Winter in Sarasota: Paradise Found
As January brings chilly temperatures to much of the country, Sarasota continues to showcase why it's one of Florida's most desirable winter destinations. With average temperatures hovering in the pleasant 70s, our pristine beaches and vibrant cultural scene are drawing more than just seasonal visitors – many are deciding to make our slice of paradise their permanent home.
The Winter Escape
The trend we're seeing at SRQ Coastal Living is clear: what starts as a winter escape often transforms into a year-round lifestyle choice. And it's not hard to see why. While northern states battle snow and ice, Sarasota residents are enjoying outdoor dining at St. Armands Circle, taking sunset strolls on Siesta Key Beach, and teeing off at one of our world-class golf courses.
Cultural Appeal
This winter season has been particularly exciting for our local real estate market. The combination of our temperate climate, no state income tax, and a thriving arts scene continues to attract buyers from across the country. The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall's winter program is in full swing, and the Sarasota Opera's winter season is about to begin, adding to our area's cultural appeal.
