Rosemary District Blends Urban Environment with Small Town Charm

The Rosemary District plays a vibrant role in the revitalization of downtown Sarasota where construction of high-rise residences is changing the skyline. The neighborhood uniquely combines an urban environment with the relaxed atmosphere of a small town with cultural amenities. Developers have singled out this area just north of downtown for its part in the rediscovery of Sarasota.

Homes in the Rosemary District range from soaring condominiums to bungalows. Development plans call for an additional 30,000 square feet of retail and office space, townhomes and apartments within walking distance of downtown. Read more about Rosemary District.
