It is well known by locals and vacationers that Sarasota is the place to be, but recently it was recognized nationally!
Earlier this year, Sarasota was listed as the #2 place to retire in all of the USA by MarketWatch.com. Credit was given to the deep sense of culture and cultural facilities located in Sarasota (i.e. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art). Let’s also not forget about the gorgeous, award-winning beaches and “small town” feel with everything a “big” town has to offer. It is no wonder why Sarasota was ranked so highly on the list, it is paradise!
Trailing closely behind, Venice claims the #3 spot. Market Watch loved the small town of Venice for its charm and beauty. It also helped that Venice is a top-rated community for adults over the age of 55 with a quaint downtown and lots of public parks and beaches. Venice is great for those in search of a small town beach community.
So, what are you waiting for? If you are looking to retire with your toes in the sand and a pineapple drink in your hand, look no further than Sarasota County!
