Sarasota Ranks #9 Best Place
to Live in U.S.
The only Florida city to make the Top 10
For its desirability, quality of life and cost of living, Sarasota was named one of the best places to live in the country by U.S. News & World Report, the only Florida city to make the Top 10. Located on Florida's Gulf Coast, Sarasota is the 9th-most desirable place to live on the list. People are also acting on that desire, as Sarasota is the third-fastest growing metro area out of the 150 places ranked, behind only Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Lakeland, Florida. |

However, after billions invested in iBuying, time may prove those funds would've been better off sitting in the bank. Read PSIR president and CEO Budge Huskey's latest "Home Front" commentary on the iBuyer segment of the real estate market. |
