My mom is looking to relocate to The Sarasota/Venice area and she is on an extremely limited income.

Are there any communities she may be able to rent in for under $500 a month? She is also open to purchasing an inexpensive mobile home under 20k and paying lot rent of around $350 a month.

Any ideas? She is over 55

I am a senior citizen who is disabled. I and currently in an abusive relationship and I am desperately looking to live on my own. I am currently receiving disability and am on a fixed income. I have worked my entire life in the medical field as well as an Interior designer. I am looking to live in the Sarasota county area. I currently live in Brandon, Fl. I'm looking for any programs I might be eligible for to help with paying rent because I'm on a fixed income. If someone could PLEASE help me out regarding my situation I would appreciate it very much. I can be contacted by email which is [email]karendrane@yahoo.com[/email]. Once again, Thank you!

Karen, I would check with the Catholic church in Venice since you are in an abusive relationship. They may be able to help. I would think at the very least they could point you in the right direction.

Definitely affordable but a three year wait list.

Anyone know of other 55+ housing in the area as far as rentals for fixed income? Or good reputation realtors? My wife and I are looking to pack it in up here in NY. I would like for her to take it easy now and hopefully find some work for me as a driver or something that won't demand heavy physical stuff. Thanks hope to hear from some of you locals.

Hi try this place in the Gulf Gate section of Sarasota.
You may find something reasonable in this place. It is an over 55 place.

Good Luck!

Try this site below. It has nearly all of the mobile home parks in the country, and you can break it down to just 55+ parks. You can ck out the mobile homes that are for sale in all the cities. Most of them give the lot rental fees, and you can always call the parks too.

My guess is that $350 a month is not going to happen in the area you want to move to. Looking at Sarasota on the website, I saw 9 senior parks, starting w/ a low monthly fee of $475. All of the others were higher, and most were a lot higher. We pay $356 a month in Volusia county, and plan on moving to St. Pete soon. The rents there, from just a quick look at the websites, run from $299 up. We figure we'll pay $450 in St. Pete, but it will be worth it to get out of here.
