Best family-friendly communities in Lakewood Ranch/Sarasota?
Our family of 4 is relocating to the area and looking to rent in a family-friendly community. Ideally 3–4 bedrooms, 2+ baths, and around 2,000+ sq ft. $4,000 is probably the top of our budget.
Ideally we’d like to find something in a master-planned community with a pool, gym, playground, and other families/kids. Star Farms seems nice and I’m curious to know if people enjoy living there. But I’d appreciate other recommendations of other communities as well!
Good elementary schools are also important. We have read that B.D. Gullett is great but I’d like to know about other options too! I have a third grader and an almost 3 year old. Recommendations for preschools/daycares/momsdayout programs would be amazing as well!
What communities/schools would you recommend (or avoid)? Thanks in advance!
