Hi, I have a rental home in River Place at Tara (SR70 & I75) it is a 4 bed / 3 bath / den and 3 car garage. There is not a pool in the home but a community pool down the street. It is available Sept. 1 and the rent is $1600. per month. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Judy (941) 350-2152 - Fri Aug 15 2008, 09:02
Again Tman, I don't know where you lived or live in Florida, but I grew up in Miami and lived in the Keys for the first 27 years of my life, I have lived in Sarasota for the last 16 and have never been asked to evacuate at any time. I think you are mixing up Florida with Las Vegas for flooding. - Sun Aug 3 2008, 17:11
Tman, as a lifelong resident of Florida, both coasts, and an owner of 5 residential properties, I can 100% tell you that you are wrong about flood insurance - only specific properties are required to have flood insurance. Also, in the 6 properties I have sold in 2008, 1 property needed flood insurance because the government has not updated FEMA maps. The total cost was $217 per year. I also disagree with you concerning deductibles - I would never choose the lowest deductible on any type of policy. - Sun Aug 3 2008, 05:23
There are many factors that influence the cost of insurance. The main things are age of the home , location and construction. The newer the home, concrete block construction and distance from the water keep the rate down. I don't believe the rates are that high in Sarasota. As far as storms, I have been in Sarasota for the last 16 years and have yet to have storm damage of any kind. You should check out our town, it is a great place to live, visit and/or retire.
Village Walk by Divosta is the greatest home away from home. It is somewhat like a resort home with all the amenities and very safe and secure when you are not there. There are homes, condos, townhomes and villas. Some come with pools. The entire community is maintenance free and offers something for everyone. Based on a quick look at our MLS, the 3 bedrooms are charging a fee of $846 per quarter for the fees. The fee covers the following: Cable Tv, Common Grounds, Common Pool, Landscape/Lawn, Manager, Recreational Facilities, Private Road, Public Insurance, Reserves. If you would like any more information, please let me know.
Hi Vic, If you have not found a place yet, take a look at my listing in Gulf Gate. Gulf Gate is an older , well established neighborhood that, in my opinion, is one of the best Sarasota has to offer. Just let me know if you are interested when you are in town. Judy (941) 350-2152. Peens Property Group, Inc. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 18:54
Hi, Sarasota is a great place to raise a family and we have fantastic prices on our homes due to investors over-buying. There are several communities that match your criteria 100%. We do have a Whole Foods and several farmers markets. Let me know if I can send you some listings of examples of communities and homes for sale.
