Sarasota and Manatee counties are some of the fastest growing areas in the country. I think you pay a premium for places in Sarasota and HOAs are rampant. Bradenton just north is a bit more working class. Area becomes a traffic jam in winter. It is beautiful, though. Geared much more to the affluent retiree and families than the Spring Break crowd. It is beautiful. The 2 big gun shops are Shoot Straight on 301 and University, and The Bullet Hole in downtown Sarasota. A few smaller shops but those 2 have the largest selection by far.
I've been here just over a year and love it |

Parrish, FL.
Also, head east on Hwy64 (east of I75) for real rural living and less $$$, though not as less $$$ as you'd think really. There may be homes out there with less sticker shock or older houses, but still close to I75 and a commute to north or central Sarasota wouldn't be too bad. You'll go past Ancient Oaks trap and clay shooting as you head east on Hwy64 too (its on the south side of hwy 64) in a farmer's pasture just east of Lorraine Rd (gooogle Hwy64 and Lorraine Rd area). They have golf carts and rental guns, etc. Its a decent operation. |

flying down Tuesday for an interview tell me about the area / real estate places to shoot (trap shooting a plus) where not to buy thanks We purchased in Oct 2015 and our Realtor believed Sarasota was/is in a 'bubble'. Low supply and high demand for homes, so you pay accordingly. |

how far North and East to get to a more rural setting, I'm OK with a 45 minute - hour drive to get to work |

Good luck at the interview. Do you mind saying what industry? We purchased in Oct 2015 and our Realtor believed Sarasota was/is in a 'bubble'. Low supply and high demand for homes, so you pay accordingly. |

Going north, look at Bradenton, Parrish or Palmetto. I can get to downtown Sarasota in about 30 mins from Palmetto. Those areas will typically be cheaper than Sarasota, and usually lower property taxes as well. |

You could look for something on the east end of Fruitville Road as well.
