One of the first planned communities in Sarasota that continues to grow and evolve is mid-Sarasota's The Meadows. The beauty of this neighborhood is its diversity. From million-dollar homes to modest villas, these homes are tucked into a beautiful expanse of land where nature and wildlife run free. You can get lost with the winding roads of grandfather oaks and Spanish moss. A very active social neighborhood, the Meadows has a lot of special interest groups, allowing for easy integration into this neighborhood for newcomers. The Meadows houses three 18-hole championship golf courses, the 14 miles of sidewalks and bike trails, a 1.7-mile fitness loop and 5,000 square foot fitness center.
Life in The Meadows means access to some of the best right in your neighborhood. Centrally-located within the community is The Meadows Shopping Village, which conveniently includes a bank, dentist, restaurants, cleaners, and a barber shop. Other neighbors in the community include The Meadows Country Club, featuring some of the finest golf and tennis in Florida. Additionally, there are a number of retirement neighborhoods tucked in, as well as assisted living facilities for those in various stages of aging.
The expansive, mature, and distinguished neighborhood of The Meadows is one of the most sought-after areas in Sarasota. The area is over 1600 acres and over 3,450 residences. For people who lead a more relaxed life, the mature landscaping lends itself to bird-watching on calm afternoons. With housing options from garden homes to villas to single family homes and estates, The Meadows also finds itself friendly to nearly every budget. The Meadows' beautiful, serene setting includes more than 80 sparkling lakes and waterways and lush, mature Florida landscaping.
Location: Just a jog from I-75 and downtown, the north Sarasota location is close to everything, yet far enough away the neighborhood is quiet from the hustle and bustle.
