LOL..where did you hear Wesley Chapel has alot of nudists? It's urban sprawl at its finest(brand new subdivisions, big box stores, chain retail and restaurants everywhere, lots of new construction).

There are a lot of good areas in Tampa. How far do you want to drive to work? What area will the job be located in? How much do you want to pay for rent or buy? Are schools important?

I know someone posted on here that there were nudist colonies in Pasco county, and there are, but it isn't like the ppl run around nude on the streets. The biggest one in Pasco is in Land O lakes, if you drive by it looks like condos behind a concrete wall, with a guard to keep ppl out who don't belong. Heck, I use to drive by it and did not know that is what it was. They just want to be able to live their lifestyle without prying eyes.

Why don`t you get out then if it is that bad. You just go around complaining on this board.

Do something!

i would not live in tampa, i dont think anyway, but to say that all of fla is bad... not true. i am a native, and i have seen the changes, and i dont think many of them are good changes. south fla, orlando, and tampa, imo, isnt fla. it's a mixture of ny and nj, and foreign countries. but i do think there are some good places to live still here in fla.

Yeah i agree with you .. i live out in the border line of Northwest and West and i love it out here but if i was going to choose from West/Northwest or East, i would pick east like the area near the I75

I would look at Citrus County or North St. Lucie County. Sugar Mill Woods or Citrus Hills in Citrus or Panther Woods in St. Lucie.

Default I like it...

Tiffellen and newenglandyankee....I moved to Bradenton (34212) in October and really like it. My hubby works in St. Petersburg and we originally didn't think about looking this far south because of the distance. But...even tho miles wise this is further...time wise, it the same or even quicker than other places we were checking out. I really like it here...tons of golf courses...sarasota not far...beautiful beaches...and a new mall is going up at I-75 and University. It will be called University Town Center...with a Nordstrom and Nieman Marcus...wahoo! Everyone has different opinions on what works for them....for us...this is wonderful!

crossing the Sunshine Skyway and up 275 to the "frankenstein" (howard frankland) bridge and hopping off at International Plaza if you want those stores now It's about 40 mi. but the other way is pretty long too and the semis on 75 think they're all in NASCAR
