Coming to SRQ on Feb 17 for a fun filled week! Can't wait!!
Great video!! I've seen so many boring videos with pointless information and this one is the total opposite. You did a great job explaining everything 👏🏼.
Extremely thorough video! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to exploring all the activities covered!
Pam, thank you for your nice words. I appreciate it🙏. Enjoy all it has to offer when you are here.:)
Great video. Spent two weeks in Sarasota in April. Loved the Greek salad with lamb chops at Mattison's Grille. Love the farmers' market and the downtown, good for strolling. Saw my childhood friends and explored the whole area. Love it!
Sounds like you had an amazing time in Sarasota :)!
Thanks for the informative video. You packed a lot of information in under 9 minutes. My wife and I love Sarasota and it has become our little get-away from Tampa.
Funny because Tampa is my get-away from Sarasota :). Glad you enjoyed it!
Another informative video as always. Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you Koray Altan for your comment :)
This is the best video I have seen on what to do in Sarasota..I have been coming to Sarasota since 1970 from NY. I finally made Sarasota my domicile in 2021..It has really changed since the 70’s..
Hi there, thank you for stopping by. Well it has changed so much over just 10 years since I have been here. I love the evolution and growth. Some don't. Let's see what Sarasota will be like in years to come. Glad you are enjoying it :).
So well put together, thank you.
It’s my dream to live there in lovely Sarasota.
Cheers from Peru.
Maybe one day you will :)
A really beautiful city and you really highlighted the gems which many people will like. Liked this video! Like #4. :)
Thank you! 😊
Hustle and bustle and lots to see and do. Cities are lively places where life never sleeps. Nothing wrong with that. As I get older I realise that my city time is ebbing. Not that I'm not active, but I love having somewhere quieter to withdraw too. This is a great and comprehensive viewing of city life and will most certainly attract people looking for a lovely place to call home. Close enough to the relax spots that add another flavor to city life. Nice video, clear information. 👍 🎥 🙋♀️ 🌷
For sure it is a beautiful small city close to so many things that are relaxing. Thank you for watching Anita :)!
Nice one. Good to see you.
Thank you for watching
This was awesome. Thank you so much for this. I'm an actor and may be coming to Sarasota for an acting job in a couple months. I really hope I get booked. Seems like a really beautiful place.
Glad it was helpful to you. I am sure you are going to love it here. I wish you much success 🙌 ✨.
Great video
Thank you for watching :)
It looks quite quaint and not like the busy Miami. Love the waterfront areas. I wondered about apartment rentals moving from NY to there.
Hello, it is definitely quainter than Miami. Check out apartments.com for rentals. Here is a link. Use zip code 34236. www.apartments.com/sarasota-fl-34236/
Lived here 20 years, everyone I know has at least one rental house. They are making tons of money. Way better than the stock market!
I love your videos. This is very informative as I am considering moving to Sarasota from NYC.
Nurit, thank you! I am from NYC also. Come visit first if you haven't already. I love it here but it's so different from the NYC lifestyle.
@@katrinreal this is what I was thinking too. Visit first. I think it’s quite pricey to live downtown isn’t it?
@@nuritrojstaczer7846 it is all relative but downtown is more expensive than many other areas in Sarasota...there are more affordable neighborhoods close by to downtown though :)
@@katrinreal thx. As you suggested I should come down for a visit :)
@@katrinreal actually, can you suggest a couple neighborhoods that are also walkable?
Spent every summer during 1960s - 70's visiting my grandmother who lived in an art deco townhouse apt complex near Selby Gardens. Wood floors, plaster walls, tiled bathroom, no air con. Beautiful tropical established landscape with swan pond & red painted bridge.. Wood St no longer exists. Ugly high rise & parking lot in its place since the 1980's.
Thank you for sharing! Yes, it's definitely has changed a lot, especially over the last 4-5years!
Can't wait to come, work and live in here next year. I hope I can find affordable house for myself.
:)
Not for single people...
nice City!
It sure is!
Yes...very clean looking ! !
@@blueforest2927 you have to come visit :)
I've lived in Sarasota for the past 40 years. I owned a home in Gillespie Park for 25 years, and enjoyed being within walking distance to most all of the places that you mentioned. In the 1980's, downtown Sarasota was not nearly as vibrant as it is today. SO much has changed for the better, and downtown Sarasota really has become a jewel. Not too big, and not too small. With all the growth going on in Sarasota County and the increase in population, let's keep it quiet, a bit, can we please?
Yes that is so true. The transformation has been amazing to witness. I have been here for 11 years and love where it has gotten us and more to come. And you are also right by saying, that hopefully we won't grow out of control where want makes Sarasota so special gets lost. Thanks for sharing!
@@katrinreal - I'm now in a 55 plus villa community off Beneva Rd., and feel like I am still in the heart of Sarasota, but it's so much quieter where I am now, than when living near 7th & Orange.
@@cfonde One if the elements I enjoy about Sarasota is that all major points of interests are close by if you live in central Sarasota. Glad you like where you live :).
These areas are ok, I just think Hollywood and Hallandale Beach is better its more things to do in those areas its more to do for the kids.
Are there Pet friendly rentals in the downtown area? I want to move from DC to Sarasota. I have two small dogs, and would like to rent for a year before buying a condo - to make sure I find just what I want. Great video! PS: Are there taxi services other than Uber that are available?
