    "It’s a quiet and low key suburb area of Sarasota county. It’s very accessible to I-75 and Nokomis beach and about a 25 minute drive to siesta key beach. "

    "I don’t commute....retired. There are no sidewalks here and our street has a large amount of speeders making walking dangerous. Some neighbors park on the county right of way destroying our water flow/drainage which has caused flooding here. Many homes are unkept even though there is an active hoa."

    "Wonderful community, close to Sarasota and all restaurants, cultural activities, etc. The condo development is a designated bird sanctuary. Nice pools, exercise room, community room. Good neighbors. What the development lacks is diversity. "

    "I work here, belong to the club and have lived in the neighborhood for the last 12 years it is one of 5 golf communities I have belonged to and bar none my favorite due to the people that live here. They are multicultural, down to earth and just fabulous. This is a community that rates above the rest . it is very common for folks to move up and down in house sizes and styles as their lifestyles change. Give me a call as I'd love to show you around. "
