Where to live in Florida: Miami, Orlando, or Tampa

Miami, Orlando, and Tampa are the three most significant and popular cities in the Sunshine State. If you're looking to move to Florida or looking for a change and want to live in one of the big three, you're in luck! Camden has several apartment communities in all three cities both city and suburban locations. I have been fortunate enough to live in all three major cities in Florida and am sharing my experience in each and help you choose which city is best for you!

Miami

If you want to live in a fast-paced environment and one of America's most populated cities, look no further. It is the only place where you have that city and urban lifestyle where you can commute without a car and still live next to one of the most popular beaches in the world!

Camden has a variety of communities in Southeast Florida. One of our premier, high-rise communities is right in the heart of the business district, Brickell. Camden Brickell is within walking distance of everything you need in Miami.

Living in Brickell is the epitome of living large and in luxury, Brickell is in the downtown Miami area, where everything is nearby. Brickell City Center is a four-story building where you can find shopping, dining, and entertainment with stunning views of the beautiful city of Miami. Brickell City Center is where you can get all your shopping needs and is home to popular brands such as lululemon and other popular international brands.

Minutes away is the Metro Mover, free public transportation that takes you through Miami's different districts.

Miami is home to some of the best Cuban food in the country and other international flavors. It is an international hub and a melting pot of diversity.

If nightlife is your thing, you're just a short drive from one of America's most popular beaches, South Beach. South Beach is home to the best clubs and bars in the state. South Beach has all the options if you like Latin music, club electronic, or hip-hop!

Orlando

Magic and thrills are in the air 24/7 in this beautiful city. There is a reason why Orlando is referred to as "The City Beautiful," with its vibrant downtown area and all the attractions. Orlando is the perfect blend of a small city and a suburban lifestyle.

Home to the most popular tourist destinations, such as Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, Camden has communities located throughout the city, even in the beautiful and iconic Lake Eola area, where it is home to Orlando's landmark, the Allen Memorial Fountain.

Camden Lake Eola is a high-rise with units with the most beautiful views of the downtown area, where people come to enjoy a walk around the park.

Orlando is the perfect place to call home if you're looking for a slow-paced environment with fun, entertainment, and art. Local artists come together every Sunday to sell their unique and original pieces.

If theme parks and adventure are your speed, then look no further than Orlando, Florida. You have all four Walt Disney World theme parks, three iconic Universal parks, with a fourth one opening in the summer of 2025, Epic Universe, SeaWorld, and Legoland! Not to mention the Dr. Phillips Center of the Arts, where you can watch some of the most popular plays, choirs, and concerts!

Tampa

Home of recent Super Bowl Champions, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa, Florida, is the fastest-growing city in the state! Home to some of the most beautiful beaches, boarding the Gulf of Mexico. A city smaller than Miami and larger than Orlando, you have a perfect blend of downtown city and beach town vibes.

The Tampa Bay area is home to St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida. Camden has two ultimate luxury experience high-rises in downtown St. Pete. Camden Pier District has some of the most stunning water views and the city skyline and Camden Central is in a prime location where residents are within walking distance of all the hot spots.

Tampa has a theme park, much like Orlando. It is home to some of the most thrilling attractions in Florida, including Busch Gardens! At Busch Gardens, you'll find more thrill-seeking attractions than any other theme park in Florida.

You don't want to miss one of Tampa's premier events, Gasparilla. This multi-weekend event in January draws thousands of people from all over the nation who run the streets of Tampa dressed as pirates. It includes parades, music festivals, and bars.

Camden has a home for you in Florida no matter which major city you choose to live in. Take a tour with a leasing agent, or tour at your own pace with our self-guided tour option! If you're not in town yet and can't visit in person, we can also help you with your apartment home search with our live video tours!

We hope to see you soon and welcome you to the Sunshine State!
