Review of Sarasota, Florida


Do Not Move To The Sarasota Bradenton Area
Star Rating - 2/25/2015
Have lived here since 2009. Moved here from Washington State. People are rude and inconsiderate and hard to deal with. Difficult to make friends. Area draws a lot of criminals. Want to move back to the West Coast where people are much more open and friendly. Moving here was a huge mistake.

I hear you, Sarasota is often unfriendly and mean. People are just rude and clicky. Hard to make friends because the locals are jaded regards newcomers since they come for the weather or won't be around long regardless. I see it as a giant medical clinic. I lived in the SF Bay area-totally different vibe although who can afford it. Don't get me started on the drivers. Worst in the country.
