Coverage Area:
Sarasota County serves the cities of Englewood, Laurel, Nokomis, North Port, Osprey, Sarasota, Venice,
Casey Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, Manasota Key and Siesta Key.
Unique Locations:
Sarasota County is more than just white sand beaches, sparkling gulf waters, and gorgeous sunsets. It is diverse architectural styles, up-scale communities and distinctive ethnic neighborhoods; it is jungles, swamps and marshes; it is the deep South, New England, the Midwest, farmlands and plains. Sarasota has the look of the Caribbean, Cape Cod, Los Angeles, or even the plains of Africa. About the only look we don’t have is mountains - and we can make those!
