Why Florida Winter is Wonderful for Homeowners

Florida winter is at the top our reasons why life around Tampa Bay is wonderful. As local real estate experts, we often hear homeowners say it is the best time of year.

Of course, the holidays can be enjoyed anywhere, but the season here is brighter with sunshine and lighter without winter coats. While northerners de-ice windshields and shovel snow, Floridians are out gardening in the backyard and cruising boulevards with the top down. Here are more reasons why homeowners love wintertime in Florida.

TAMPA AREA OUTDOOR EVENTS AND PATIO PARTIES

In Florida, there is no reason for homeowners to stay cooped up during the winter months. The area offers hundreds of opportunities to enjoy outdoor events as well as wonderful weather for hosting patio parties at your Tampa area homes.

Mild temperatures and sunshine set the stage for family gatherings at your patio dining tables and New Year’s Eve celebrations by the firepit. It’s year-round extra square footage for hosting.

Additionally, there are many public events across downtown areas and districts. Crowds come from near and far to enjoy major concerts and sporting events hosted at Tampa’s world-renowned stadiums and outdoor venues during the winter months.

You may also enjoy strolling an outdoor market without having to bundle up with a coat and boots. Florida winter markets offer fresh fruits, vegetables, plants, and gourmet delights. Check local listings for other outdoor events near you.
