The arts, beaches, and culture combined with shopping, Kayaks, Spas- and resorts entertain locals and natives alike. A mixture that’s made sweeter by the laid-back gulf vibe. That is Sarasota Florida in a nutshell and it doesn’t get any better than that! Or does it?!
With Sarasota’s community flourishing, so does its economy. Here are 5 powerful reasons you should make Sarasota, Florida home.
Culture & Coastline
Some give up the city life to enjoy life by the sea. But on a beautiful curving bay South of Tampa, you can enjoy the big city pleasures, thriving arts & cultural scenes paired with world class award winning white sand beaches.
Cool fact… Siesta beach (about 20 mins from Sarasota) is famed by its dazzling fine white sugar crystal sand consisting of 99% pure quartz, keeping it magically cool under your feet, even on the sunniest of days.
This is only one of the amazing beaches Sarasota has to offer.
Cost-Effective Living
No state income tax, low property tax, low energy costs, and surprisingly low-cost real estate. Whether you are moving your family or business, Sarasota Florida can be very affordable compared to larger regions, like Miami. A great place to call home!
Weather
The refreshing gulf breeze and frequent afternoon rain shower offer relief during the hot and humid parts of the summer, which are from June through mid to late September. Our average winter is around 70 degrees. So, keep the swimsuits, sunblock, and flip-flops and ditch the long underwear, ugly mittens and snow tires for year-round sunshine.
Flourishing Business Climate
Sarasota is ranked #1 among 130 cities measured for the “#1 place to land a job” and is home to more than 20,000 thriving businesses, of which 75% are considered small businesses. The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce does a fantastic job of showing hospitality by welcoming new families and businesses to the Sarasota area. “That is one of the reasons why Sarasota is consistently identified as one of America’s most desirable areas to live, work and enjoy the best that life can offer” as stated by the Chamber of Commerece themselves!
