DOWNTOWN AND NEAR IN
DOWNTOWN AND NEAR IN
Sarasota's downtown district is exploding with new energy, from new luxury condominiums facing the bay to renovated apartments, and a delightful blend of both new and refurbished single-family homes. Downtown Sarasota is a vibrant and exciting place to call home. Live theater, opera, ballet, symphony, an eclectic collection of fine art galleries, and a wide variety of live entertainment in restaurants and lounges are drawing both the young professional and the mature adult to sample the flavor of this sophisticated, cosmopolitan area. |

Golden Gate Point
This bayfront jewel in Sarasota's crown will soon have the Ritz-Carlton as a new neighbor. A wave of new development is transforming this walk-to-downtown neighborhood into an upscale address. Originally used for the approach to the first Ringling bridge to St. Armands and Lido Key in 1926, the peninsula missed the initial development by John Ringling and Owen Burns. New buildings are replacing the old around the perimeter as more people are seeking this prestigious, well-located address.
