Among few Venice area places with open land

While much of Venice has been taken up by development, the community of Venice Farms just south of Interstate 75 is one of the few spots that still has some notably open land. Although fast growing, those seeking to settle in Sarasota County could find ample opportunities here, especially with newer homes. And as some locals quickly point out, this Gulf Coast community is within proximity of a number of desirable amenities, including its pristine white sand beaches, plenty of outdoor recreation spots and coastal dining options too.

Florida coastal homes

Like much of Sarasota County, homes here are commonly found in planned subdivisions most visibly identified by neat rows of detached single-family homes featuring low pitched, tiled roofs, complete with meticulously manicured lawns and palm trees. Prices for many homes in the area around Jacaranda Boulevard and East Venice Avenue fall within the $300,000 to roughly $700,000 range, depending on the age size and location of the property. For example, a modest single-story, three-bedroom home with light-colored siding and a front yard featuring a pair of palm trees can go for $535,000. While another single-story, three-bedroom Spanish revival style recently went for $610,000.

Grab a bite at BrewBurgers

One of the main retail destinations in Venice Farms is the Jacaranda Commons, a shopping center located just off the corner of East Venice Avenue and Jacaranda Boulevard. A Publix grocery store anchors this retail center. For dining options, residents can choose from options a little farther north along Jacaranda Boulevard, like BrewBurgers. Known for its gourmet burgers, some of which are named after the owner’s family members and friends, choices like the “Ollie G.” include homemade garlic and herb cheese, spicy olive tapenade and chipotle ranch dressing.

Explore T. Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve

While golf is obviously one of the leading pastimes here, recreation in Sarasota County isn’t limited to leisurely rounds on the courses. The county also has its fair share of natural outdoor destinations. Among them is the T. Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve. Located just north of Venice Farms, the reserve offers outdoor activities and plenty of sightseeing. Visitors can hike or bike along the reserve's 100-plus miles of trails, or take the paths on horseback. For the more adventurous, opt to pack a tent and spend the night in the wilderness, or simply spend an afternoon out on the water paddling.

Among other notable accolades, Venice High School is ranked by Niche as the 10th best high school in the state for athletes.

Ride the Breeze transit system

The Breeze transit system covers all of the communities across Sarasota County, with the affiliated Breeze OnDemand minivans and SUVs going out to a handful of specific zones. Venice Farms is located right between I-75 and U.S. Highway 41, each of which provides direct connections to the major parts of Sarasota County. Being located right off I-75, residents of Venice Farms can also, on a greater scale, directly travel to their Gulf Coast neighbors like Tampa to the north and Fort Myers or Cape Coral to the south.
