What Is It Really Like In THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN FLORIDA? Sarasota Explained.
Рет қаралды 33,358
Күн бұрынThe Best Place to Live in Florida 2023 is Sarasota Florida. Sarasota has been voted the best place to live in Florida numerous times and to some people, it is also the most stunning Florida city. Sarasota can be a bit confusing though so here is how I explain the city and the major attractions. We will talk about a few different zip codes highlighting Siesta Key, Lido Key, Downtown Sarasota, Palmer Ranch, and East of 75. If you are looking to move or live in the Southwest Florida coastal side, this video is for you!
After watching this video, if you have questions about moving to/from Sarasota or Manatee County, contact me anytime. See below.

We live in Sarasota County but in the City of Venice. It is a truly beautiful place to live. However, I agree with your statement about the buildup going on in our area. It is exploding! We came to this area 11 years ago because it was so laid back and peaceful. They are ruining it for us. I am very afraid of all the communities, town centers and strip malls that are going up. 😢

I truly love living in Sarasota. I get nervous with how much development is happening near downtown/Lido Beach area because it is changing the character too fast. Lido Beach used to be my little secret getaway when everyone was rushing over to Siesta Key. Now I see so much activity there that I can see how it has even affected the birds and sea animals. I hope anyone moving to Sarasota can respect the natural environment with the same sense of stewardship that allowed it to remain beautiful for so long. Come and enjoy Sarasota, but please be a conscious steward to keeping her the jewel that she is. ❤

A minor annoyance at best. We love downtown. Just last Friday night, we drove through Main Street and needed to park a couple blocks past 1592, but that was nothing.
@alabemos 11 ай бұрын
Sarasota is nice but it is getting crowded. If you can take Florida heat, then look for a nice place in a smaller town with a reasonable drive to larger city shopping. My neighbors were previously cows. Now they are housing developments and stores and restaurants. The last couple of years have seen overwhelming growth, and our roads aren't big enough to handle it. If we ever have a serious evacuation for a hurricane in this area we are going to be in trouble. Please spend a month here before you make your final decision.

I was born in Sarasota Memorial Hospital in 1981 and lived in the same house in 34231 until I was 30 when I sold my family home and moved to Central New York. When I see what Sarasota looks like now in Google Street, I literally cry. The gentrification is OUT OF CONTROL. I didn't understand what my father meant when he would go on about this charming town lost its character but now I get it. You better treat the whole place as a formal event. Make sure you are dressed in your best "stealth wealth" attire if you don't want to get questioned by police for seeming like you "don't belong". It is not a race thing, its a class thing and it's a real shame. It's sad, because it was home, but I can never go home again because that Sarasota is long gone. But if you are rich and look it, give it a go. The arts history and culture is indeed phenomenal.

Hey, thank you for sharing your perspective. Obviously, I was not around when you were so I don't know what it was like in the 90s. I enjoy a lot of the new development like the Bay Sarasota because that will certainly enrich people's lives. Yes, real estate has gotten very expensive here as it has in many parts across the US. I do feel that there are still many casual places around for all to enjoy but it is my own perception. Yours is yours and valid for that reason as well.

It makes more sense for most of them to procure travel jobs because they receive housing and meal stipends which help offset the costs. But the patient’s ultimately pay the price because staffing is not consistent or adequate for the new developments being erected faster than we can train staff and build new facilities.

I have lived in the area all my life, its my own "slice of hell" which I mean as a triple entendre, due to the heat + humidity, over crowding, and the fact the WX wants to kill you. I was born here, raised here, live here, and will likely die here. However its not a 24/7 vacation, anyone thinking that is in for a very rude awakening. As of this posting the housing prices are freaking NUTS and shows no signs of letting up, the general cost of living in the area has gone up exponentially, and traffic has gotten exponentially worse over the past decade.

We lived in Sarasota for 7 years but left a year ago. Just got way too crowded (i.e. traffic backups). Housing has always been really expensive there (but it's like that all over FL). The final straw for us was the massive over-development of high rise condos in and around the downtown area. Downtown used to have a small-town, quaint feel. The over-development has destroyed that, in my humble opinion.

If you have money Sarasota is great. If you’re working class it is tough to live here. When a 1/1 to rent is $1400-1600 a month plus utilities it’s damn expensive. Same thing just a few years ago was half this. Traffic is getting horrible even out of season. Too much building without proper infrastructure. Siesta Key is a prime example. If I didn’t have an elderly parent here I’d move in a heartbeat.

The number of major roads are sufficient for the traffic (except for UTC area and the keys during holidays) in my limited viewpoint.

It used to be a nice place when it was full of Floridians and Midwestern people. The northeast people are bringing their rude, aggressive attitudes down here.

I think being too close to the beach is more prone to be hit with hurricanes and this town isnt even close to Disney and i thought Clermont was the best town to live in Florida

Too flat...it's a flat peace of sand sorrounded by water...no waterfalls, no cliffs, no canyons, no valleys, no hills...gets monotonous...just condos and Restaurants... 3. Too crowded...crammed with people who were not from here...feels like living in an Airport... 4. Gets very boring...flat sand with grass and trees for hundreds of miles... 5.
