Tampa Florida – So you just found out you’re relocating to MacDill Air Force Base or Central Command (Centcom).

Want to learn more about the Tampa Bay area?

We’d love to be your local military relocation resource, since we have the Clearwater Coast Guard Air Station, the largest and busiest air station, Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Air Base, and Central Command right in our backyard and are experienced in helping other military families and individuals who’ve moved here and we can help with:

  • learning about local Tampa Bay neighborhoods,
  • info on Tampa Bay schools
  • moving and short term rentals,
  • help in buying a Tampa Bay home,
  • getting a VA mortgage | Home loan,
  • and more.

“In addition to the 6th Air Mobility Wing, MacDill Air Force Base is also home to more than 50 Mission Partners, including United States Central Command and United States Special Operations Command. The presence of these two unified commands and other Mission Partners creates a unique multi-service community at MacDill, with all branches of service represented. So although MacDill is an Air Force Base, it is also home to many soldiers, sailors and Marines.”  (Source: MacDill AFB)

It’s easy to see why United States military personal is such a big part of our Tampa Bay communities and neighborhoods. 

One of our home buyers last year had served in the military and was now a consultant and was taking college graduate courses at the University of South Florida – the great thing is we have lots of colleges and universities in the Tampa Bay area to choose from as well.

When relocating to the Tampa Bay area people either want to stay close to MacDill Airforce base which is located 8 miles south of downtown Tampa (withing about 30 minutes) or some are willing to commute a little further to be closer to our Tampa beaches since the commute may 45 mins – 1hr but the tropical lifestyle is hard to beat – either way we can help!
