I looked up my sons's Tampa zip code on Zillow and there are just 2 places listed for sale.
When I looked up St Petersburg something like 50 listings came up.
Anyone live there?
It’s a city, like any other, there are good parts and bad parts. If you don’t like crowds and traffic, it won’t work. Most of Pinellas is crowded, except for a few enclaves, mostly within a mile or so of the Gulf. Of course, then you have to fight the traffic to go anywhere out of those areas. Depends what you want to spend.
I think St. Pete has less bad parts percentage wise than Tampa, and lots less than Pasco.

Kinda wish there was, if only so we could get some good pizza down here :D

Actually, Western NY pizza is waaaay better than NYC pizza...but either way....still havent found a place I really like yet.

One of the only things I miss about living in Clearwater/Largo was the little Chicago restaurant on Ulmerton. Their Italian Beef sandwiches were great. I worked there for awhile when we first came down, I ate well.


As a former New Yorker myself though, I don't care much for NYC folk. Lots of Floridians lump all NY'ers together.... the rest of the state is a completely different place. Most of WNY is farm land and rural areas. "Area" wise, most of NY is a Red state.
10 4 on the Chicago grill in Largo, but the owner Bruce is a screaming Liberal.

There are 3,347 people per square mile in Pinellas County. The next closest county with a highly concentrated population is Broward with 1,445 people per square mile.

It wasnt a bad job, but yeah for sure....spent plenty of hours arguing with him about politics. Was actually kind of fun, miss that place a little.
