THINGS TO DO IN SARASOTA

Strolling along walkable streets filled with fine restaurants, upscale retail shops, and entertainment venues is an everyday occurrence for those living in downtown Sarasota. A plethora of attractions is available for residents, including the weekly Sarasota Farmers Market, which draws local farmers, artisans, chefs, and growers to downtown’s bustling streets.  

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is a must-visit for those living downtown, as its lush grounds are home to thousands of tropical flora, a popular conservatory, and a garden museum with exhibits. Afterward, extend your fun-filled adventure in nature to Bayfront Park, a waterfront green space with a tiki bar, panoramic views of the bay and the city, and a children’s playground.

No visit Downtown is complete without a trip to Florida Studio Theatre, located along Palm Avenue. This longstanding, multi-stage theatre provides the ultimate entertainment for guests through live performances, such as plays and concerts.

The pricing of waterfront homes in Sarasota is influenced by several key factors. Location is a primary driver, with beachfront properties typically commanding premium prices due to their scarcity and breathtaking views. Other factors include the size of the property, the condition of the home, and the quality of its features and finishes.
