Sarasota Florida is a Paradise unto its own. White sand beaches, sophisticated arts, world-class shopping, golf courses among the best in the country,
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 Money Magazine.
The county's high per capita income supports a wide variety of recreational and sporting venues. If you are the
athletic type, outdoor activities including rollerblading, tennis, skeet and trap shooting and, of course, golf and for those a bit less athletic simple pleasures like shelling and beach-walking at sunset are available.
Sarasota has all the charm of a southern town with the conveniences of a big city
thanks to the diligence of our Sarasota residents and community developers. Waterfront estates and
golf course communities are designed to complement our historic
districts which have been preserved with pride.
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 and private lifestyle with opulence you can sense from the moment you cross the bridge onto this island community,
Similarly, St Armands and Lido Key each have their own uniqueness and charm.
Sarasota's public schools serve more than 36,0000 students. With 20 elementary, 8 middle and 9 high schools, 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. Sarasota teachers are top-ranked; nearly 80% have post-bachelor degree training. Two-thirds of the county's 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 The State College of Florida - Manatee-Sarasota..
