The area is a lovely area to live in. Ellenton, Palmetto, Bradenton, Sarasota and Venice merge into one another running north and south about 40 miles long and from the Gulf of Mexico on the west to Interstate 75 on the east, maybe 15 to 20 miles wide.
The beaches are fabulous. I have gone to them all of my life. There is a planetarium, a Huge Prime outlet Mall in the area. Two or three other malls that I can think of. Of course theaters, Mote Marine (a live marine museum)
is on Long Boat Key.
The area isn't a clogged city as the Tampa bay area can be at rush hour, but has everything you could possibly need.
St. Armands Key is a high end (expensive ) shopping and dining district on the gulf in
Sarasota. Between Lido Beach and Long Boat Key.
The area is probably about 130 miles from the tourist area in Orlando.
I will say we are in the midst of massive increases in taxes, property values and our Homeowners insurances are doubling or being canceled due to the horrendous hurricane seasons we had last year and the year before.
Weather Temperatures in the winter are rarely below 50 and low 90's in the summer.
Good Luck with your decision. Oops, I almost forgot, I would say 80 percent of the town is over 30.

The area is reall nice, beautiful beaches, great eateries, museums. The Sarasota area, downtown Main St, really fun place. Shops, cafes, great place to walk. The Marina area is the Cities jewel. Never run out of things to do, The Van Wezel, place for music, shows.
