Tampa Bay Florida Homes

Where all the residents are on a permanent vacation. If this is your dream, lets find a Tampa Bay home for you!

Located on Florida’s beautiful west coast, the Tampa Bay area incorporates a region of distinct communities, united by proximity to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and connected by a network of bridges and highways.  With an ideal clime and friendly people, the Tampa Bay region attracts folks of all ages.  Is it any wonder so many are leaving the harsh, cold northern winters to retire here?  Or to raise families and enjoy a lifetime of work and play in the sun?

Did you know that Ponce de Leon began his search for the fountain of youth in the Tampa Bay area in 1521? Many of our residents think they know why.  They’ll tell you it does actually exist. Right here. Just ask any of the folks enjoying the rejuvenating sunshine and pristine waters that envelop the Tampa Bay region.  Whether paddling down the scenic Hillsborough River, or snorkeling in the warm Gulf waters, fishing the lakes, playing one of the many beautiful golf courses or just relaxing on the warm, white sugary sands of some of the world’s best beaches,
everyone who comes here says they feel
much younger than when they arrived.

In the Tampa Bay area the unemployment rate is half that of most northern states, so it’s also a great place to live if you are seeking an area with better employment prospects. And at Rigler Realty we still have homes starting in the low $200’s. Homes that first time buyers can afford. Beautiful homes just a short drive from beaches, golf courses and some of the best schools in the state.

If you want to start a new venture or relocate an existing enterprise, you really can’t go past the Tampa Bay area. Tax incentives---no state personal income tax, no state ad valorem tax, no goods in transit tax---- a diverse work force and some of the best statistics in the country for many important business indices makes this region a mecca for successful enterprises. No wonder over 200 of Fortune Magazine’s top 500 companies are represented in this region.

Pinellas County ranks number two in the country for electronic manufacturing employment. Pinellas also has the majority of the medical manufacturing industry segment in the Gulf Coast to Space Coast high tech corridor. A corridor many say is leading the world in many areas of medical research and manufacture.

And the schools? The Tampa Bay region lays claim to some of the finest teachers in the country. That makes sense when you think about it. Because the Tampa Bay area is such a sought after place to live, it attracts leaders. Leading teachers, doctors, dentists and other professionals. Good teachers make for good schools. Leading teachers, great teachers, make for great schools.

The City of Tampa, the commercial heart of the region, is a thriving waterfront metropolis where ultra-modern skyscrapers shadow groupings of well-preserved structures from earlier times.  These clusters of historically important buildings trace the development of the city and identify eras of importance. This is a city that cares about and honors its past.

It’s also a city with a vision for the future. There’s a river walk planned for the downtown area that will rival any in the country. There are eco-friendly projects underway in South Tampa that will see city parks, gardens and the landscaping of private residences, in many areas, irrigated with highly treated wastewater. These projects will preserve precious drinking water and allow the city to continue to grow in ecologically sustainable ways. The project was initiated in response to the 2000 drought.

There are plans and programs to revitalize inner city areas---create communities with a rich diversity that celebrates the works of artists, writers and performers.

And it must be working. Crime was down in 2004 by nearly 13% overall, and by 25% for larceny. People feel safe strolling around the waterfront of this Venice of the South, on a balmy evening, enjoying the salt air. Describing her vision for the city, the Mayor said,  “Tampa will be recognized as a diverse, progressive city, celebrated as the most desirable place to live, learn, work and play.”
