Discover Sarasota's Best Kept Secret - Lake Sarasota Neighborhood
If you're looking for an affordable, conveniently located neighborhood in Sarasota, Florida, Lake Sarasota should be at the top of your list. This often overlooked community offers a unique piece of local history and an incredible value for homebuyers.
The Origins of Lake Sarasota
Back in 1955, Leonard Rennard had a vision to create a major tourist attraction called Sunshine Springs and Gardens. He and his brother Charles built this 400-acre wonderland in just 8 months. Though it closed after only 4 years due to lack of profits, the remnants of this dream live on in the Lake Sarasota neighborhood.
An Unbeatable Location
Nestled just 10 miles from downtown Sarasota, 10 miles from Siesta Key Beach, and 12 miles from St. Armands Circle's shopping and dining, Lake Sarasota provides incredibly convenient access to all the area's top attractions. Yet it maintains an affordable cost of living with no HOA or CDD fees.
Homes for Any Stage of Life
With lot sizes up to 1/3 acre and zoning for A-rated schools, Lake Sarasota caters to all seasons of life - first-time homebuyers, growing families, investors, and everyone in between. Residential properties range from cozy bungalows to sprawling family homes like my recent listing - a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with 1,700+ sq ft of living space.
Incredible Property Features
What makes Lake Sarasota homes truly unique are the large lot sizes that accommodate amazing bonus features. My latest listing offered a huge concrete pad, perfect for storing an RV, boat, or other toys and vehicles - a perk many communities don't allow due to HOA restrictions.
The Best Sarasota Value
If you're seeking an affordable Sarasota neighborhood with easy access to amenities and attractions, generous lot sizes, quality schools, and no fees, Lake Sarasota deserves a top spot on your search. Homes in this underrated gem provide immense value.
