a bit about the Alta Vista neighborhood of Sarasota 
|
|
The Alta Vista neighborhood in Sarasota is an "older" non-HOA neighborhood adjacent to the downtown area, mainly residential: about 800 residences (not counting new projects), both single-family and multi-family, comprised of everything from 1920's wooden bungalows, to ranch houses of the 50's-70's, to brand-new modernist-style homes, condominium complexes, plus numerous new townhome & apartment complexes underway.

MUCH DEVELOPMENT is HAPPENING hereabouts...
Lots of changes to the neighborhood as well as along its immediate edges, as Sarasota sprawls, infills and grows.
Many teardowns of older homes to build new, larger homes. For more details see the project pages under "Sarasota Grows."

Along the "main drag" to the west, S. Washington Blvd (US 301, a.k.a. Tamiami Trail), are many commercial establishments, including our local Bay Street Publix grocery store.
Along Ringling Boulevard to the north are many of Sarasota County government's facilities, as well as the Sarasota Police Department.
Payne Park, the "Central Park of Sarasota," is right in our backyard.
