I lived in Clearwater and Largo for 10 years and never got stuck in traffic that long on any of the bridges.

I think the longest it took me across the Howard Franklin was 45 minutes.

I am sure there is an accident now and then that may shut it down and cause a longer delay but not an everyday thing.

w2, also look around the Westchase area, zip 33626...it has a younger hip vib crowd (well at World of Beers any way ). This area would be central between Clearwater & Tampa downtown. You might not find anything to rent inside Westchase for $1K, but there are some nearby.

Looks like I will be moving shortly to St. Pete to take a job off of Ulmerton Road near the 275. It's been great to read everyone's take on the area. Much Appreciated.

While I've seen some threads that address this area including this one, I was hoping for some specific feed back. As I look for apts to rent, I find myself drawn to Clearwater Beach. How is the commute from the beach to Ulmerton road?

I'm a 35yr old single male. any thoughts on this issue or suggestions for areas to check out in the surrounding area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

JK

The Causeway and Howard Frankland can get backed up, especially with all the construction, but the Gandy always seems relatively free-flowing. They're finishing up the Gandy Boulevard roadwork in Tampa.

Doubt that you would ever find anything decent in your price range on Clw Bch. Look around the Gandy area or Feather Sound.

Hi there. I live about 5 minutes from where your new job is. Have you checked out Promenade at Carillon Apartments? It's located right off of Ulmerton Road and Carillon Parkway. It's a huge apartment community. We've been living here for 7 years now. It's conveniently located - just 2 minutes from the Howard Frankland bridge which takes you into Tampa. I can get to Clearwater in about 10 minutes.
