a perfect balance
Sarasota has come a long way from the retirement center it was known as in the past. Today, Sarasota is a balanced community of young adults, families, baby boomers and retirees. In addition, the community offers a wide range of activities and attractions ~ something to appeal to every taste. For example, in addition to active ballet, opera and symphony, Sarasota hosts a world-class blues festival each year that boasts well recognized headliners. Add to this one of the best beaches in the world, great surfing/boogie boarding, fishing and boating, and a wide range of outstanding museums, restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues. I have lived here for 15 years except for four years when I left to area; I returned this past winter and am incredibly pleased to be back.
