Historic downtown Sarasota homes

Downtown Sarasota's historic neighborhoods — Laurel Park, Burns Court, and Towles Court — survived the 1980s tear-down era largely intact. You can still buy a 1925 Mediterranean Revival a block from Whole Foods, walk to the bayfront, and not own a car if you don't want to. These pockets are small (Laurel Park is 14 blocks), inventory is limited, and turnover is generational. The listings below are pulled from 34236 and filtered to pre-1980 build dates to keep the historic character.
