Four Walkable Neighborhoods in Sarasota

We often get requests from buyers who desire a single family home within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, quaint shops, and other cultural events. There are a multitude of downtown condos that offer the walkable lifestyle. We have several clients that have purchased around downtown who absolutely love the ability to walk out their front door and catch a cultural event at Five Points Park, grab some food at the popular Whole Foods Market and eat in one of their favorite restaurants Cafe Epicure, Louies Modern, Clasico Cafe and Bar or Selva Grill. Who wouldn't love that?

Laurel Park is a quaint Sarasota neighborhood just south of the downtown area. This is a great place to live if you want to walk to all of the amenities that downtown has to offer. It is a great solution for those who do not want to live in a downtown Sarasota condo. Residents of Laurel Park Sarasota can walk to the Farmers Market, Hollywood 20 theaters, Whole Foods grocery, Burns Court Cinema, Selby Gardens, Selby Library and all of the other wonderful shopping and numerous restaurants found in the downtown area.
