Get to Know Sarasota's Best Neighborhoods
5 Great Sarasota Neighborhoods to Live
Finding yourself thinking about Sarasota homes?
A Florida city whose rich history dates all the way back to 1763, it is nicknamed "Paradise" by its 53,000 residents. Though the greater metro area is home to more than 700,000 people, it's the picturesque surrounding communities that often attract homeowners moving to the state.
When you choose Sarasota, you have access to some of Florida's most dynamic cities – but you can disappear into the peaceful tranquility of any number of gorgeous beachfront towns. The Sarasota Keys offer a truly unique experience to those lucky enough to live there.
Let's look at some of the best places to live in Sarasota:
- Bird Key
Bird Key homes maintain the Florida country charm that can so easily be lost in the most popular tourist areas. If you want a true rural experience complete with large tracts of land perfect for raising your own animals, this is the best place to be. While home prices are higher on average here, crime is virtually nonexistent and it offers some of Florida's best parks and fishing. - Longboat Key
Longboat Key homes are nestled in a small and quaint community of about 7,000 people where you can enjoy virtually untouched white sand beaches. Top attractions include parks, resorts, and delicious international cuisine. Longboat Key has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the most attractive islands in North America. It's perfect for boating, too! - Bradenton
Bradenton homes are ideal if you're looking for the perfect place to buy your first home. In fact, the area combines a lower cost of living than the state's average with a lower crime rate than the local average. Found right on the coast, it's well known as one of the top places to retire – thanks to great healthcare options, dining, shopping, and much more. A true beachfront paradise! - Siesta Key
Siesta Key homes can be found right on the sparkling white sands of this gorgeous resort island. Miles of southern Siesta Key around Turtle Beach are virtually untouched by development, giving you a taste of tropical paradise. In the north, you'll find Siesta Village – the site of tasty Sunshine State seafood and festive music. Naturally, the Key attracts tourists in the winter! - Lakewood Ranch
Lakewood Ranch homes are dispersed across seven distinct villages in a picturesque planned community with everything from townhouses to estate homes. Sprawling 8,500 acres, Lakewood Ranch has world class dining and shopping opportunities in the village centers and miles of beautiful hiking trails in the acreage beyond. It is one of Florida's leading green communities.
