Review of Sarasota, Florida


Relocation to Sarasota or Tampa area?
Star Rating - 11/14/2011
Dear All,

My family is considering relocating to the Sarasota or Tampa area. Schools are quite important with a PreK student and 3rd grader. Affordable housing, low crime, family oriented communities, limited traffic congestion are also very important. Are the local governments in both areas fiscally responsible, fiscally sound, and not in jeopardy of collapse?

I would appreciate any feedback that the locals in Sarasota and Tampa could provide in helping us pick 1 city over the other.

Thanks,
John
