The Sunshine State Is Waiting for You.
Which City Will You Call Home?
Tampa
With Superbowl champions and a vibrant downtown core, there's a reason we call it "Champa" Bay.
Tampa Bay is for winners. Whether you're a fan of winning teams like the NFL's Buccaneers and NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning or prefer more personal victories like finding your inner zen during a leisurely stroll on the famous Riverwalk, there's something for everyone in this city.
From the free Gasparilla Festival of Arts to the famous Gasparilla Pirate Festival filled with floats and fun, Tampa is alive year-round. Go shopping at the boutiques and trendy shops in Hyde Park on the weekends, or head to a rooftop bar to catch up with friends--the possibilities are endless!
St. Petersburg
Where you can celebrate the arts and enjoy the beach all in the same day.
St. Pete is a hotspot for the arts. You can't stroll around the historic downtown on a weekend without glimpsing the world-renowned Salvador-Dali Museum or a festival with local artists showcasing their masterpieces.
Just steps from the St. Pete Pier, you can enjoy a boat day every day when you live here. If you're more of a land dweller, then head over to the Sunken Gardens and immerse yourself in native tropical flora, fauna, and flamingos (can you say that 3 times fast?). Plus, St. Petersburg is near some of the most visited, sugar sand beaches in the world.
Mount Dora
Live the lake life in Mount Dora, the perfect mix of small-town charm and modern living.
The welcoming city of Mount Dora is nestled just north of Orlando. Here, you can enjoy a day out on the lake with the family or go window shopping at the famous antique shops in downtown Mount Dora. While this city retains its small-town feel, full of hidden gems and outdoor activities, thousands of visitors flock to its many festivals each year.
The most popular festival, you may be wondering? Light Up Mount Dora.
During the Holiday season, thousands of lights hang from palm trees and shops, illuminating the downtown and bringing the Christmas spirit to Florida--without all the snow, of course. A must-see!
Ocala
Slower-paced living in paradise.
In Ocala, you can experience the full beauty of Florida's countryside. With over 600 horse farms in the city, Ocala is home to Kentucky Derby winners and national champions.
There are endless opportunities to immerse yourself in nature with fishing, boating, kayaking, ziplining, and more! For nature lovers or fitness fanatics, there are also several trails for hiking and biking that take you deep into the heart of the subtropics.
This scenic city still has plenty around. With an abundance of locally-owned restaurants and shops, Downtown Ocala is perfect for meeting up with friends and family for dinner or just to stroll around the historic district. If you're looking for a slower pace of living without compromising on stores, restaurants, and attractions, then Ocala is perfect for you.
