Which Sarasota Neighborhood is Right For You?

Named one of the best small cities in America and among the ten best cities to retire young by Money magazine, Sarasota is quickly becoming one of the most popular luxury real estate markets in the state of Florida. Located on the west coast of Florida, approximately 50 miles south of Tampa, Sarasota’s neighborhoods are a tropical paradise among a growing, vibrant community.

Bird Key

With many homes situated directly on the bay or on deep-water canals, Bird Key is an exclusive enclave of 500 single-family homes. It is entirely residential without commercial properties or condominiums.

Casey Key

The pristine natural environment and wildlife of Casey Key are protected by legislation. With some of the highest land values on Florida’s west coast, Casey Key affords residents a picture perfect island lifestyle.

Downtown Sarasota

Lido Key

A gorgeous blend of past and present, the 225 home neighborhood of Lido Key offers a wide array of architectural styles that feature Old Florida, Mediterranean, and Contemporary design.

Now that we are pretty settled in our new home in Sarasota, I wanted to formally thank you for helping us find this fabulous place. You were a pleasure to work with and gave us a great education on the real estate market in this area. Under your guidance, we found the right home, at the right price, and in the right area for our family situation. By your being patient, we were able to see and study all the alternative neighborhoods and lifestyle situations. We knew it wouldn't be easy coming from Connecticut and finding the right place here, but with your help, we absolutely did. Thanks again, and please give potential clients our name as a reference for you and your company. Most sincerely, Richard B.
