My family is looking to move to FL and we have been focusing strongly on Parrish. We're also thinking a bit about Sarasota.

We have heard that Parrish is great for families with young kids, but also that Sarasota has great public schools.

What do you think - is Parrish or Sarasota better for families with little children?

We also like safety, yet the ability to get to arts, have community, short drive for jobs, museums, and yet have some space and greenery too.

Thanks for your help!

The two are completely different. I suggest you rent before purchasing. We are in Sarasota. The quality of public schools varies throughout each county.

Thanks Srqzoo, I don't think we will rent before purchasing. We live over 1,000 miles away and it's a big move for us to move twice with a young child and elderly family member. Plus selling our house we currently have. Just too much moving.

We will visit again, but visiting for a few days is of course not the same as living there!

Can you elaborate on what you mean by completely different?
