Laurel Park is one of Sarasota's oldest residential neighborhoods, a walkable pocket of restored bungalows, brick-paved streets, and mature oaks that sits just east of downtown. You're close enough to walk to the shops and restaurants of the Rosemary District, and a short drive from the beaches at Lido Key — the kind of location that lets you skip the car most days.
