Sarasota: A Booming Town!

When John Ringling, who is most remembered as an American circus legend, looked at Sarasota Florida in the early 1900s, he saw a place rich with potential. He wasn't wrong.

Over the years the Gulf coast city of Sarasota has gone from a quiet circus town to a booming cultural hot spot for Florida. This is thanks in part to Mr Ringling realizing his vision through the land he cultivated (which is now St. Armand's Key, 2,000 acres of Longboat Key, and more), the structures he built (such as causeways and bridges), and the gifts he left to the city (his beautiful mansion and art museum, as well as the Ringling School of Art and Design).

Today that vision is growing stronger than ever. Sarasota has a beautiful and unique way of life that has something for everyone. We have beaches that have been included in the Top 10 Beaches list. We are the home of the Sarasota Film Festival, which brings us wonderful films, world renowned actors and filmmakers, as well as up and coming artists. Sarasota's potential doesn't end there. From the rich and ever growing art scene, to historical sites with old Florida charm, to renowned golf courses, Sarasota is a perfect place to call home for potential home owners from any walk of life.

Who knows if when John Ringling looked at this sleepy beach town in 1910, he imagined his vision going this far; but it has. Sarasota is still growing in popularity and development, and it is the city's charm that has continued to make Sarasota a top destination for Florida Real Estate.
