A historic neighborhood of single family homes and apartment buildings, adjacent to the heart of the City of Sarasota. This highly sought-after community with its friendly neighbors has access to a kayak launch and is within short walk to the city's downtown district. Echoing Andrés Duany, Strong Towns identifies Laurel Park as the new urban ideal walkable neighborhood and model from the past for the present and future.
Oh, and yes, there is an actual park, Laurel Park, located within the namesake neighborhood.
Sarasota Magazine considers Laurel Park the perfect alternative to a downtown condo. The diverse historic architecture and engaged neighborhood is shown in ABC7 Suncoast's A Place We Call Home.
