Life is pretty sweet at The Glenridge on Palmer Ranch® – and it’s only getting sweeter as we celebrate our sixteenth year of being voted the Best Retirement Community in Sarasota, according to Sarasota Magazine’s annual ranking.
But this milestone is only the latest step in our ever-evolving journey to innovate, advance, and do more for those who call our community home. Since we opened our doors more than two decades ago, we’ve spared no effort to create a one-of-a-kind environment where members truly flourish – and we plan to keep challenging the status quo for years to come.
So, in honor of our “sweet sixteen,” here are just reasons why life at The Glenridge is really the best – according to the people who live and work here:
- The Best Place to Live Well. From tai chi to bocce to Zumba®, the myriad wellness programs and amenities offered at our 9,000-sq.-ft. Fitness Complex make it easy to stay active and feel great. Member Bonnie Richards, a familiar face at the Fitness Center, loves the variety: “There’s no pressure to do anything – so you’re free to try everything.”
- The Best Culture Close to Home. Sarasota is known for its world-class art, dance and music, but even by local standards, The Glenridge – and the elegant 260-seat Glenridge Performing Arts Center – is a stand-out. “We’re in a community of people who are passionate about culture,” say members Bob and Laurel Dove. “It’s vibrant.”
- The Best Chef-Crafted Cuisine. Whether you’re savoring the perfect steak at the Hawthorne or kicking off happy hour with cocktails at the Kiltie Grille, The Glenridge’s innovative restaurants never fail to impress. But there’s no “secret sauce,” says Executive Chef Marco Marini – just a simple philosophy, executed to perfection: “The best food. The freshest ingredients. No shortcuts.”
