Tampa and Orlando have landed in the top 10 U.S. cities for digital nomads in 2025, according to a new report from StorageCafe.
Tampa ranked No. 5 and Orlando came in at No. 6 in the study, which evaluated cities based on remote work infrastructure, lifestyle amenities and affordability.
Tampa has seen a 15% increase in remote workers since 2019, with nearly 23% of its workforce now working remotely. The city has 54 coworking spaces, 69 Wi-Fi hotspots and average internet speeds approaching 300 Mbps, according to the report.
Orlando combines similar high-speed connectivity with 48 coworking spaces and 64 free Wi-Fi zones. It also ranked No. 3 nationwide for lifestyle, thanks to a dense mix of leisure venues and retail options.
“Digital nomading is no longer just a niche trend, it’s a national movement,” said Dave Cassar, chief revenue officer at MBO Partners, noting the number of U.S. digital nomads has grown 151% since 2019, now reaching 18.1 million.
The report also highlights a growing shift toward “tethered nomads,” or remote workers who travel while maintaining a home base. Average stay length reached nearly six weeks in 2024 and is expected to grow.
