Downtown Tampa, Florida
…Walking to work…hailing a cab to meet friends for dinner…taking the famous streetcar to the movies…
All of these amenities are at your fingertips in the downtown area of the City of Tampa, Florida. Urban living is transforming the downtown area into a convenient lifestyle for many of Tampa's busiest residents. By cutting out a commute to work, the grocery store or even to a social event, residents have more time to spend with family and friends, more time to earn an extra college degree, and more time pampering themselves at spas and health clubs; which all translate into having a better mind, body and spirit each day.
The downtown area is home to many of Tampa, Florida's greatest landmarks. A handful of them include: Tampa Convention Center, where countless seminars, meetings, and annual events are held; Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, which is home to the Patel Conservatory, providing great Broadway performances and other artistic venues; and the St. Pete Times Forum, home of the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Tampa Bay Storm featuring concerts and family activities year round. With all of this and more to do, it is no wonder that this area is expanding rapidly. |
