City of Sarasota, FL: Sarasota has been reaffirmed as one of the top 10 Best Places to Live in the U.S. for 2022-23 and moved up to No. 1 in Florida, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The Sarasota area is No. 9 overall on the annual Best Places to Live list, which ranks metro areas based on quality of life, job market, value and desirability.
“People who choose Sarasota as their home are generally called by its unique charm,” the report observes. “One of the city’s up-and-coming neighborhoods is the Rosemary District, where eclectic murals decorate storefronts and modern condominiums and hotels sit near casual breakfast cafes.”
This is the second consecutive year Sarasota has ranked No. 9 on the list.
“We’re pleased Sarasota once again has been aptly recognized as a top place to live in the entire nation and now number one in Florida,” said Mayor Erik Arroyo. “Our world-class amenities, including the cultural arts, natural beauty, extensive public park spaces and newly extended Legacy Trail, thriving original restaurants, unique shopping, walkable downtown and recent micro-mobility options combine to create a very desirable city. We have our eye on the number one ranking in the U.S. and we’re working hard every day to make Sarasota a special place to live.”
Sarasota also landed on several other top-10 lists from U.S. News & World Report, ranking No. 1 among Best Places to Retire, No. 1 Best Place to Live in Florida, No. 3 among Fastest-Growing Places and No. 7 on the list of Safest Places to Live in the U.S.
“We appreciate the accolades and national recognition for Sarasota being a standout,” said City Manager Marlon Brown. “Congratulations to all who strive day in and day out to make Sarasota a great place.”
