You’re getting settled in your career. You may be ready to start a family. But where do you plant your roots? According to a Tampa Bay Business Journal article, Tampa is one of the best cities in Florida for millennials.
The study found that millennial salaries are higher than the national average. In addition to this, the study shows that Tampa has a cost of living lower than the national average. Plus, there are a number of beautiful suburban towns just outside of picturesque downtown Tampa.
Tampa Bay offers a welcoming atmosphere that is affordable to live in and is bursting with opportunity. The Tampa Bay Business Journal article showed that millennials aged 25 to 34 were taking home $100 above the national average. The city’s cost of living is 9.8% below the national average.
If you’re interested in history, you’re in luck: Tampa Bay’s is long and storied. Pieces of this history are everywhere, especially in the culturally rich Ybor City and Columbia Restaurant. Since the 19th century, Ybor has grown to be a cultural hub, offering a welcoming atmosphere during the day and a vibrant lifestyle at night.
If history isn’t your cup of tea, there’s plenty more to do. Check out Tampa’s Riverwalk if you’re looking to keep active in the Florida sun, or head to the Florida Aquarium to see some unique and captivating marine life. No matter what your lifestyle is, there’s something to do in Tampa for everyone!
All of this paired with a rapidly developing downtown makes for a great space for millennials to grow their careers and start their families. As Tampa continues to grow and become a bigger metropolitan area, many different businesses are planting their own roots here to grow along with the city. In fact, Tampa’s even been ranked on a list of Top 40 Cities for Entrepreneurs. Local coffee shops are popping up in many neighborhoods and it’s easy to find a farmer’s market to get fresh, local produce.
