Big changes could be on the horizon for Sarasota County: there’s a proposal on the table for up to 5,700 new homes across 2,351 acres east of I-75. The plan is ambitious—4,702 homes, a dedicated 200-acre conservation easement, and a town center featuring 1,000 additional homes, affordable housing options, commercial space, and public amenities. As someone who’s spent 36 years helping folks find their place here, I can’t help but consider how developments like this will shape our community and the daily lives of both long-time residents and newcomers. Whether you’re thinking about investing, relocating, or simply curious about how Sarasota is evolving, it’s worth watching how these plans unfold. I believe understanding these changes is essential for anyone looking to make Sarasota their home.
