Which downtown Sarasota condo would you rather live in?
1350 Main - Great downtown location. Built in 2007 with some nice water views.
100 Central - Great location and easy to walk to all downtown amenities. Built in 2005.
Renaissance - Built in 2001. Not as convenient to Main street as 100 Central or 1350 Main. If you get high enough in the building there are some great water views.
888 and 988 - Built in 1982. Not an quick walk to Main street. Breathtaking water views.
Alinari - Built in 2007 with fabulous water views. Not very convenient to walk to Main street.
