Sarasota

Sarasota is one of Florida’s most desirable Gulf Coast destinations, known for world-class beaches, a thriving arts and culture scene, and a lifestyle that blends coastal elegance with everyday convenience. Located in Sarasota County between Bradenton to the north and Venice to the south, Sarasota offers everything from downtown high-rise condos and historic bungalows to waterfront estates and gated golf communities.

Downtown Sarasota is the cultural heart of the region, home to The Ringling Museum, Sarasota Opera, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, and a walkable Main Street lined with boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. St. Armands Circle on Lido Key offers upscale shopping and dining just minutes from downtown. Burns Court and Towles Court add artistic charm with galleries and local eateries tucked into historic neighborhoods.

Sarasota’s neighborhoods each offer their own character and price points. Harbor Acres and Cherokee Park feature luxury waterfront estates. Indian Beach and Sapphire Shores offer mid-century charm close to the bayfront. Gulf Gate provides affordable homes with quick access to Siesta Key beaches. Palmer Ranch and Bee Ridge deliver newer construction with community amenities and convenient access to shopping and healthcare along the US-41 and I-75 corridors.

The area is home to highly rated public schools in the Sarasota County School District as well as respected private institutions including Out-of-Door Academy, Sarasota Military Academy, and Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School. Higher education options include New College of Florida, Ringling College of Art and Design, and the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee.

Outdoor recreation is central to life in Sarasota. Siesta Key Beach has been named the number one beach in the United States. Lido Key and Longboat Key offer additional Gulf-front options. Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and boating are accessible year-round through numerous public launches and marinas. Nathan Benderson Park hosts world-class rowing events and provides miles of trails and open green space.