There are definitely pet friendly condos in downtown...check out rentals.com and type in 34236 zip for downtown. You can also use a rental broker but they usually charge one month rent. Yes there are taxi services in downtown but it is not like NYC where you can hail them on the streets. Downtown is relatively small coming from DC or other major cities. You can pretty much walk everywhere in downtown. You would need a car/taxi/uber though to get outside of downtown to the major beaches for example.
@@katrinreal I can't thank you enough for this info...so helpful since I want to get out of DC by the end of the year, and may not have time to get a driver's license and car (haven't driven for 20 years). I will be in touch when it comes time to buy a condo or even a small house. Many thanks!!!
@@jennifersmall4027 Hi ! Did you move 😅 ? Did you like it ?
Sarasota was my 1st choice to reside but electric bill , insurance and crowd is deterring me away.
I’m Aussie and looking at moving to one of the neighbouring coastal towns not far from Tampa. How does Sarasota compare to St Petersburg and Clearwater price-wise and lifestyle? I’m 37 and single so I guess finding somewhere that isn’t just mostly retirees and families.
Hi there, St. Pete has the youngest average age vs Sarasota or Clearwater. I would say out of the 3 choices it will have the most to offer in terms of nightlife. Prices will range depending on neighborhood selection in each area. If you have not been here before I suggest you visit all 3 places to get an idea of the vibe. These places are all very different from each other.
If you are from Sydney or Melbourne you will definitely get bored. Unless you are looking to get a gf and settle down and even then you will be bored as hell. Please go visit before you rent or buy a place. I did visit , and I am from the North East and EU. The beach is the best part here. Just check out the population of St Petersburg, and Sarasota and how far apart everything is , especially when you visit , you get it first hand. True Culture is like zero. and social activity is limited only active in st Petersburg. Also, in Downton st Petersburg if you have a social mindset of a outback Australian (if you know what I mean ) then you will fit in, though the intelligence here is very limited even for social interaction. If you like being genuine and diverse social interaction then you will be disappointed. If you are a world traveler or well travelled as I do meet many Australians ... Mostly from Sydney, Melbourne , Brisbane and vicinities. You will run out of southwest , southeast and much of Florida...oh and one more thing ... These people are not shy or reserved like your kiwi neighbors (been there too).
please go visit if you are serious and experience it yourself like I did. Furthermore, there are 1000 times better places to visit and stay in the developed 1st world countries.
@@suganddhem1998 what is better than Sarasota in the states? Besides Austin texas
I love watching the Ray's play...it's one of the few indoor Baseball Diamonds in the US...why is it indoors? Because it's too hot here...lol...even watching a baseball game can only be done indoors with Air Conditioning...
@@wrinkledinkle7318 Anywhere
Dear Katrin, your name must be Austrian. The only question is where from Austria? If it's not Austrian, maybe it's Bavarian. In that case, where from Bavaria?
Apart from that I have lived in Sarasota from 1995 until 2011. My favorite restaurant then was the Epicure on Main Street. Is that still as good and authentic Italian?
Two of my son's live in Sarasota but my town Long Branch New Jersey is becoming the same.Why is everything based on food?I'm a portrait artist & have thought of moving there but maybe not.
Hi William, Sarasota has a great arts scene and people who live here really appreciate artists :).
There's nothing else here...lol...it's hot and flat...
I just moved(?) here. I'm #housesitting and looking for a rental. My roommate for the moment lives it here... we recently saw the new Matrix film downtown. Other locals tell me to move north or to the east coast. What if I lived inland a bit (from Longboat Key) and came to the coast when the water and air us safe?
Hi Yvonne, what is your worry with the air in Sarasota?
@@katrinreal red tide all year round, toxic for lungs and brain! Look up scientific research on algae blooms.
@@ASkyy166 I know about red tide all so well
@@ASkyy166 I know about red tide very well...czcams.com/video/gR7V98PmqCQ/video.html
How about the nightlife just wondering being single!!
Who has the best burger in town?
I wouldn't know....don't eat meat :).
So glad I got to grow up and enjoy Sarasota when it WAS BEAUTIFUL !!! You look at it now and it's a DISGRACE...No affordable Housing ,over 1700 homeless people or more on any given day !!!!!!!!!!!!!Run run!!!! Hurricanes Humidity Housing. SOON TO BE LIKE downtown Seattle................
Yup...
Great video overall but the segment on nature really seemed to have nothing to do with nature. Dog parks with tiki bars and tennis courts don’t really count as nature to me. Was hoping to hear about wildlife, hiking trails, the beaches... things like that.
Hi there, thanks for your reply. The video is focused on a tour of downtown Sarasota. The closest to nature downtown is an escape to the parks including the Bayfront Park :). Perhaps check out the videos I have on Myakka or the beaches for more specific info? This one maybe also good for an overview? czcams.com/video/TKfvC3gZoG4/video.html
@@katrinreal oh that makes sense now! My apologies, I forgot it was just downtown based. I really appreciate your reply and the link!
@@naturequeene1372 No worries...thank you for watching! :)
The words are so large they cover up 1/3rd of the video.
It's all old people everywhere. Tampa is becoming the same way. I have lived here for a long time.I want somewhere,alot younger.
Wearing a mask should be banned in Florida.
Nice area
