If you're searching for apartments for rent in Tampa, you'll discover everything from sleek high-rises downtown to charming historic units in Hyde Park and contemporary communities in Westchase and New Tampa.

Renting in Tampa means tapping into great career opportunities in finance, healthcare, technology, and defense. Major employers like Raymond James Financial, Tampa General Hospital, and MacDill Air Force Base are all hiring. Getting around is a breeze with I-275, I-75, I-4, and the Selmon Expressway, plus Tampa International Airport when you need to jet off somewhere.

You'll love being close to Ybor City's historic district for dining and nightlife, the Tampa Riverwalk along the Hillsborough River for weekend strolls, and gorgeous beaches in Clearwater and St. Petersburg just a quick drive away. Between Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, the Florida Aquarium, and Raymond James Stadium, Tampa delivers coastal living with all the urban perks you want—and one-bedroom apartments average around $1,635.
