Relocating to the St. Pete Area | Rental Examples
Many people are overwhelmed by the practical side of re-locating to the St. Petersburg area, the old primary residence has to be sold, a new one organized, and somehow miraculously the closing on the old home and the new one should happen simultaneously.
And then in reality, it's a rather big undertaking to make that happen.
It is often easier to plan on a temporary home in the new location.You can rent furnished or unfurnished. For a few months or a year. Try condo living without buying one, explore a new location, try a 55+ community to see if you like it:   Renting allows the unique opportunity to test drive a new lifestyle or location, without buying the property yet!  
 Here is a sample of properties for rent in the Greater St. Pete/Central Pinellas area:
