Sarasota has hard water. From faucets your often see it. the sorta chunky bubbling water thats high in viscosity. This is due to high minerals and way higher levels of sulfer in the ground. Bottle water is always the way to go. And you do get use to the practice of buying bottled water for drinking. As for cooking, the normal tap is fine. most people dont use bottle water for cooking, unless its cooking foods that are very sensitive to the properties of water.

This young Lady is spot on. And correct. A good friend of mine just moved to the area in late September. I took trips with him home shopping. Of the seven houses we looked at. Six were sold before our second visit back to area of Sarasota!!! He eventually settle for a New Construction and Now hes an official Floridian!!! I myself have been there three times since. And this is DURING this Pandemic. And the poeple are nice as she mentioned. Great place!!! I have several flights booked to Sarasota. And have flown out of the airport. Its was heavenly!!! Close. Not crowded. Super clean.

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks for your comments. It is definitely a hot market. Hope your friend found a great place.

[@andrewtobias7869]

I wish I found channel sooner. Love the content!!! We're new to Sarasota (settled in July) & you've got tons of great information!

[@diademadesigns8531]

From just having moved here from the West Coast, it is way different than I expected. This video is very accurate! For a single lady almost 40,I wish I would’ve known how hard it is to meet people here, that is the one biggest regret of moving here to Sarasota. any recommendations for single Christian ladies looking to meet people in Florida are welcome lol! Thanks so much for the vid!!

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks for reaching out. I do realize that it is not easy starting over and even I sometimes wonder if it is the right move. I would try meet ups. I met lots of friends that way. As far as dating, I am not sure. 😀 Best of luck and if I can be of any help don’t hesitate to give me a call.

[@anthonylee3966]

You will find friends. Just let it happen. Your in a Great place as a whole.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@LivingInSarasota]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching. I really appreciate my viewers.

[@arangom1]

This was the information I was looking for .. thank you

[@LivingInSarasota]

So glad it was helpful. If you have other questions let me know. Are you moving to the area?

[@lebarre1000]

im learning lots about sarasota fl- never been but seriously considering moving there.

[@LivingInSarasota]

Glad you are enjoying the videos. I always recommend a visit to be sure it is somewhere you will like.

[@vanmont90]

OMG you are absolutely right about the water taste being awful in Florida! thank you for all the info.

[@LivingInSarasota]

It may seem odd to mention but it is so true!

[@DonkeKongChick]

You missed the biggest con which is traffic.

[@LivingInSarasota]

Funny you say that as I was just thinking about our traffic as I was out driving today. You can tell when the snowbirds start returning.

[@tluns810]

It all depends where you move here from, I moved here from the Atlanta area so traffic doesn't seem so bad.

[@bobwyman3743]

yup,,all true, but love it just the same, been here a long time,, used to go north for a month in the summer, but too old now, i just stay inside during the heat of the day

[@masterblogger1crucialtimes838]

That was helpful, not a good fit for us. Thank You!

[@Jackievandervelde]

Great video - thank you for all your pros and cons....definitely things worth mentioning!!

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed this. Do you live in Sarasota or thinking of relocating to our area?

[@Jackievandervelde]

@@LivingInSarasota Well, not any more! lol After you and another commenter spoke about how hard it is to meet people - I would rather not. I'm looking to relocate but I am also single and don't have connections. So I am looking for a smaller town that is very open and friendly to new people. Any suggestions? :) Thanks so much!!

[@LivingInSarasota]

@@Jackievandervelde hmm. I hear great thinks about Stewart. But also sometimes there is more to do and great ways to meet more people in larger communities. St. Pete is a great area.

[@Jackievandervelde]

@@LivingInSarasota Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!

[@sweetgirlkaren]

This was super helpful, thank you!!

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thank you for watching and for the kind feedback! Glad it was helpful.

[@LisaSabala]

Thanks for pointing out these pros and cons! Sarasota seems like a good place to grow roots!

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks so much Lisa. It is a wonderful city with lots to offer. Have you ever thought about moving to the area?

[@erikasmiley9643]

You’re a natural Aunt Lisa!

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks Sweetie. So much to learn about KZbin. Hope you are well and loving your job and St. Louis. Take care of yourself! Love you.

