Sarasota Accolades

Sarasota has so much to offer residents and tourists alike- beautiful beaches, boating, golf, tennis, fine dining, shopping, theater and more.  Sarasota has an amazingly relaxed and private environment that has drawn the attention of home buyers worldwide. Our city is a hidden paradise that provides a healthy environment, friendly residents and beautiful  homes  throughout the city.

The Keys and the Mainland

Sarasota is very unique because it has several beautiful barrier islands that border the mainland. Each island has its own personality and offers different benefits.

Longboat Key is known for its luxury homes, condos and beach resorts. Longboat is beautifully manicured and offers fine-dining, golf and world-class tennis

Siesta Key is very relaxed, fun and has a beach that is known as one of the top ten beaches to visit in the world. Siesta Key offers tennis, biking, boating, dining, shopping and long, beautiful sidewalks for runners. This barrier island has become a playground for our athletic residents.

Casey Key is on the southern end of Sarasota County and it provides a more private island with luxury waterfront homes. Casey Key is located between Blackburn Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Manasota Key is a very quiet barrier island far from city life. The water views are stunning and with only a two-lane road there is barely any traffic. If you are looking for an area where you can have peace and quiet Manasota Key is the place to look.

St. Armand’s is located on Lido Key and is very popular among residents and tourists for its outstanding shopping and five star dining. St. Armand’s has a small and unique residential community that has a variety of architectural styles. St. Armand’s has a wide variety of cultural activities available throughout the year.

Once known primarily as a vacation or retirement destination, today's Sarasota is home to diversity. A great year-round climate, expanding employment opportunities, abundant leisure time activities and excellent schools attract creative entrepreneurs, skilled workers and professionals who want to thrive in a community where life is fun. Almost half of Sarasota County's population is in the prime working age range of 25 to 64. No matter what your age or stage, there's always something interesting to do in Sarasota.

Located on the Florida Gulf Coast, about 60 miles south of Tampa, Sarasota combines a leisurely coastal lifestyle with a worldly sophistication. No longer just a tourist destination and retirement haven, Sarasota has become a diversified community with an expanding economic base, skilled workers and professionals, and one of the best school systems in the state. The cultural capital of Florida, it is known for its intoxicating cocktail of culture, from the Ringling Museum of Art, the state museum of Florida, to its own symphony, opera and ballet. 

Sarasota County consists of Sarasota, Venice, Englewood and North Port and the barrier islands of Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, Casey Key and Manasota Key.
