wait till Ybor harbor opens up It's just going to add a whole another dimension
What do u think about Palmetto Beach? I made a quick video about it. I think it's a good investment now for the future... thoughts?
I'm still getting used to and learning the areas. Sparkman's Warf note: don't bring in outside food or they will threaten to remove or arrest you. I think mom's with bags get away with it, but dont carry in your bag from BK.
I havent heard of that. I was there the other day with outside food. I havent heard of that one yet. Its a public forum from what i know
@@TampaFloridaLiving it happened to me
@@DancinFool sorry to hear that. Now i have to try it again lol!
Sounds awesome :D Gonna check it out, and to celebrate there after my last ever open Heart Surgery :D
I had 9 Heart Surgeries so happy it's finally over and to start a new life tbh.
Enjoy celebrating! 🍻 to your new life!
The footage looks great. What do you shoot your videos on?
Thanks! We have 2-3 different cameras and a drone.
The both the main camera and broll camera are cannons. We added a speed booster and a few lenses for different style shots
Downtown is perfect for me 🎉
Me too ha ha !
Tampa always looks nice
And its still amazing!
Love Tampa there all the time and I’m not from there, there are a lot of homeless ppl downtown Tampa
All of my litigation work just about is in Florida anymore.. I’m moving to Tampa soon.. very excited about the salary rate for my position in Tampa! The law school I want is in Tampa!
Thats great. If you need help finding a home/best neighborhood reach out to my team… info@themorejongroup.com
The river walk is nice. Although downtown Tampa is much better now. downtown St. Petersburg Florida is still much better in my opinion. It is more walkable and the trolley is great. Like I said This is my opinion others may prefer Tampa than St. Petersburg.
Agreed! St pete is great and tampa is on the rise!
Lol yall are hilarious. That date sounds like a ton of money, calories, and hangover. But every now and then ain't so bad. Nice video
Downtown tampa is far from done and I’m so excited to see it get better and better with more exciting stuff
Im with you.
@@TampaFloridaLiving Tampa need more skyscraper like Miami. I love seeing tall building and high rises being built....
@@terrancecooley3165 theres a lot going up in downtown now lol
@@TampaFloridaLiving good I will be in Tampa today as a matter of fact....
@@terrancecooley3165 nice enjoy your time. If you need any help finding a home reach out to my team we’d love to help.
Do you have s video about Brandon Florida?
I do check out my channel and look for the playlist of the different areas
The Pearl is actually a Cameron Mitchell restaurant based out of Ohio. Funny I'm looking at this living in Ohio and a little piece of Ohio is featured in this video.
I did not know that… thanks for sharing!
I need some advice and clarity. I also moved from Pembroke Pines (Fort Lauderdale/Miami Suburbs) to the Odessa area. I really thought that Tampa is an up and coming city. However, I feel that it is so under-developed. I have been to Tampa downtown, international mall, riverwalk, channelside, and hydepark. They are nice. But I just feel that the commercial aspect of Tampa is lacking. Ever macy's i have been to here is very small and low inventory. The closest publix to me is 15 minutes. There is a lot of ugly and a lot of sprawling and the road infrastructure is terrible. Where is the bouginess of west coast florida? If the bougie vibe is anywhere in clearwater, st pete's, or tampa, than I would be happy. Am I missing something? Maybe I did not explore enough of tampa? any advice would help.
Yeah, Tampa has a small old town feel but its growing and offers new developments like in waterstreet and downtown to shine things up. Its a work in progress if you compare it to miami and ft lauderdale but thats also the charm for most. Its not those other areas.

I would try st. Pete. I’m from Miami as well and just visited Sarasota, St. Pete, Tampa and Duniden to look for a place to relocate and I felt the same as you regarding Tampa. St. Pete reminded me of boston, but tropical. I am tough to please but I really liked it!
How often does Tampa get hit with hurricanes?
Not that often. We haven’t had a direct hit in over 100 years… knock on wood! Look up the story on the indians that protect Tampa bay. Its a nice legend but ill take what i can get!
3:14-3:18...youre welcome
I don’t understand how anyone affords to live in downtown.
Esse vídeo foi feito só para ricos assistirem. This video was made just for rich people to watch.
why all the thumpy music???? why do you ALL do it??? argh
the highway going through downtowns ruins it
I mean i barely notice it from where the main attractions are. I wouldn’t say ruins it but to each their own!
@@TampaFloridaLiving if that highway was removed it would open a lot of valuable land to build stuff between both ends of downtown. i think a park covering that area would be game changing
@@TampaFloridaLiving honestly from a miami native who moved here 6 years ago, i always hated tampa from the start but im slowly changing my opinion to it, its definitely changed a lot
@funes4355 yeah i agree but the interstate came first. The gasworx area will be neat connecting ybor to channelside. It will take a few years but the area is growing so fast
@@TampaFloridaLiving i didn't know about that, pretty cool! you just made me excited to buy a house closer to tampa than up here in port richey after college. it's great to see tampa making developments i used to think it was boring
It doesn't look like a nuclear wasteland anymore, totally devoid of people and lifeless.
Don't be fooled crime rate in Tampa is horrible
Yeah i could barely walk through downtown to make this video …. Lol cmon 😂
It’s not even that bad. Downtown feels very safe. It’s not same as ybor
@@BuddhismHotlineTV agreed
You have to be very wealthy to live in downtown Tampa. No ifs ands or buts about it.
Whats very rich to you? Because i just sold a condo for $400k. It was a great condo in the heart of downtown with all the amenities. You cant find that in other major cities like ft Lauderdale or miami… just sayin
@@TampaFloridaLiving you’re kidding right?? In this housing market? You won’t be able to live in that area decent sized for nothing less than $700k. Maybe u can find a studio for like $350k
@@SKS8080 again… its prime real estate as is every downtown in a major city. $400k-$500k is not bad for a 1-2 bedroom condo
@@TampaFloridaLiving correct. But remember what’s the percentage that would justify that? Davis island was pretty affordable when I moved to Tampa in 99. Now with inflation it’s a joke. Except if ur Derek Jeter or Tom Brady. The rest of us move to Polk City.
@SKS8080 1999 was 25 years ago lol. Cant compare that to now. You can rent on davis island reasonably affordably… older condos but still not horrible. I wont argue that prices have gone up but to say you can only live there is you are super rich is not the truth. I have a friend that rents there for under $2k per month.
Damn barely any nature around anywhere, hardly walkable, and disappointing architecture.
Orlando n st Pete down town is way better Tampa is a ugly city make Jacksonville look like Miami
