APARTMENT HUNTING in Tampa, Florida! (luxury apartments, tours + prices!)

[@stephanielacoco]

I think apartment #5 because it hit your list of needs and it was stunning. Your only drawback is the washer/dryer being in the closet. Which honestly isn’t that bad. You don’t have to bring your clothes anywhere, straight from dryer onto hangers/in drawers. The kitchen and bathroom were gorgeous ❤

[@larissab.5394]

Hi Lauren! I moved from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale like 3 weeks before you did last year, and then I just moved back to Tampa a few months ago, so it feels like we're on the same track, haha! You're gonna LOVE Tampa. It its growing so fast but you're right about the difference in traffic and safety. I could not stand the other coast. There's so much to do over here with Sarasota and St. Pete, as well. So happy for you and looking forward to seeing how you enjoy Tampa!

[@emad.codes.]

Cheaper option is to find a roommate and share a 2x2 in channelside, rent literally gets half in range, yet you get all great amenities!

[@BethTheWanderer]

People that are saying Tampa is so expensive need to understand she is showing luxury apartments in South Tampa (the most ritzy part of town), not normal apartment prices around town. An average 1 bedroom apartment is $1600 outside of South Tampa/downtown. Used to be a lot cheaper before Covid and the influx of northerners, but I digress. To people saying she should buy instead, the real estate market exploded in Tampa and if she wants to live in South Tampa area like she does now, we are talking 1 million 🙃

[@user-ro1hw5tr7u]

I pay $2400 in Orlando for 2 bedroom and it's a new build but it is extremely average and flooded with tourists, traffic, and it is just going downhill FAST

[@morgan-zc5ne]

i think you chose apartment #5, it was stunning! it seriously looks like a house and so cozy!

[@carnationsandcosmos]

I’d kill to have my laundry room in my closet! Could you imagine how easy it would be to put away clothes!?

[@valeriarios5854]

it isnt as great as it seems because most closets with the laundry in it have little room for clothes. the machines take up most of the space. if you were to use the closet for towels, shoes, or bulky items that you would not put away in your bedroom closet, then it works! If the closet space were large and walk-in-able, then yeah I'd like that too.

[@kristenfair6637]

Hey girlie just wanted to say I’ve lived in Tampa my whole life and it isn’t like other major cities where the city is centered around downtown. I think the apartments you were mainly looking at were in channelside, which is the only part of “downtown” that is walkable and safe imo. I would try looking in the SOHO (south Howard) area if you haven’t already. Sounds more so like what you are looking for

[@laurensnyder]

this was so helpful, thank you so much!! ((:

[@pinedajc92]

Hey. Looking to move to Tampa. How’s the walkability at SOHO. My main thing about downtown is being able to walk to the gym, grocery store, etc. is that doable in any other part of the city?

[@beautifullycrowned5372]

Can you name some good apts to look at there?

[@brookeeTaylor123]

Please, if you can write the names of the apartments that you looked at as I am looking in Tampa as well these are beautiful and I’ve been having bad luck. Thank you.

[@agreeneway4516]

@@stephanielacoco she def doesn’t make enough from her YT/ social media to afford 2k/mo apartment. Also her socialblade is at about $100/wk on the high end…. No hate but why flaunt what you don’t have?

[@stephanielacoco]

@@agreeneway4516 she is living her life and sharing online for her subscribers. She isn’t flaunting anything, that just your emotional state that sees it that way. I am secure, I don’t see it that way. We all have different things we spend our money on. You can choose not to subscribe or accept that other people can and do think/feel differently than you do and it is all valid. My apartment is 2552 a month and my Mercedes-Benz is 757. Plus all the other bills. I think paying for a nice place to live in and a beautiful car to drive is worth it to me. And just like Lauren, your opinion on that is entirely unnecessary to post about. I think 1500 is great if that makes you happy. I just wouldn’t do it. Take care hun.

Was there much walkability where you were? Did you get a real estate agent or did you look on Zillow for each one you wanted to checkout?

[@kenna1927]

We also have windows to the ground and I love it. But we only have one bath tub and no shower at all. In our building packages get stolen a lot, too, and it makes me feel unsafe here 😭 I have to get sent the packages to my mum, who lives one hour away from me.

[@jognfong8557]

$2700/month for 1 bedroom? I thought only CA was that expensive 😂 can u share ur process of apt hunting? like ur 1st brainstorm to ur final decision, how u go about the process, what resources u used, and what relevant info did u look up pertaining to ur apt or surrounding neighborhood (safety, traffic, shops, GDP, etc.)?

Not trying to be mean here just being real: Not telling us the building makes this video completely useless. Your safety? What? I 100% understand not telling us your exact address but you can't tell us where the apartments you are viewing are located? How does that help us? What is the purpose of a video touring apartments if we don't even know what building you are in? I am considering a job in Tampa and trying to get an idea of what building I'd want to live in it I accept.

Girl! Don’t you know that what you’re wearing, what type of bag you’re carrying, how you have your hair and make up done, and your jewelry -ALL plays a part in how much they quote you??? A lot of places do this. It’s a thing. They see if you look like you have money and quote you up as a result. Car salesmen do this, apartment and housing agents do it, restaurant workers, and clothing sales people. You are treated differently depending on how you’re dressed. It’s not supposed to be the case, but it is. Also; we moved from Southern California across the country. -we lived fifteen minutes from the Kardashians, and we paid $2,800 for a three bed HOUSE. Right outside of downtown LA. Why? Just why would you do that to yourself? You don’t want to be stressed out tying to keep up with the lifestyle. I knew a LOT of people in LA who were, and they were not happy. Just be careful.

Lauren. Ralph Lauren. Snide remarks. Una ragazza molti anni fa, si chiama Gioele (Joelle) quando era un gioventù studenti nella Università Davis a California…era una problema d’Abercrombie & Fitch. Il piato di penne arrabbiata con una bicchiere di birra sul TAP a mi preferisco usualmente ma c’è una cantina Mexicana speciale con il nome Dos Coyotes che ho comprò las quesadillas moderna. Un appuntamento con Gioele sarebbe prenotare a questo punto della mia vita alla città Sacramento prima d’andare a Davis per un MIXER della SAE fraternità. Gioele mi diceva che abbia bisogno levantare le pesi.
