Sarasota Is One Of The Best Cities In America For Families

Fortune has put together a list of the 25 best places to live in America for families. They way they compiled this list is they, “evaluated nearly 2,000 cities, towns, suburbs, exurbs, villages, and townships that had between 25,000 and 750,000 residents across all 50 states in the U.S. This range provided a broad universe of places that offered high-quality amenities in communities with a hometown feel.”

They also collected 215,000 unique data points across five categories: Education, Aging resources, General wellness, Financial health and Livability.

Sarasota landed in the Top 25 at #22 on Fortune‘s list. Here is what they say about Sarasota, “Unlike many Florida cities, Sarasota is not just for retirees. It has seen an influx of younger residents over the past few years, bringing down the average age and sending home prices higher. “
