Frequently asked questions

How many cheaper, more affordable apartments are available in Sarasota, FL?

There are 3,516 cheaper apartment units available for rent.

What does "Cheap" mean for Apartment rentals in Sarasota, FL?

Cheap is a relative term to communicate more "affordable" rental and living expenses. Although a property might be found within the "Cheap Apartments" search, does not mean it is a low-quality rental. These more affordable apartments are also relative to the other apartment inventory within Sarasota. Some areas will be cheaper than others and based on demand, rent will fluctuate.

How to search for Cheap Apartments in Sarasota, FL?

When searching on HotPads for more affordable apartments, use the "Sort:" feature to sort apartments by Lowest Price for Sarasota. Additionally, set a max price for your search and select "Save search" to be notified in real-time when "cheaper" apartments come on the market.

What are some additional tips for securing a "cheaper" apartment?

Although a larger multi-tenant building is less likely to negotiate rental terms there are a few things that don't hurt to try, including:

Offer to sign a longer lease for lowered monthly rent
Negotiate landscaping or property maintenance for lowered monthly rent
Ask about becoming an onsite property manager
Educate yourself regarding the apartment rental market and market rates in Sarasota. Knowing this will help you accurately negotiate fair rent.

About Sarasota

Sarasota is a city with approximately 52,000 residents, located on the west coast of Florida in Sarasota County. Sarasota offers much in the way of culture, including the top-notch Asolo Repertory Theater and a resident opera company. But plenty of residents think the city's greatest assets are its location on beautiful Sarasota Bay and its proximity to gorgeous beaches. Its beach on Siesta Key was named the best beach in America in 2011 by 'Dr. Beach,' Dr. Stephen Leatherman, Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University.

Sarasota owes some of its cultural heritage to the influence of the Ringling family and its circus, which made Sarasota its winter headquarters in the early 20^thCentury. It's because of John Ringling that Sarasota has a world-class art museum and a circus history museum, which visitors can tour.

Sarasota's most popular neighborhoods surround its burgeoning downtown, which boasts new shops, restaurants and an art scene. Gillespie Park and Paver/Ringling Park are two hot neighborhoods nearby. But one of the most sought-after areas is the barrier island of Lido Key, which offers beautiful beaches.

Commuters drive or use the Sarasota County Area Transit (SCAT), which offers bus service throughout the county. The area's major airport is Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Tampa and St. Petersburg are both about an hour away by car. Bradenton is 30-45 minutes away.
