Downtown Sarasota has become one of the hottest urban districts in the State of Florida.

Rosemary District



Founded in 1886 the Rosemary District is one of Sarasota's older areas. Located just east of Tamiami Trail and north of Fruitville Road with Central Avenue as the main street. Lot’s of shopping, dining and hanging out in this unique playground of Sarasota not to mention the cottages, condominiums and lofts. - See more at: http://www.dsasarasota.com/districts/rosemary#sthash.v6QpzTvN.dpuf
