Naples is the best location in Florida. Marco Island - half hour, Everglades - half hour, Miami Beach - less than 2 hours, Ft Lauderdale beaches - less than 1.5 hours, West Palm Beach/Jupiter area - 2 hours, Sarasota and Siesta Key area - 1 to 1.5 hours, Tampa - 2 hours, Northern Florida Keys - 3 hours , Key West - 5 hours by car, less than 1.5 hours by boat. All those areas close by while you can live in the peaceful coastal area of paradise of Naples. - Can't beat it.
As usual, your videos are full of valuable information and good energy. Thanks again for your clarifications and I hope to see you one day for my move to Sarasota...
Great video and I was originally interested in Naples last year vet have shifted my focus to Sarasota. Better beaches and downtown and the Legacy Trail looks amazing. Also like being closer to Tanpa.
I agree with your summary. Naples is too relaxed. Naples seems more of the haves and have nots verses Sarasota and the surrounding communities. Sarasota/Venice offer a different and more desirable lifestyle for younger baby boomers. Just a better mix of people in the Sarasota area, plus good schools.
I-4 is a parking lot during daylight hours, so driving to, or through Orlando is a chore, as Polk County (Lakeland) is the fastest growing (not a good thing, unless you love urban sprawl) county in Florida.
Thank you, excellent detailed comparisons. My parents had a house in Bradenton, FL 20 years ago and I really loved visiting Sarasota. They moved to Naples where I was offered a job. I currently reside in Naples but it is quite boring and I think 5th avenue is so overrated. The restaurants are not that great. Lots of tourist shops with a few high end stores. I am interested in moving to Sarasota as I think there is much more variety in comparison to Naples. The art scene is so much more inviting and eclectic in Sarasota. The beaches and the restaurants are better in Sarasota. My concern is with the increase in prices of homes. I am on a teacher's salary and always wanted a small little house of my own. But I am not sure where I can possibly live in the Sarasota area. I have been looking at videos that you have put out such as, Bee Ridge and the surrounding area. Hmmm, need advice. Thank you for your awesome videos!
Sarasota beach parking is NOT FREE if you don't live there. You have to be a resident for it to be free - just like all the other beachfront communities in Florida
I would say no. Sarasota bus depot homeless a prob. About 3 blocks of restaurants s compared to Naples. St. Arm is nice but overcrowded. Naples better to live. Sar better to visit.
Zero homeless/bums in Naples (wont change, plenty of tax $$$ to manage it). Definitely cannot say that for Sarasota....and only getting worse w Tampa so close.
This is definitely not a biased review. A Sarasota realtor comparing Naples to Sarasota life, I wonder what would be recommended. TLDR - as someone who has owned a home on Naples Bay for 7 years, I have never heard anyone reference Sarasota the “New Naples”. Sarasota and Naples shouldn’t be compared to each other, but that’s not a con to Sarasota. They are completely different vibes that should be treated as such.
1:21 you know what puzzles me to no end' anytime someone covers a specific area they always talk about a short drive to all these famous destinations nearby 🙄 why not just move to the famous destination and have it all and don't have to drive anywhere 😋

I moved to Sarasota almost two years ago. Retired at 58 and man I LOVE it. Wonderful people and the city is growing and special.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm partial to Sarasota and when my mother and I found a video of Sarasota's own "Amish country" we were hooked! Sarasota is lovely!
Love Sarasota
agree!
Sarasota, the best. We can find all we need: Theaters, beaches, restaurants, access to airports and beautiful areas to live: Do you need more?
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
Have been looking in Naples for over a year. Then we discovered Sarasota and Venice and will be building a home in Venice.
It seems a lot of people are looking at both these days. Enjoy your new home.

Great video and I was originally interested in Naples last year vet have shifted my focus to Sarasota. Better beaches and downtown and the Legacy Trail looks amazing. Also like being closer to Tanpa.
Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Shift focus from Naples to Naples?
what about the red tide?
@@wesleygriffiths8496 There is always a possibility of Red Tide but it is not ongoing and it is not a yearly event.
@@wesleygriffiths8496 Here we go ...

Thanks, I agree. 2 beautiful cities with different personalities!
I feel like Sarasota has more to offer overall and it is so close to Tampa and St. Petersburg! The location can’t be beat! It is better than Naples!
I couldnt agree more! Thanks for watching!
Great presentation and informative.
Glad you liked it!
Great info.
Thanked

Thank you so much for your feedback and for watching! Feel free to contact me: linktr.ee/LisaMcBrideSRQ
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for watching!!
And heavy traffic!
during season definitely, but still better that other cities.
I'm thinking of moving there within 3 years. As of now i'm studying Florida to see what's best for me. I was born in NJ and tired of it.
If we can answer any questions just let us know.
@Lisa McBride- Sarasota Neighborhood Experts Is Sarasota getting over populated?
Sarasota beach parking is NOT FREE if you don't live there. You have to be a resident for it to be free - just like all the other beachfront communities in Florida
I would say no. Sarasota bus depot homeless a prob. About 3 blocks of restaurants s compared to Naples. St. Arm is nice but overcrowded. Naples better to live. Sar better to visit.
Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated.
Agreed. I live in Naples.

Cost!
Sarasota is definitely being destroyed by overdevelopment ..used to be so nice ..now endless traffic
What area in Sarasota County or around Sarasota could I purchase 2-3 acres of land to build a custom home?
I would look in to Parrish, Port Charlotte or Arcadia. Give me a call if you would like more specific information. Thanks for watching!!
So Sarasota will now be out of my price range...💸
How's the nightlife in Sarasota !
How about for young families?
There will be a younger population in the Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch area.
LOL Dream on, Sarasota. They have one of, and at time the, highest crime rates in the state. Naples is not for everyone and we like it that way. 😏
Thanks for watching
Source? Can’t find anywhere claiming Sarasota is dangerous
Lol crime rate. Go visit any Midwest or rust belt city.
@@ldtwbd and New York City!
