"There are nice areas and not so nice areas but I definitely recommend it. I love being close to the bars and parks. Not really a family area, we don’t spend time out in the neighborhood "

"This neighborhood is family oriented in the daytime. But at night it’s a nightclub. You can find a really great place for a good price but don’t expect to sleep."

"There are some areas that are nicer and safer than others. Some streets have older residents and are quiet, some are not. Overall, there is crime and rough areas throughout "

"I've lived in the Ybor area for 6 years now. everywhere is reachable by bicycle, most people are pretty friendly, and the neighbors are just good, hard working people getting by. it's sometimes loud, but you didn't come here for peace and quiet."

"As an agent, I cannot recommend living in this area. the Children are rude, the parents let the children do anything that they want and the neighbors do not care about anything that is going on around them. 70% of the people in the area do not work, and come the weekends, they party even harder. The kids do not have a curfew, and when the kids are actually in school the adults play music ALL DAY. I have seen kids with sticks, beating on cars and running back home, wherever they may be. In fact, you cant even tell who lives there or not because the whole zip code seems to use this area as a stomping ground. the police station is right there(!) and they REFUSE to patrol the area. The Element here is UNSAVORY and they even have "management" who allow the thugs to PARK IN THE ROAD WHILE THERE IS AMPLE SPACE IN THE PARKING LOT. A friend of mine Had her car TOWED OUT OF HER PARKING SPACE because a TIRE was in the grass. they said it was "GOVERNMENT PROPERTY", and I regret ever suggesting such a place. Sure, it looks nice, but the homes have CHINESE DRYWALL. be prepared for AT LEAST a $10,000 overhaul of the electrical and drywall, paint and plumbing. Dont fall for other Agents' listings in this area. You would do better renting a roach motel on Nebraska than living in this area for an extended period. Check the crime records, SOMEONE HAS BEEN SHOT because YOUR FUTURE NEIGHBORS CHILDREN refuse to leave the drama at the projects/club/jailhouse/crack alley. I may not live there, but if I can save a few people from investing their hard earned money into a money pit, then I will have done my job. ANYONE RATING THIS PLACE BETTER is not your friend. they are a REALTOR. -Rodney"

I think the teacher's in this school have probably had enough with the disruptive children and sometimes take it out on the children who actually want to learn. They have no control over the kid's who's behavior are a hindrance to children who are trying to learn. Some children have to bring ear buds or headphones to class because of other students behaviors and how loud the others students are in order for them to focus on their work. Some teachers show favoritism to certain students. They dismiss when a child is actually being bullied when they tell them. I understand that you can't stop everything and it is also up to the parents as well to discipline their children about their behavior in school. Even the administrators and lunch room monitors show favoritism or treat other students differently because they know specific students and isolate or dismiss the other students who are different and who are trying to do what's right. We all may have been bullied in childhood and even in our adult lives. But, is it okay to have those same things happen to your child? Even after trying to be there for your child, giving them advice and talking to the teachers at the school and your efforts are still unheard? Why should my child be deprived of their education because teachers and other students lack discipline? Parents want to send their children to school to learn and interact with other children to grow and develop positive friendships for their self-esteem and social development. Children should not be filled with anxiety, feel unsafe, or have their concerns are not heard when they go to school. They need teachers and mentors to actually help students and parents need to step up and help the teachers with their children.
