    "I am visiting for a couple of weeks and so far Sarasota seem very safe for me. I am staying outside downtown. About 20 minutes outside downtown Sarasota and I feel very safe outside here. I am yet to experience downtown at night."
  • Janice Lowrance
    "Lots of dog lovers and dog owners walk their dogs multiple times a day. Lots of retirees walking mostly small dogs as there are size restrictions."
  • John Hermansen
    "We have great schools in the area. Siesta Key is a safe place with kind neighbors. We are a popular spot and do get slowed down during tourist season, but it’s a small price to pay for living in paradise. "
  • Karenhudgeons
    "Near Payne Park, the Legacy Trail, good schools, Bayfront, downtown. Publix is right across the street."
  • Zoe Folts
    "Dogs are welcome in most but not all businesses. People are very dog friendly here. You see people walking their dogs all the time"
  • Irene Melendez-rodriguez
    "I love Sarasota. I been living here for 12 years now and it is a beautiful place to live and raise kids. Close to the beach and beautiful areas to visit. "

    "Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores is a wonderful, diverse, friendly neighborhood. Beautiful area, much nicer and safer than surrounding areas. I will say that neighbors move in and out too frequently for there to be substantial community, and public transit is accessible but not the best. "

  • Lupez14
    "No place for children to play; apartment housing mostly in the area plus assisted living close by along with gated communities. Mostly area is set up for singles or couples. Not alot of areas for kids to play in ,only walking/biking path for families to utilize. There is a community garden nearby. Have to have a vehicle to grocery shop, banking or pharmacy. "

  • Rnegron42
    "I only live 5 miles from work and it’s not that bad of a commute. In season it takes about 25 min . When I lived in Lakewood Ranch it was a nightmare and took over an hour."
  • Loveeamberrosee
    "Very dog friendly see people out and about all the time with their pups dog parks and dog beaches around too"
  • Roandersen
    "Variety of home styles brings in variety of residents, permanent and seasonal. Rules are strict and neighborhood monitors report the smallest of violations, such as leaving your garbage bins out late if you have a long day or putting them out too early,not pruning dried palm fronds immediately, and not planting garden areas to match neighbors. If you are not here full time or are away on vacation you must hire someone to be sure you don’t violate any of the very picky rules. Residents have little use of the club, tennis, pickleball or golf courses without paying exorbitant fees. Having said that, as an elderly woman living alone I feel safe in this development. The safety patrol is responsive and will come 24-7 if you have a concern. Not much of a neighborhood feel."
  • Johnwest3004
    "I’ve been here since last year and it’s a great area. I am here for business but contemplating a permanent move "
  • Trulia User

  • Trulia User
    "loved this neighborhood.wish I never had to move from it just had no choice all houses were occupied at the time."
  • Trulia User
    "I don’t actually have one. I work from home, but if you walk out of the development, there is a bus stop not too far away if you don’t have a car. Most things are within 20 minutes away from here."
  • Trulia User
    "People generally speaking are very polite, many very god restaurant around. The city is very clean and you feel safe. The vibe of the city is unique to be in the Florida west coast. "
  • Trulia User
    "people are Friendly's and watch out for one another. it's a safe place to live , close to everything you may need "
  • Trulia User
    "Lots of people waking their dogs especially in the nearby park, there are also several dog parks nearby."
