A community surrounding "old" Florida Highway 301, tucked in between the two new state highways, is the tallevast neighborhood. Tallevast is home to approximately 80 residents who reside on seven streets each three-quarters of a mile long. Each street is separated by oak trees and manicured St. Augustine grass lawns. The neighborhood is a great place to raise a family.
The Tallevast neighborhood is located in the northeast part of Sarasota. The ZIP Code is 94950. The area is part of the Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice Metropolitan Statistical Area. Tallevast Road, which connects to the city's other major roads, is being widened to accommodate the influx of public transportation. This is expected to reduce the time residents must travel to larger expressways.
