Plus, the Sarasota school board has been in national news recently for politics-driven termination of the Superintendent. I don't know what effect the new board/Superintendent are going to have on Pine View.



With mortgage rates at 7%, I'm waiting to see if there is a housing/stock crash in the next few years. Maybe the outlook will be clearer then.

All the best!
Believe us (as southerners/natives) you don't know it but God Almighty was looking out for you lol. This place is overrun since your inquiry (and actually before that). The Misery Index seems to have ballooned out of control here. Save yourself, save your money, keep an eye out for other opportunities, even elsewhere. All that glitters is not Gold - sometimes it's fool's gold. This place now is p issing off many many residents at this point.
