    "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. "

    "IBSSA or also known as the Museum District is convenient to downtown, airport, University Parkway. It is West of the trail between the Museum of Art and Whimsey and The Ringling Museum. 2 parks in neighborhood are on the Bay., Spectacular Sunsets! 1,150 households are active in a variety of neighbor events. Annual picnic, annual yard sale weekend with over 60 households participating, and the Sun Circle Art Festival in March (March 14, 2015). It is a safe neighborhood, we walk, run, play with dogs and children in our parks and yards. The annual dues for the neighborhood association is only $20! That is $20 a year! I would not live anywhere else."

There's also a first rate college and a pretty good art school as well as access to the sixth best public school in the United States. Nova Collegium!"
