Just like everyone else on here, I need advice on a move to Tampa!
I am 26 and an RN. I am looking at working at Tampa General Hospital and would like to be within 20 minutes of work. I will be moving with a friend. We are looking for 3/2 preferably. Obviously we are the typical 20 something year old girls who love to shop, have some fun going out on the weekends, and working out.
I have done quite a bit of research and have looked up apartments and mapquested them based on their distance to TGH and price. Any streets in that area to absolutely stay away from?
So my questions are these:
1. I assume South Tampa is where I want to be? Is 3bed 2 bath doable in a safe area in South Tampa?
2. We are visiting late June for a planned move at the end of July. What is the best way to shop for apartments/townhomes/etc...an agent? rental sites online and driving to and from
3. What are typical cover charges for bars on the weekends in South Tampa? I was on a Tampa site that rated them and they all bragged about all the famous people that go to them, yah I don't care...I just want to have fun and not break the bank every weekend!!
4. Are there any other Level 1 Trauma Centers in Tampa besides TGH?
5. Any hott guys wanna meet up? hahaha just kidding...
Thanks for any help in advance!

South tampa can be plenty safe, I would just stay south of kennedy. I also would assume by your post that south tampa would be a nice fit. There are alot of bars, clubs and hang out places for us younger 20 somethings haha (actually, theres really stuff for the older people too). Finding a place is going to depend on budget though, south tampa isnt the cheapest place to stay.

I dont go to clubs or anything too often but cant remember paying more than 10-15 dollars to get in, you also hear of the specials for ladies to get in free all of the time so I wouldnt let that be a huge concern.

as far as I know, TGH is the only one

In SOHO i ran into 3 places with the cover: Kenedy, drynk and Lodge bar, it was between $5 and $15 for a guy, i think Kenedy and Drynk might let girls in for free. Other places do not have cover on normal friday/saturday night that i went to.

3/2 in south tampa is doable, but it probably will be a house. You will have better luck with 2/2 or 2/1 and they are a little cheaper. Use internet to find realtors/apartment complexes that have available room, make appointment and ask if they have anything else for rent in same area. A lot of agents have multiple properties for rent and i bet they will be willing to share that knowledge with you.
Google maps used to have a nice feature where you could search for real estate postings by area, but i think they killed it. check out point2homes or hotpads and the usualls like rent.com and other apartment rental websites. point2homes is a realtor site and they have a lot of sales postings, but you can find condos/houses that owners want to rent and use realtor to get their place on the market.

Have fun looking
