On Florida's Sunny Gulf Coast, Sarasota is a paradise.  White sand beaches, sophisticated arts, world-class shopping, golf courses among the best in the country, fine dining and a constant flow of community events coupled with natural beauty and year-round good weather.  These are just a few of the reasons that Sarasota ranks among the nation's 15 most livable communities, according to a recent Money Magazine article.

     The county's high per capita income supports a wide variety of recreational and cultural venues, including theater, ballet, opera and film festivals.  Southern Living magazine named Sarasota County "the nation's per capita arts capital."  If you are more athletic, outdoor activities from beach walking, shelling, rollerblading, tennis to golf, boating and sailing are here as well.

     Sarasota has all the charm of a southern town with the conveniences of a big city thanks to the diligence of both Sarasota residents and community developers.  Waterfront estates and golf course condominium communities are designed to complement historic districts which have been preserved with pride.

     Downtown Sarasota offers quiet streets lined with grand trees and sidewalks.  Some streets, known as "the flower streets" are named for flowers such as Bougainvillea, Rose and Hibiscus with homes that reflect traditional and Spanish styles.

     On the barrier islands, there is as just much diversity.   Siesta Key will captivate you with its powdery white sands, artists and writer's colony, eclectic shops, restaurants and boutiques.  Conversely, Longboat Key offers its residents a secure, private and opulent lifestyle.  Similarly, St Armands and Lido Key each have their own uniqueness and charm.

     Sarasota's public schools serve over 40,000 students.  Sarasota County provides educational opportunities for everyone, from the physically challenged to the academically gifted.  The area is also home to private schools of various affiliations.  Just to the North, the Manatee County school district educates another 40,000 students.  Sarasota area teachers are top-ranked; nearly 80% have post-bachelor degree training.  Two-thirds of Sarasota County high school graduates go on to college; some at our six local higher education institutions; University of South Florida at Sarasota, USF - New College, Ringling School of Art & Design, University of Sarasota, Eckerd College and Manatee Community College.
