Hello,
We are looking to move to the Sarasota area, and found a gorgeous house located on Wake Ave in Sarasota. Near Lakeview Elementary.
I was wondering if anyone can give me any info on the area. How is the crime rate? Is it near anything (grocery stores, a walmart, etc.)

Thanks so much

Wake Ave is a street that runs north/south on the eastern boundary of a sub-division called Lake Sarasota. Wake Ave is 4 blocks that goes from Bee Ridge Rd to Mauna Loa Bl. The sub-division has about 1200 homes developed in the late 70's-early 80's and 1997-2002. Deed restrictions and HOA have been abandoned and are not enforced. The sub-division is located 1-2 miles east of I-75/south of Bee Ridge Rd and is known as a 'family' neighborhood. Prices reached a peak of $300,000 in 2006 but are now in the $140,000-$190,000 range. Kids can walk/bike ride to the elementary school which is south of Lake Sarasota.
Crime in the area is no different than any other sub-division in Sarasota.
Just west of I-75 at Bee Ridge Rd. is shopping centers which include Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Burlington, Sports Auth, Publix, Walgreens, banks, restaurants, Doctors Hospital, gas stations.

On all of these places you're looking at, you can google map & see the neighborhood for a start.
