86 | New Homes 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.
