Just go where the doctors are. This is one tip that many home buyers often get in searching for luxury Sarasota homes. Given this cryptic but smart advice, which is essentially founded on the high public regard for the medical profession, Paradise Shores should easily be a favored home buying destination.

Residential buyers following doctors’ home choices, however, isn’t the only the stimulus that put Paradise Shores among the premier destinations in searching for luxury waterfront Sarasota properties.

Friendly neighborhoods

The peaceful and friendly waterside setting of Paradise Shores is complemented by a serene ambiance afforded by the lush, decades-old tropical trees serving as canopies over the narrow streets in the locality. Fittingly, the streets that meander around this community are named after birds—Blue Heron, Mallard, Oriole, Sandpiper and Sparrow—contributing to the overall charm of Paradise Shores.

Prime local attractions
