Sarasota National has a range of single-family homes and estate properties, many with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, high-speed internet, cable TV, air conditioning, and phone lines, and there's furniture in the rooms. Some homes stand out for their three-car garages, extra storage, covered patios, and inside laundry, and you'll see master bedrooms that measure 16 by 18 feet, living rooms at 19 by 23 feet, and kitchens sized at 13 by 19 feet, so there's space to move around. Built around 2007 by Lennar, Divosta Homes, and Centex Homes, these homes sit on lots about .21 acres with garages and driveways, and the community uses hurricane shutters, irrigation systems, and sliding doors. There are central air and heat systems throughout, and the area stays well-kept with sidewalks, lighting, and rain gutters, so getting around's easier for most residents. The community called WCI at Sarasota National has a guard gate with a call box for security.
Dining services have a restaurant-style setup with options for special diets, and they help folks with diabetes or allergies, and meal prep and service go on all day. Families and residents use the dining room, but there's also outdoor dining on covered patios for those who prefer fresh air or a scenic view of the lakes and ponds spread out over the property. The community provides laundry, housekeeping, and move-in help for new residents, and there's a concierge, so daily chores can get handled. There are game rooms, a library, a fitness center, and a spa or wellness room, along with regular movie nights, music programs, and an activity schedule, so folks have things to do and places to be-some days it's outdoor activities, and other times it's arts or group events inside.
Residents use a pool, tennis courts, a golf course, a clubhouse, and walking paths, and there are parks and outdoor spaces that add to the area's well-maintained look, though water issues have been reported within the first two years for some homes. There's 24-hour supervision, a call system for emergencies, and staff help with bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and there's healthcare close by for those who need it. Transportation and parking are available, and security comes from the guard gate and other measures. Homes usually look comfortable and modern, with larger eat-in kitchens and open great rooms. Overall, Sarasota National offers active living with community programs and practical services for residents, but it's a regular place, not without its challenges, including history of water-related issues, and homes get built quickly with some options for fast completion.
