I can’t believe it – there are communities in Sarasota and Venice with low Homeowners Association Fees!
Updated October 2019 The startling truth about the cost of living in Sarasota is………that it is “challenging” in some places – money-wise. If money didn’t matter, there’d be plenty of fabulous places to spend the retirement or to raise your kids.