[@michaelsharkey2144]

Seems to be very difficult finding a gated community that will allow a fenced yard. Having a dog, this a show stopper. Any suggestions?

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks for watching! Give me a call and we can discuss.

[@wmarbourg]

Thanks for video. You omitted the con: crowded roads in tourist season. I was going to say horrible traffic, but that was my experience near road construction areas, so perhaps not endemic.

[@LivingInSarasota]

I agree with you. I have now added it to a number of other videos. Traffic has become a bit crazy.

[@danieldesimonedanny1827]

It infested with left coast people & northeast people. In the rainy season Sarasota sewage treatment plants routinely dump poop in the bay & gulf reported as red tide.

[@LivingInSarasota]

Sarasota is so much more!

[@daisywali5739]

Hello is there a lot of hurricane

[@dancerloverish]

Thank you for the video, but the stuff that you were talking about relates to the entire Florida (some of the staff - to West of Florida). So, all that I heard from other videos that are talking about other cities/towns in Florida. We want to hear the specific stuff about SARASOTA only! For, example, why Sarasota is better (or worse) than Tampa or St. Pete or Naples, ... What is so special about Sarasota only - not Florida.

[@LivingInSarasota]

Thanks for reaching out. I do have other videos that speak specifically to Sarasota.Such as video 5 Things No one tells you about Sarasota and 7 facts to know about Sarasota’s as well as a number of video’s on neighborhoods and locations.

[@dancerloverish]

@@LivingInSarasota Ok, I”ll check them out. Thanks

[@sarasotarepub1]

Want to come back to live! Again.

[@alainbergeron4520]

At number 8, entertainment you forgot to mention the opera? Any reason?

[@LivingInSarasota]

No reason as our Opera House is wonderful. Just timing and staying items. Unfortunately some things will be missed as there is so many good options.

[@alainbergeron4520]

@@LivingInSarasota thanks. I presume there's no performance during covid? Here is Seattle we've been black for over year.

[@catcar9157]

What about flooding? How big of a problem is this?

[@LivingInSarasota]

Although it is always important to be prepared flooding does not happen often. Of course it will depend where you are located in distance to gulf.

[@Superbates123]

Nice video.

[@music1rocks]

“Steering” is the practice of influencing a buyer’s choice of communities based upon one of the protected characteristics under the Fair Housing Act, which are race, color, religion, gender, disability, familial status, or national origin. Steering occurs, for example, when real estate agents do not tell buyers about available properties that meet their criteria, or express views about communities, with the purpose of directing buyers away from or towards certain neighborhoods due to their race or other protected characteristic. If a client requests a “nice,” “good,” or “safe” neighborhood, a real estate professional could unintentionally steer a client by excluding certain areas based on his or her own perceptions of what those terms means.100 years no hurricanes.

[@LivingInSarasota]

That is indeed what steering means. As agents when someone says nice neighborhood that is very much based on one’s perception. That is why we always show our clients throughout the city, ask lots of questions and also we love hearing about the buyers current life. We provide all kinds of information and ultimately buyers can determine what is the best home and location for them. Thanks for your comments.

[@music1rocks]

@@LivingInSarasota Have a good night Lisa.

[@RossBayCult]

Where is a good area for a family with young children? Tampa? Any suggestions?

[@LivingInSarasota]

Hi, there are some wonderful neighborhoods in Lakewood Ranch with kids and families of all ages. You may want to check this area out. Tampa has a variety of areas as well. It is just a little busier area in Tampa. If I can answer anything or help just let me know.

Hello, my son Mark would like to get a real estate license in florida. What schools would you recommend

[@LivingInSarasota]

Hi, thanks for reaching out. I recommend either Bob Hogue Real Estate school or Ed Klopfer. He can do it online or I believe they are doing in person learning again as well. Does he live here now?

[@dennismichel9222]

For the cons you forgot the high property taxes, obnoxious traffic backup in the winter months and rampant bike theft.

[@toddhunger1839]

Way too crowded. Traffic is a complete nightmare. If you are from a democratic blue state be advised Sarasota is solid Red. Don't move here. Stay in new York chicago California or Washington DC. The only people who want you to move here are the realtors.
