In 2016, The US News and World Report study ranked cities in the US based on job market, living conditions, value and quality of life and Sarasota came in at the top in Florida and number 14 in the US. Denver, Austin and Raleigh-Durham were some of the others mentioned at the top. Being a short drive to larger metropolitan area like Tampa and Orlando while having some of the best beaches, an amazing arts culture and great weather throughout the year helped us get there. One thing they forgot to mention were our amazing schools and over abundance of charitable organizations.

What a place we have…
