Driftwood Apartments is a 33-unit community in Sarasota's Whitfield neighborhood, offering fully renovated studios and one-bedrooms at an address that puts the best of the Gulf Coast within easy reach. Every unit has been updated from the inside out — new flooring, modern kitchens, refreshed baths, and new appliances throughout — so you're moving into a home that's already been taken care of. All utilities are covered under a single $150 monthly fee, including water, sewer, trash, electric, cable, and internet. No separate accounts to set up, no monthly surprises — just straightforward, all-inclusive living. The location is one of Driftwood's strongest assets. Whitfield Estates sits just north of University Parkway on Sarasota's northern edge, putting residents minutes from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, the UTC Mall, and the shops and dining along Highway 41. Downtown Sarasota and its arts district — home to the Ringling Museum of Art and the Asolo Repertory Theatre — are about 15 minutes away. The Gulf beaches are a short drive beyond that. Studios start at $1,195/mo. One-bedrooms start at $1,650/mo. All units include the $150/mo all-inclusive utility fee.
