Hi All - We will be moving to Sarasota end of June.

We are looking to enroll our kid at Pinnacle Academy and my wife will be working at Sarasota Memorial hospital.

We would like to rent a 2/3br with 2+ba single family house for the first couple of years and then looking at buying a house.

What area would you recommend that is 10 mins to Pinnacle Academy (6215 Lorraine Rd, Bradenton, FL 34202) and 20 mins to Sarasota Memorial hospital(1700 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239)? Are there any areas to avoid? Any other suggestions, tips and help would be greatly appreciated?

best regards and thanks in advance.

Hello,

What is your budget for the rental? Do you have pets you are bringing with you that require the yard to be fenced?

Lorraine Road is east end of Lakewood Ranch but Lakewood Ranch rentals tend to be higher than if you were a few miles away. But if Lakewood Ranch fits into your budget, Greenbrook Village off of Lorraine Rd offers several neighborhoods within the village, also Summerfield Village off of LWR Blvd to the west.

Some nearby communities "off the Ranch" would be Creekwood & Tara on SR70, there are several neighborhoods off of Lockwood Ridge Rd such as Lionshead, Regal Oaks, Riomar, Quail Run, Barrington Ridge. Palm Aire and Mote Ranch are just north of University Pkwy & University runs into the south end of Lorraine Rd.

If you prefer to be close to the hospital, here are some suggestions. Alta Vista and Paver Park are popular neighborhoods. Zip codes mainly 34237 but also 34239. Paver Park homes were built mainly in the late 50's and early 60's by the Paver brothers, Stanley and Paul. These 2 neighborhoods are also close to Payne Park, which offers playing fields for sports, walking paths and a skateboarding park. Alta Vista has quite a mixture of living options, from modest bungalows and duplexes to higher end homes.

Just south of Paver Park and Alta Vista is the South Gate area, which is partially in the city, partially in the county, nearer to Siesta Key Drive. It's a mixture of 1960's and 70's ranch style homes, 50's bungalows and cottages. It's also near Arlington Park which has great recreational facilities, including a community pool. The actual South Gate community has a voluntary HOA and if you join, you can pay just under $100 extra each year to use the South Gate community pool and center, which is on the Tuttle roundabout just south of Webber St. The South Gate area zip codes are 34231 and 34239.

Welcome to Sarasota!
