IN WITH THE NEW
For those looking to be close to the
action — not quite in the heart of it — you
will be delighted to discover the new
communities designed with suburban
serenity in mind. The social sensibilities
of these communities tick all the boxes
for many families, who seek a wholesome
balance between work and play. While you
may feel a world away, you are never more
than a short drive from blissful beaches
and cosmopolitan cities.
A little further in to central Sarasota,
Ashton Oaks is composed of only 20
single-family homes, where residents will
enjoy convenient, in-town living amid
a country-like ambiance complete with
walking trails, old oaks and a sparkling
lake. Families in Ashton Oaks are within
walking distance of two highly-rated
public schools and just a short drive to
Twin Lakes sports park and The Legacy
Trail.
Shifting focus further south to Venice,
Grand Oaks is a gated, private community
that's an easy bike or stroll to the
neighborhood Publix, a local coffee shop
and restaurants, and just 3.3 miles from
the bustling historic district of downtown
Venice with its endless options for
shopping, dining and entertainment.
The Residents' club features a classically-
designed pool, outdoor grill, dining area;
and fire pit with seating.
Granada Park is a private, gated enclave
of low-maintenance, green-certified
homes nestled in the desirable West of
Trail neighborhood of Sarasota. Here,
urban luxury emanates from custom-
tailored three-and four-bedroom homes
with gourmet kitchens and gorgeous
spaces for outdoor entertainment, along
with a relaxing community pool. Perhaps
best of all is the location, tucked between
downtown Sarasota and the white sands
of Siesta Key.
