Work Remote
Why Everyone Flocks to West Florida
If you’re working remotely, there’s no better place to do it than from paradise. Located just an hour south of Tampa, the Remote Coast offers a diverse mix of housing options, from gated communities in North Port to master-planned communities, like Lakewood Ranch, and sophisticated condominiums and bungalows along Sarasota’s waterfront and downtown.
Looking for a spot to bounce ideas off other professionals, or just a quieter space? Coworking options are available in every major city. Sarasota and Manatee Counties also offer top-ranked schools, family friendly activities and an excellent nightlife — all at prices much lower than major U.S. metropolitans.

Not Throwing Shade – But We’re All Sunshine
When sunshine and mid-seventies temperatures are the norm, it’s easy to enjoy the remote-work lifestyle. Sarasota is both the No. 1 Best Place to Live in Florida and the No. 5 Prettiest City to Live in the South. Find a nice shady spot at the world’s top-ranked beach, Siesta Key Beach, and work where the sand is always soft. Then, at five, hit up the Sarasota Surf & Racquet Club for a game of singles or doubles. Florida’s West Coast is a premier spot for more space, more fun and more opportunities.
Find Your Remote Tribe
The Suncoast is filled with coworking options to support the remote work and freelancer lifestyle. Digital nomads can find their comfort zone at places like Station 2 Innovation in Bradenton, where networking events help develop community and strengthen access to resources. In North Port, CoWork Hive provides community workspaces in a shared collaborative environment. Ready to launch your own business? KOWORX is based on the idea that a community of like-minded professionals are strong together. Regardless of what you do or the dreams you embrace, you’ll find your community on the Suncoast.
Make Meaningful Connections
Whether you’re looking for new clients or just some fresh inspiration, networking groups throughout Florida’s West Coast are here to help. North Port Young Professionals offers no-cost membership and the Manatee Chamber of Commerce offers an entire calendar of events including Successful Women Aligning Together (SWAT) and Toastmasters International.
