Hi all,
I am a resident of Fort Lauderdale-specifically the Northeast part of town. I am considering a move to St. Petersburg. I have not spent much time in that area, so I need a little help comparing the two cities. I am a Florida resident so I don't need a lot of the attraction information, though maybe taxes, housing, crime, nightlife etc would be helpful. Has anyone made the move over to the Gulf Coast or vise versa?

Thanks everyone, just weighing out my options-though I do not need to move until May.

Regards

I can't tell you about life style but, a friend of a friend moved over there. He had a apartment over looking the ocean and supposedly he was paying 800 a month :S

on the flip side of it, I don't think there is much to do.

St. Pete has slightly lower taxes (but please don't buy right now!), slightly lower insurance, significantly higher crime, decent nightlife in it's walkable downtown. I'm contemplating heading to the gulf coast myself (currently live west of Fort L.). You can rent downtown for as low as 600 a month and not be anywhere too crappy.
