Best communities for families with kids? (Sarasota, Venice: schools, price, to move)

[tman7117]

Although this may sound silly, I obviously plan very ahead into the future and when I am done with getting my degree, I'd like to move somewhere where if I have kids (which I plan to), it would be kid friendly. My field is pretty much applicable to any location near a hospital, so jobs shouldn't be too hard to find.

Lets say with a price point from 300k-450k, within 20 mins from a beach, and decent schools.

Many web sites might have information to review - objective information instead of pure opinions from forum web participants. There are many variables for you to consider viz your own future needs. What may be true today about which cities or communities are kid friendly, may not be necessarily true in say, 7-10 years here in Florida. Similarly, there might be other communities that might evolve into kid friendly communities that aren't so now in OCTOBER 2017. Take your time and keep your ear to the ground - things change!

Sarasota Memorial Hospital area might be good for you - but all and all - the area is mostly old people - I think Sarasota has more kids then Venice - but I may be wrong.
