Moving To Tampa

Tampa Movers

Has Tampa, Florida been calling your name? If so, there are a few things that you should do before making the final decision to move there. Firstly, you should learn as much as you can about the Tampa area to ensure that it is the right place for you and your family. Secondly, you should do the necessary research to find a team of movers that can help make your move successful. These are both important steps that everyone should follow when thinking about moving to Tampa. Our interstate movers can make your dreams of moving to Tampa a reality!

Today, Poseidon Moving and Storage will be telling you everything that you need to know about moving to Tampa. From the cost of living in the area to some of the best reasons for moving there, this article has everything that you need to know. Let’s get started!

Things You Should Know About Moving to Tampa, Florida

If you have yet to make the final decision about moving to Tampa, Poseidon Moving and Storage has all of the information about the area that you need to make the choice. We have helped many different people make the move to Tampa over the years and in that time we have learned much about the best reasons to move to the area. With a population of 2,877,000 people as of 2020’s estimates, Tampa attracts more people each and every year. So what are some of the best reasons for moving to Tampa?

One of the biggest reasons to consider moving to Tampa, Florida is found in the fact that the city has low taxes and no state income tax. This makes Tampa an especially attractive place for apartment renters because there is no state income tax or estate tax in the state of Florida. On top of that, the combined tax rate for Tampa is currently 8.5 percent and this is thanks, in part, to Florida’s low state tax of 6 percent. When you combine this fact with the lower prices on quality apartments in Tampa, it’s not difficult to imagine why so many people move to Tampa each year. If you’re looking for a place to retire, for example, there are few better places than Tampa.

Another great reason to move to Tampa is found in the fact that the area is home to consistently sunny weather year round. Since Florida is situated close to the equator, there is a strong amount of sunlight here most days of the year. On top of that, the temperature tends to stay above 70 degrees, even during months that are known for their cooler temperatures. If you want to live in a place with a lot of sun throughout the year, Tampa is simply the place to be.

Beach bums tend to flock to the Tampa area and for good reason. Tampa is situated on an excellent location along the coast and this results in no shortage of beautiful beaches for residents to enjoy. In fact, Tampa is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire country and, combined with Tampa’s great weather, you can visit these beaches nearly anytime during the year. Some of the most popular beaches in Tampa include Fort De Soto Park, Clear water Beach, and Davis Island Beach.

Finally, for parents looking to move to Tampa with their kids, Tampa is home to some great schools. From Gaither High School to Freedom High School, the Hillsborough Public School  District has some of the best educational facilities in the state. In fact, Florida ranks 3rd in the country for student performance in AP classes. Tampa is also well-known for its local colleges and universities. Students have a variety of choices when it comes to a college education including the University of Tampa, the University of South Florida, or Hillsborough Community College.

Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Tampa include Harbour Island, Spanishtown, Carver City, Courier City, Bayshore Gardens, and Swann Estates. Each of these neighborhoods has something unique to offer residents and make for great places to live.

I've had less-than-stellar inter-state moving experiences in the past, so I was a bit nervous about my move from Boston to the Midwest, but Poseidon was fantastic. Jann, from the office, helped me schedule everything very easily and was always incredibly responsive and kind.

Tl;dr - they lost/broke our belongings and charged us $800 for ONE WEEK of storage. As recurring Poseidon customers, we recently used Poseidon for our two-step move in Boston (from our old address, to a storage unit for one week, to our new address).

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!

Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..

Great Moving Company! The company was very professional. They were good to communicate and remind me through email of the move date and the timeframe to expect their arrival. They were also very responsive and communicative on move in day as to when they were going to be there and when they were 20 minutes out.
