[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The area walkable to Southside Village in Sarasota could be an option for OP. But it’s pricey. [/quote]

We live in the next neighborhood a couple blocks south of southside in sarasota and its heavenly here.  Neighbors of all ages (but typically 40+ because the neighborhood is pricey), people are crazy nice and DH and I were just discussing that the nyt showed everything west of Tamiami in sarasota voting blue in November.

Ds goes to a public school that’s on several top 15 lists in the country.

We can bike to the beach in five mins. My Saturday bike ride is a one hour loop through siesta key and back home.

Weather is fine.... summer is no hotter than dc, and did I mention the beach?

Sarasota has a zillion theaters, orchestra, opera, ballet and a ton Of other random local cultural institutions.  If you have Friday night 7:30 tickets, you leave home at 7, park at 7:15 for free and walk right in in five mins. It’s so easy.

Traffic increases in season, but unless you’re living on a barrier island (requiring a bridge to get to the mainland), the traffic isn’t so bad that it makes you not want to go out.

When I first moved to Florida from a super liberal place, I thought I’d hate it.  Four days later, while watching a manatee swim by while I ate my lunch, I told DH I might never want to leave.  [/quote]
