Visit The Oaks if you are looking for world-class grandeur, elegance, and fun for all ages.  The Oaks is located on south Tamiami Trail (US 41) in Osprey Florida - about 11 miles south of downtown Sarasota and 8 miles north of Venice. This 1,000 acre gated golf community is divided into three smaller neighborhoods: Oaks Bayside, The Preserve, and Oaks Clubside.  In addition there are the Meridian towers on the Bay side. The south end of Little Sarasota Bay borders The Oaks.

The Oaks homeowners are required to join The Oaks Country Club, an on-premises country club offering its members admission to 14 Har-Tru tennis courts, 2 18-hole golf courses, a Junior Olympic pool, and more.  The Oaks Club also recently has renovated its multimillion dollar 38,000 square foot Georgian clubhouse, complete with a ballroom and grand staircase.  With rooms suited for formal and casual occasions, your family will find the clubhouse a lovely setting for hosting dinner parties and other special events. 

Residents of The Oaks respect one anothers privacy; however, there are many options for those who seek community involvement.  Regular activities include sporting events, bridge parties, and literature discussion groups, just to name a few.  Residents can also get together to enjoy the natural beauty of the communitys 10-acre bald eagle sanctuary.

For those who want to venture outside of The Oaks, Osprey offers a nice selection of upscale dining and shopping opportunities.  Also, the Historic Spanish Point museum borders Oaks Bayside.  During spring months, the museum offers historical dramas, providing visitors with a taste of Floridas fascinating history.

Shopping is very near-by including Publix, Albertson's and the new Wal-Mart Super Center.

The Oaks is truly set apart for fine living.  For residents convenience, a registered helipad is located on the grounds.
