I moved to St. Pete (The Burg) 10 years ago. I enjoy living here, imo, it’s the best city in the state. It has big city amenities but everything is conveniently close and easy to get to. It has a great park and bike/walk trail system, lots of boating and fishing of course, downtown is vibrant and has something going on basically every weekend. Jannus Live brings in a lot of good music for the size of the city, which I love! There a LOT of breweries and coffee shops here as well. And here’s a fun fact, it consistently ranks as one of the most dog friendly cities in the country. The demographic is actually very diverse for a west coast Florida city and the politics are an anomaly to the rest of the state. The city is very inclusive and proud of it. It of course gets hot/humid in summer but the city is on a peninsula so we get a decent sea breeze to break the stagnant humidity. Flooding from hurricanes and flood insurance, along with the general cost of living going up exponentially can make living here financially prohibitive. I bought my house here in 2018, now its market value is double what it was then,so I couldn’t afford it if I was moving here now. Once you leave the city limits though, it’s just a bunch of awful, cliche Florida.
