Decent areas to live/commute from

[Unregistered]

I’m a new hire coming from out of state. Any recommendations on a decent area to reside, without a long commute. I’m planning on renting for the first few months while looking for a house.

Few affordable options really close. Lots of people commute from the next county north (Pasco) via the Veterans Expressway. None of our patrol shift start or end times really coincide with rush hour, so you can get away with living further than you might think if you have easy access to the interstates and expressways.

Just stay out of the actual city limits and you’ll be good. Most of us commute from a surrounding county.

I second living outside the city. My recommendation would be Citrus Park/Carrollwood/Northdale/Lutz/Land O' Lakes/Copland(Wesley Chapel). All of which have reasonable housing and are close to the city.

Would commuting from downtown St. Petersburg be feasible, or a nightmare?

If you were working day shift the ride home would be bad any other shift you are good. I moved out of downtown St Pete, many years ago because I did not have a place to park my take home car. We are not able to park then on the Street. Keep that in mind.
