Your videos are the best on TH-cam imo. Very informative and clear cut. You have helped me a great deal in my research on where to move to in Florida. Thank you.
What a fabulous video,thank you. Wish i could move to florida. Hubby is not interested. We are renting there for a couple months this coming February and March. My sister is in Naples, but we are tired of it there and they do not make it friendly for tourist hardly any parking for the beaches, etc. I also love Pampano, but I think I’m going to love Sarasota the most
I love your video especially the ariel views. Sarasota is a place I have heard of long time ago. It is really a beautiful place. I am a real estate broker in Raleigh too. I watched the video a few times. I will be visiting Sarasota on June 26th, in 15 days. So excited to see it. Thanks for this very thorough introduction.
What is the best area of Sarasota Florida to retire in? I would really appreciate a video on why Sarasota is a great place to retire! Thank you so much for your help. 🌺🌸💖
Super thorough presentation! Really enjoyed it. We're considering moving to the Sarasota or Venice area sometime later this year. We're also looking at Jupiter/West Palm Beach areas. You did a fantastic video on Jupiter as well. Thank ypu for such a great video and information to consider! BTW, all your videos are beautifully done. The colors are magnificent.
It isn't until about 21 minutes into this 27-minute video that she actually shows the inland areas where most people could actually afford to live (Palmer Rach, Lakewood Ranch). And even those places are almost getting to the point where most people can't afford to live there anymore.
Be forewarned -- Sarasota is SO expensive. Not just the homes but also restaurants, etc. When we first moved here a few years ago, restaurant prices were reasonable. Now they are ridiculously expensive. A cheeseburger at a nice sit down restaurant was $10 in 2018. Now expect to pay $18 or $19. Yeah, I know, inflation is everywhere. But I travel and it's worse here. It's like they assume everyone who retires here is rich. But that's not the case.
Please come rent. Sarasota has changed so much in the last 5 years. Live here before buying. Plus there is a large increase in inventory. Condos have new reserve rules coming into play regarding the structural integrity. Get a buyers agent to protect your interests. A contract reviewed by a lawyer. . Taxes are based on sales price not on the amount listed. Indurance rates have exploded. Now for the multimillionaire this is your new play ground
@@321gates Yeah, that's true in general. But we're talking about Sarasota here, man. A lot of Sarasota is made up of ocean-front keys as shown in the video. Those DO NOT have alligators as that water is SALT water. And alligators live in FRESH water. I know someone who lives on Bird Key which is surrounded by Sarasota Bay, and there are NO alligators there.
This video does not paint a very real picture of what the place is really like. I live here and the traffic is horrendous due to all the people who have moved here in the last few years, especially since COVID. Plus the cost of living is not affordable for most people. Last but not least, Lakewood Ranch is NOT close to the beach whatsoever. It's about a 45-minute drive to any of the beaches. There's a joke that most people who live there (including me) only go to the beach when they have company from out of town who want to go there.
Dubai and China have tower lengths. All towers have 160 floors and 140 floors and they have tower lengths in the world in Dubai 200 floors. I hope in America there are tower lengths.
In order to increase the population and hotels, build long towers the same as China and Dubai in Miami and build tower lengths in the world to attract tourism more and focus on the towers and real estate sector, the same economy as China.
Hello Mam, I Visited your TH-cam channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO seems to be lacking, though your content is fantastic. Wondering why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 0/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I also noticed that your video thumbnail was good. If you'd like, I can assist you with improving it. I think your TH-cam channel will make your dream come true. I am waiting for your response.
NICE BUT NOT SO NICE when the next cane will be approachin ...how much is the AC utility bill annually 4 a basic -sized house ? (The beat goes on ...how about some jazz, 4 a variation s sake; jazz is retiree fav music, believe me ..)
I've been to Sarasota just a few years back and it never looks like that I don't know how all these skyscrapers magically appeared they could not have built them all in the last 5 years that is nothing like the Sarasota that I seen I think you got the wrong City on here
Yes, they did build many of them in the last five years as the skyline is changing at the speed of light. Just as nature and beauty are disappearing due to the greed of the developers that run Sarasota. Sad but true. Sarasota is a small city and can't handle all the influx of people and apartment buildings going up. For example, many roads in and out of residential areas are one lane and now traffic lights are 5 or 6 way lights that take forever.
“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” Romans 3:23-24 “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 “For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 “For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” II Corinthians 6:2 “Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." Acts 10:43 If you would like to receive JESUS CHRIST into your life, Pray this prayer: LORD JESUS, I believe that you died and rose again, forgive me of my sins, fill me with your Holy Spirit, and help me obey you, in JESUS NAME, Amen🙏

There is no hurricane insurance. Just regular home insurance
It's so clean and pristine and beautiful everywhere. What a place to live and enjoy. You have everything plus!
However it's sad to watch all the nature disappear at light speed.
This is a relaxing video that has sounds like if you were close in the place.
It is just amazing to see the aerial views. The detail is so well done as well. Not now but in 5-7 years I will move here. I just loved it.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind feedback

Well Done

Sarasota is very demure 👌

vote michael wind next governor of florida independent make life better for all😍😍
Truth is that overdevelopment is out of control which is increasing traffic to popular parts and eliminating nature.
Too hot unfortunately! But beautiful for a vacation
A lot Spanish population now, millions of Brazilians there 😊
when was this filmed?
Last month
My brother is in Venice
WARNING: its to hot and humid to ever go outside
If you could spend time in a Sona,then it would not be a problem, I did that in Puerto Rico and it worked, resets your thermostat 😊
Please come rent. Sarasota has changed so much in the last 5 years. Live here before buying. Plus there is a large increase in inventory. Condos have new reserve rules coming into play regarding the structural integrity. Get a buyers agent to protect your interests. A contract reviewed by a lawyer. .

The loss of nature due to overdevelopment is sad.
0:33 AMI that got destroyed...
❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Every realtor skips the Bee Ridge district. It is perfectly located in the middle of everything.
Are there alligators in Sarasota?
no
Yes there are many alligators around sarasota in all the ponds
In the inland areas of the city -- not really in the areas near the Gulf that this video mainly focuses on.
There are gators everywhere in FL.
@@321gates Yeah, that's true in general. But we're talking about Sarasota here, man. A lot of Sarasota is made up of ocean-front keys as shown in the video.

Hii ❤
Hi ❤
Should have lived there in the 50's or 60's was paradise most of it is gone
Too crowded. Moved to Palm Coast, instead.
Palm coast is a shit hole Lolol no thanks
Hello 👋
if this hurricane destroys Sarasota, the youtube channel Reventure says property values will cut 50%, im praying for everyone, just so sad
Yesterday there was a uber driver saying the night life is dead in Sarasota... Tourism is low now!

Sarasota is a very small American city. You cannot compare it with Dubai or China 😂😂😂.
Fun Fact. Sarasota is only the 71st largest city in Florida.
Isn't China very polluted? I mean, don't people wear masks on a daily basis just to function?
In order to increase the population and hotels, build long towers the same as China and Dubai in Miami and build tower lengths in the world to attract tourism more and focus on the towers and real estate sector, the same economy as China.
You do realize most streets here are one lane. With the overdevelopment already happening it's hard to get anywhere in a decent time.
I love you and Florida, but I live in Ohio cold, so stayed here rather hot to me
Please, don’t invite anymore people. The traffic is already bad enough.

That whole area looking to get rinsed away by a hurricane soon!
Here we go ...
