May 16, 2022

Each year, U.S. News & World Report publishes a list of the best places to live in America. The Sarasota metropolitan area always makes the list - and it's no secret why! For those who are uninitiated, we'll give you our top 10 reasons!


1) The Weather. Obviously. After all, daily sunshine, bay breezes, and no chill in the air draw thousands of visitors to Florida annually. It's why so many people decide to stay here.


2) The Beaches. Our local beaches are renowned for unique, sugary white sand and are among the best in the country. They're soft and beautiful - like something out of a dream. You'll never want to feel anything else beneath your feet.


3) The Great Outdoors. The Bradenton/Sarasota area is blessed with so many natural resources. An abundance of parks, nature preserves, and walking trails offer easy access to everything from playgrounds and dog parks to hiking and horseback riding.


4) The Arts Scene. Unlike many places in Florida, Sarasota has a nationally recognized art community complete with a renowned Art Museum, an opera company, orchestras, theatres, galleries, and more.


5) The Food. Florida has such an eclectic food scene and the restaurants in Sarasota are outstanding. From classic seafood to unbelievable burgers, elegant French cuisine to sushi or pho, there are options for every taste.


6) The Nightlife. While it's not Miami, downtown Sarasota offers plenty of after-hours fun. Bars, nightclubs, breweries, comedy clubs, you may even spot a celebrity or two!


7) The Festivals and Events. There's always something fun going on. Whether it's a music festival, a beach volleyball tournament, or a medieval fair.


8) The Sports Teams. The local Tampa Bay teams are successful, exciting, and fun. You're only an hour from professional baseball, football, or ice hockey.


9) The Airport. Yup. The airport. Unlike many, Sarasota-Bradenton International is convenient, stress-free, and user-friendly. Ideal for all your out-of-town visitors.
