Moving With Kids — Sarasota Family Neighborhood Guide
Moving With Kids?
Start with the life around the house.
Families understandably think about schools first. But choosing where your family will live involves much more than a school rating.
Six Things Families Think About
When you're moving with children, the neighborhood is as important as the house.
Schools
What schools serve the area, and what programs and options matter to your particular child?
Sports & Activities
Where will practices, leagues, lessons and extracurricular activities actually take you?
Parks & Outdoors
Think about playgrounds, trails, beaches, recreation and the places your family will actually use.
The Daily Drive
School, work, groceries and activities can completely change how convenient a location feels.
Community
Are there places and activities where families can connect and participate?
House vs. Lifestyle
The perfect house may not be perfect if the surrounding lifestyle doesn't work for your family.
Smart Moves does not rank neighborhoods according to who should live there. We help people compare objective lifestyle factors and decide what matters to their own household.
Still Not Sure? That's Normal.
You don't need to know the neighborhood yet. Start with how you want to live.
