Moving To St. Pete...! Help!

[rwade]

Hello,

My name is Ryan. My wife and I are looking to move St. Pete in January. I have family in Venice, Fl., but have never been to St. Pete.

We are looking for a house or condo (under $400k).

What are the good/bad areas of St. Pete?

Any pros/cons with living on the East/West coast? (preferences?)

Anyways... I guess I am just looking for some advice here. If you have any... please let me know.

I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you on the water soon. Have a good one,

Ryan
