There was a time when you thought the downtown lifestyle was what you needed. You wanted to be near the clubs, near the concerts, near the trendy restaurants. If a group of friends called at 11 at night for drinks after the game, you were in. Within a matter of minutes you would walk down the block and be right where the action was. Those days and those times, however, are not quite as appealing anymore. After several years of enjoying the downtown action, you are ready for a more private, more spacious, more authentic kind of view.
Waterfront homes provide a different kind of action than the downtown clubbing scene. Having the chance to wake up and have your coffee on your outdoor deck lounge chair while you read the morning paper is a lifestyle that allows you to soak in the sound of the waves, as well as all that you have achieved.
Sarasota, Florida, is one such location. Waterfront homes for sale along Siesta Beach offer a comfortable walk across sand that is 99% pure quartz, soft, and cool for your feet. The reward of your short stroll from your beach property is a closer look at the waves of the Gulf of Mexico. Just because you are moving to the beach, however, does not mean you are removed from the scenes that have always attracted you. In fact, Sarasota is listed as number 17 on City-Data.com’s list of Top 100 cities with strongest arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation, and food services industries. Luxury homes on waterfront property though provide you a scenic oasis after you are finished celebrating and dining.
Location is listed as the top priority for luxury buyers around the world. Nearly 71% of survey respondents say they will pay more for the home’s location over its size, its historic significance, or its previous famous owners. More specifically, most luxury homeowners want properties near or on the water or beach. Waterfront homes offer a panoramic view of the ocean in all of its glory. Rather than looking out to the skyline of a busy city, beach views remind you of the vastness of all that you have achieved and all that you would like to offer and share with your family and friends. Whether you decide to dine on your own property or take a short walk to the quaint cafes of Sarasota, you will not miss the noise and crowds of a downtown residence once you move to the views of the ocean.
