Sarasota lifestyle lands Sarasota, Florida, #2 spot on Top Retirements’ 100 most popular places to retire list, joined by two other Southwest Florida neighbors.
Cold Nebraska winters drive retirees to sunny Sarasota!
Sarasota is about lifestyle.
And Sarasota is NOT just for retirees either. Whatever your age…whether you’re single or married with children…or whatever your outdoor pleasure, chances are Sarasota is IT.
Top Retirements’ top 100 most popular places to retire includes 25 new towns scoring a spot on its list for 2010.
On a bright, sunny "winter" day, Sarasota visitors and residents enjoy leisurely stroll.
What you see below are 23 of the 100 towns/cities to make the cut. What an esteemed list it is.
I’ve been fortunate enough to visit the top 23. Without doubt, all 23 are great places to visit. Now it’s confirmed, each also is a best place to (live) and retire to as well.
Congratulations to all 100!
