Thinking about moving to Florida, but to where?

Question

Alright I'm just finishing up my associates degree in criminal justice, and am thinking about moving down to Florida to get a job as a police officer. I'm currently 21 and live in Wisconsin. What are some good choices for cities? Low crime rate, nightlife, weather, and cost of living are some things I'm factoring. I was thinking of either living in a bigger city or just right out side one. Thanks

Answer 1

Well in my city Tampa its great , it has night life, some crime but i mena not close to Miami, and it has beautiful beaches, such as Clearwater beach, i think you would love the city of Tampa all toghther it would be a great place to live.

Answer 2

I'll echo what Matt posted above,,, Tampa Bay is a great place,,, there are some fine areas just outside of the City of Tampa in Hillsbourgh Co., Pinellas Co., Pasco Co.

Compared to Orlando and the major cities on the east coast of Fl, including Miami, our cost of living is slightly lower.  Our crime rate is quite a bit lower.  The gulf is great as are the beaches.  We do have fewer hurricanes than the pan handle and the Atlantic coast.  Attitudes are better along with less traffic.  Nightlife is what you make of it where ever you live,,, there are quite a few options here along that line though.
