Discover colorful cottages, indie theaters, art galleries and cozy cafés nestled in the heart of downtown Sarasota’s beloved Burns Court.
Amid the new construction and tropical vibes of Sarasota, lies a neighborhood unlike any others found here. Instead of Island-inspired pastels or stark modernity, brick and patina exude an Old World charm. The Burns Court community— spanning only a few blocks down Orange Ave, Pineapple Ave, and Burns Ct—fills a much-needed niche, one that brings visitors to a time and place where charm, pride and friendliness surpass mass production or speed.
