Pool Construction in Sarasota's Inland Neighborhoods
Central and East Sarasota encompasses the established inland neighborhoods that developed as Sarasota grew eastward from the 1960s through the 1980s. Bee Ridge, Lake Sarasota, Bent Tree, Colonial Oaks, and Sarasota Springs are predominantly single-family residential communities with concrete block construction and modest to mid-size lots.
The pool stock in these neighborhoods reflects their development era. Most pools were installed between the 1970s and the 1990s and are now 30 to 50 years old. At that age, pools commonly need resurfacing, equipment replacement, and structural evaluation. Pool Creations regularly works in Central and East Sarasota on resurfacing projects, equipment upgrades, and full remodels.
All neighborhoods in this area fall within unincorporated Sarasota County. Pool permits are issued by Sarasota County Building Services. Pool Creations handles all county permit applications, engineering submittals, and inspections in-house. Bent Tree is a deed-restricted community with HOA/ARC review requirements; Pool Creations prepares the documentation package for HOA submissions.
