4 Awesome Things about Moving from St. Louis to Tampa 

It’s Sunny Year-Round 

Because of its central location, St. Louis has all kinds of weather. The summers can be hot and humid, and the winters can be bitterly cold. The city gets an average of 15 inches of snow each year. But, move to Tampa and experience gorgeous, year-round weather! The city averages 361 sunny days per year. Summers never get too hot, and winters are never too cold. It’s a sunshine paradise waiting just for you. 

Stunning Beaches are at Your Fingertips 

So there aren’t actually any beaches in Tampa, but St. Louis doesn’t have any either. The benefit of living in Tampa is that you can reach some of the world’s top-rated beaches in less than an hour. Definitely not something you can do in St. Louis — even if you fly. Some of the best ones to visit are Caladesi Island, Clearwater Beach and Sand Key Park. 

The Area has Three Professional Sports Teams 

St. Louis is home to two professional sports teams — the Cardinals (MLB) and the Blues (NHL). But, Tampa is home to three! Have fun cheering on the Buccaneers (NFL) Lightning (NHL) and Tampa Bay Rays (MLB). The energy is contagious.
