Isabelle F asked:
I am going to moving from California to Florida because it is less expensive, and the weather is good ( I did my undergrad education there and loved living there). What is a good city/neighborhood to live in the Tampa Bay Area? I would like to be near the water, if possible, but something not too expensive. I would like to rent a small house.

I live in TampaBay and by no means is it cheap, I think someone is lying to you, This is one of the most expensive states to live in
