Downtown Sarasota Condos

The upscaling of Downtown Sarasota is making the arts and culture district an exciting alternative to beachfront and island living. With the current and future focus on luxury condo development, the downtown experience for everyone living in the area is improving. There is a huge amount of investment into the walkability, beautification, green spaces, and art venues. This benefits all local residents. As more are attracted to live in the vibrant downtown, shopping and dining options also continue to expand.

Each "neighborhood" of Downtown Sarasota offers its own personality, lifestyle experience, and aesthetic. We share our insight to each of the options to provide some context and flavor.

This area is part of Sarasota's original plat of 1885. While it has had many names, it is the place where members of our community intersect, full of treasures and history. Historic markers and buildings remind us of its vibrancy and importance over 100 years ago with a department store, lunch counter, barbershop & billiards hall. Today it occupies about 20 square blocks and is where live/work/play seamlessly coexist. Current residents and business are reimagining the spaces and upgrading for the next 100 years.

Downtown Sarasota Core/Partial Bay Views

Sarasota is now on the list of Time magazine's World's Greatest Places and living in its epicenter does not disappoint. While there are multiple versions of the city's history and fun facts, its distinction as the Arts Capital of Florida is what keeps people coming back and lures them to become residents. From most downtown locations you are within 50 steps of 50 places (cafés, boutiques, theater, pubs, gallery’s and so forth.) From dining al fresco to a vibrant farmer's market, this is a true year-round community where life begins out doors.

Our Clients' Favorite Attributes:

The Picturesque Main Street Experience
Vibrant Urban Activity with Saturday Farmer’s Market, 50+ Outdoor Cafes, Restaurants & Bars, Whole Foods Market, Boutiques, Selby Library
Home to Sarasota Opera, Florida Studio Theatre, Urbanite Theatre

East Main/East Ringling (EMA&ERI)

As downtown life spreads eastward, it is greeted by the largest downtown public green space- Payne Park. The former location for spring training games, this park now serves as the northern terminus of the Legacy Trail (18-mile bike/pedestrian pathway from Downtown Sarasota to Venice). While only a handful blocks away its quietness gives it a feel of suburbia, yet the metropolis is just a 10-15 minute walk.

Our Clients' Favorite Attributes:

Condos Offer More Square Footage for $
Close to Towles Court Artist Community
Near Payne Park for Tennis, Playground, Jogging Track, Greenspace

Near Selby (NeSe)

With its northern border Mound St (Tamiami Trail) and the southern boundary Hudson Bayou. This two-block wide area offers lower price points and quick access to downtown. Certainly easier to bike than to drive. This community stretches from west to east. Depending on the location you can use Publix (grocery store) as your refrigerator and Selby (botanical gardens) as your back yard. Double wide sidewalk offers good walking opportunities to the Sarasota bay front.
