In 2000, Golden Gate Point was a small waterfront community adjacent to Marina Jack's and the downtown Bayfront in Sarasota. Many of the condominium buildings at that time were old buildings in need of repair or possibly in need of being torn down and replaced with state-of-the-art buildings. In just 8 years, this community has made an unbelievable transformation. Waterfront condo owners on Golden Gate Point have sweeping views of Sarasota Bay, the downtown marina or the new Ringling Bridge. The Gulf of Mexico can be spotted in the distance from some of the higher units.

Towles Court - Sarasota Artist Colony Neighborhood

One of my favorite neighborhoods in Sarasota is Towles Court. Sprinkled through this downtown area are colorful charming homes, restaurants, shops and professional business. My dentist's office is a quaint cottage surrounded by lush tropical foliage. Going to the dentist is a joy these days.

Many of the buildings in Towles Court were built in the 1920s and some have historical designations. This popular Sarasota neighborhood is home to many residents who live and work at home. Walking through Towles Court, you can see cottages, galleries, a selection of choice restaurants which have been cleverly renovated. Homesowners have added all the designer touches in kitchens, bathrooms and tropical walk-through gardens. This beautiful Sarasota artist community is a "must see" for location, location, location.

Artists in the area display their work and taking a morning stroll or an evening outing, residents experience a walking gallery of outdoor sculptures around Towles Court. Stop by the Canvas Cafe and take a break. It's on Links Avenue right off Ringling, in the heart of Towles Court.

Towles Court is located on the fringe of downtown Sarasota and close to Sarasota's beaches. Every third Friday of the month, artists in Towles Court exhibit their work at a Gallery Walk.
