Central Florida’s West Coast communities rank among the most vibrant and visually beautiful in the state.  The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico create stunning coastal views that are set ablaze each evening with colorful sunsets.  The semi-tropical climate makes the perfect year playground for boating, gulf, deep sea fishing and any outdoor activies as well as an ideal place to call home.

Surf, sand and sunshine abound throughout the region collectively known as Tampa Bay.   Playful, yet sophisticated, Tampa is considered a leading business center served by a world class airport and home to one of Florida’s largest ports, catering to commercial shipping as well as top cruise lines from around the world.  This centrally located city also features the finer things in life.  World class shopping, first class museums, year round professional sports that include baseball, football and hockey, acclaimed restaurants and chefs, stellar festivals that celebrate the area’s cultural diversity and state-of-the-art performance halls offering opera to touring productions of Broadway shows.

Tampa is Florida’s third most populous city and the largest city in Hillsborough County as well as the county seat.
