Thank you for the information, and a personal note that does help us in making decisions. I do see your hearts intension is to help make everything about relocation very informative, easier and really helps extremely with where to start, i appreciate it so much.
Well actually, the family who owns LWR made a deal with the developer to include affordable housing in the project. Pulte is building a community within walking distance to Waterside place. It is called Avanti at Waterside ( on the water)starting in the low 300’s.
So you have drawn a RED LINE around The Rosemary and Cocoanut neighborhoods? First off that is VERY illegal. I have been in the area for a dozen years and find it to be one of the BEST parts of Sarasota. Statistically your numbers could be correct but those numbers are driven by the Salvation Army mission at 10th & Central. Crime is no worse here than any other urban area. The buildings in your thumbnail are excellent buildings and convenient to downtown. The Bay development across 41 is a premier park that is turning into Sarasota's Central Park. You obviously only think the suburbs are the only thing people want. Frankly I enjoy the walkability of having over 75 restaurants, two supermarkets, 10 city parks, 5 theaters AND the bayfront all walking distance within 3/4 of a mile. I guess you have never lived in a REAL city. Guess what, you don't need a car. You are 5 minutes to SRQ so your plane can land and you will be sitting in your living room in less than 30 minutes. No this isn't snowy white Lakewood Ranch, it is a diverse neighborhood with friendly people and IS NOT the crime driven hell hole you make it out to be.
Not sure how you can get illegal out of drawing a red line on a map and stating crime rates. That is just being informative and she has every right to do that. Now you may not like it as that is your right. I however like how she is using stats to justify her video.
it would be better if she stated crime rates more accurately. 207 percent = 207 crimes per hundred citizens. At one point she mentioned a stat as "per 1,000 residents," which would be "per mil" (‰,) but she quickly returned to percent. Clearly she's the marketeer of this husband/wife duo, not the numbers person. More to the point, I think you're a renegade, Bob! Your statements make eminent sense, but you're not the gated community kind of bread-n-butter client that she's built her "brand" around.
I am sure this is professionally questionable, but it is "the truth from a local" which is useful to remote buyers. There is value to this videos. That said, Steering is illegal under the Fair Housing Act for good reasons. It's a form of redlining. Also there is the blurred ethical line associated with the realtor commission. Higher cost of sale to buyer, equals to higher gains for the realtor. The video skipped MANY more affordable areas in Sarasota. For that alone, I would use another realtor. But very useful for out of State affluent person looking to buy.
@LisaHalley I don't believe the broker had malicious intent with this video. However, there are parts of this video that are textbook steering. If I were counsel for the broker, I'd say delete the video to avoid being afoul of the 1968 Civil Rights Act, specifically Title VIII-aka the Fair Housing Act. 😉
Nokomis 34275 booming 💥 great area front of best beach ⛱️ much better than Siesta! Great neighborhood 👍 no crime, secured. Highly recommend. And Taylor Morrison building there huge community the development started two years ago and most houses almost sold!

She can inform you, or you’ll inform yourself. Let’s not kid ourselves.
I thought this video was about NOT where to live?
She played you.
Oh shocker, Lakewood Ranch is one of the favorite places. Well yeah, if you're rich. Duh.

@@florida_living Good to know when we move to SRQ in two years.

What's the difference between a little illegal and VERY illegal?

Sorry this video is not for the average person. I was raised in Miami and I’m looking to move back but to Sarasota.
A year later I’m just watching this, thank you. Do you still believe that Sarasota is the same one year later ?
Good question, post hurricanes, howzabout 1y & 5 months later?

BS. The video is based on crime stats, nothing else.
Isn’t steering illegal???? Woweeeeee
I personally appreciate her steering me away from the pre-Con toddlers at the area's shadiest day care facilities.

That’s an area with the highest crime rate in Sarasota County.
Feels like an AI real estate pitch.
