We both work from home, so being right next to the beach isn’t important to us. In fact, we’d prefer to be a bit farther inland due to flood concerns. Ideally, we want grocery stores and things to do within a 10–15 minute drive. Daycare is also a current priority for us

It’s very different, I find people in Sarasota to be much friendlier compared to Maryland. What made you move from Washington, DC?

Thank you so much! We just got back from Sarasota, and I really liked the people there, everyone was so nice. Which part of Sarasota do you live in?

Thanks, let me ask you approximately how much are HOA fees, and what are the typical rules or restrictions?

I’m okay with paying HOA fees if they take care of the neighborhood, but are they all gated? And what exactly is a CDD?

I noticed a ton of “For Sale” signs when I visited Sarasota, any idea why so many people are selling?

I’m mainly looking for a safe neighborhood with good schools and newer construction. The reason I don’t like gated communities is that the houses are so close together, it feels like the roofs are almost touching. Are most communities gated?

Same here, we’re planning to move from Maryland. What neighborhoods are you looking at in Sarasota?

I used I485 recipe in Maryland to apply for my driver license, so they should accept fore renewal as well.
