About Sarasota
Sarasota punches well above its weight culturally — it has one of Florida's best arts scenes, world-class beaches at Siesta Key, and a culinary scene that rivals cities three times its size. It has long been a magnet for affluent retirees, but a growing tech and remote-work population is reshaping the demographic. Housing costs have surged post-pandemic, and storm insurance is a significant line item.
