Thanks everyone!

Got info needed!

Hmmm, I know where Nate's going!

How much of a commute does he mind? Is he bothered by paying tolls?

If not, may I direct you to Brandon, Valrico, Seffner, Riverview and Apollo Beach? To check out the schools, go to www.sdhc.k12.fl.us (scary-that's from memory). You can look at the individual schools and get their report cards.

I love my neighborhood, there's a house for sale, lol. If you want info, PM me! School is great, too.

You'll be coming at a good time. Bubble just burst a few months ago-you can spend substatially less on a house than this time last year. My house appraised at 275 last october and now it's at 250.

I think Poohnatic gave you some good places to start looking. Land O Lakes is also a good area with alleged good schools and lots on new communites going up with incentives. Like she said the bubble is bursting here.
With that in mind, our home is older and smaller and we live within Tampa city limits. When we moved in 4 years ago our homewowners insurance was $900 and we are now being renewed at $3800. OUr taxes are also going through the roof. This used to be a very affordable place to live but not anymore! We actually are looking at getting out of this area and trying to relocate to NC in a few years. It will be sooner if this craziness with housing keeps happening and I have been here 15 years.

Where will you be going? I know that area and can't think of who (business)resides over there! Financial? Good luck, whatever you decide.

Sounds like ******* to me!

I've lived here all my life - in Valrico. So it's all I've ever known.... But I can vouch for what they're saying about our housing market. It's a good time to be a buyer...

Best of luck. Guaranteed our traffic will drive you CRAZY!!! Our officials don't take into consideration traffic flow/congestion as it approves all of this growth...
