9 Winter Perks for Tampa Bay Snowbirds
-9 Winter Perks for Tampa Bay Snowbirds-
Tampa Bay has countless winter perks for snowbirds, retirees, and local seniors. Lucky for you, our real estate team has narrowed it down to these nine nifty things for Tampa Bay snowbirds and locals to love about Florida life this winter:
- Best of all, the Gulf of Mexico. From St. Petersburg to Clearwater, and Dunedin to Tarpon Springs, our Gulf coast communities enjoy gorgeous sunsets, soft sandy beaches, and water temperatures mild enough for dipping your toes this winter.
- On the topic of water, Tampa Bay snowbirds also enjoy life in waterfront communities. Bays, causeways, rivers, and lakes allow retirees to spend their winter days basking, floating, sailing, or boating. No worries about ice.
- As for weather, Florida winters are usually sunny and mild. The Greater Tampa Bay Area’s average temperature ranges are between 50° and 70° during the winter months.
- On a year-round basis, seniors also enjoy gardens and flowers. In contrast to the Northern winters, Florida maintains a lush setting for outdoor pleasure.
- In addition to gardening or fishing around Tampa Bay, folks enjoy recreational amenities like heated pools, parks, trails, pickleball and tennis courts, as well as great golf courses.
- As always, snowbirds and locals love arts and entertainment. From Ybor City and Channelside, to downtown Tampa and St. Pete, our metro regions are open for business with theaters, museums, galleries, casinos, restaurants, shopping, and sporting events.
- Tampa Bay leaders promote walkability. Snowbirds and locals living in our walkable communities do not need a car. In fact, many developments cater to the car-free lifestyle with nearby shopping, dining, and easy access to public transportation. Just hop on a trolley.
- Carefree living is the mantra of 55+ communities. Most active-living communities have homeowners’ associations or HOAs. Conveniently, those HOAs manage exterior maintenance, pest control, amenities, lawncare, and other services for residents.
- Most uniquely, the Tampa Bay area provides an array of home choices for snowbirds, retirees, and seniors. Choices include dream homes in beach towns, artsy districts, waterfront communities, rural regions, quiet suburbs, or bustling downtowns.
