Ybor City Tampa Real Estate Still Hot?

Ybor City is a historic district near Downtown Tampa which was once known as the "Cigar Capital of the World!" Today many projects are under way to revitalize Tampa's Historic Latin Quarter. With condominiums on the rise and a desire to be close to the city, when for many years people had been moving from the city, Ybor City is once again coming to life. Many Real Estate Investors have been buying up properties in Ybor City, rejuvenating the homes, and then putting them back on the market for a substantially greater amount.

Is Ybor City real estate still hot? Some believe it is even hotter. Many feel that Tampa is a hotspot for young entrepreneurs, business owners, and young investors. Yes real estate may be on a slow down, but when you consider a place such as Ybor City that was rated by Forbes Magazine to be the 12th most appreciating area for homes, one would feel that Ybor City real estate investing will remain hot for some time to come.

New Website for Tampa!

New Website for Tampa - 813area.com

Written by: Scott Conlon

Tampa has been lacking a good website to provide resources to the locals in the area. Many sites either consist of out of date material, unorganized information, too much general information but lacks details, and very little user interaction with the websites. 813area.com is working on changing that and providing the locals of Tampa a website in which they can search for Bars and Clubs, browse the listings of Tampa's great restaurants, new recreation ideas, and communities to get involved with.

Not only is 813area.com for our local residents of Tampa but it also exists to help promote Tampa as a great place to live and visit. It is important for the city of Tampa to continue to grow and prosper and one way it will do that is from continued growth in tourism. Help promote and be proud of where you live!

One feature already implemented in the website is a photo gallery consiting of photos taken at various places throughout Tampa. Included in this gallery is a tool to copy and paste html code to post the images on website communities such as Myspace.com and Friendster.com. The gallery if free to use and the users are aloud to download the photos as well but in order to access the gallery you must be a register 813area.com user.

We are working on adding additional information on businesses and also creating profile pages for local Bands and DJs. We are open to suggestions and community input as this website is being created for the Tampa community. We plan to keep a easy to navigate site with, well organized, and with useful tools.
