Rosemary District
Often compared to New York's SoHo and San Francisco's Soma area, the Rosemary District is an eclectic mix of renovated buildings and new construction, creating an innovative retail and business area peppered with artist studios, art galleries and adventurous restaurants.
Located at the northern edge of downtown, with Central Avenue as its spine, the community is bordered by U.S. 41 and Orange Avenue, between Fruitville Road and 10th Street. This once segregated black community is now recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as Sarasota's first documented black community.
As downtown development pushed northward during the boom years prior to 2005, the Rosemary District became the focus of new condominium construction.
