We're considering some of these older developments in addition to the newer popular ones in Sarasota. We have questions re amenities (pool, tennis, social activites), fees ( HOA CCD?), safety, age of residents. Do folks feel isolated in these older developments- do the residents keep to themselves? It looked like Longwood bordered on the Longwood Athletic Club which sounded like it has unbelievable tennis but steep membership fees- do residents automatically belong or get a discount or does the community have its own few courts, pool etc. Same question re Bent Tree- if you don't join the Country Club are there any amenities you are entitled to? It's so hard to get a handle on the older developments since individual listings don't mention these things. I guess that's why Real Estate agents are so important
Thanks for any input
