One of Sarasota’s quaint, historic neighborhoods is also a great place to live! Burns Court, immediately south of downtown Sarasota, is the setting for a number of classic, historical homes and other sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But Burns Court is more than mere history; today it’s a lively community of cozy romantic restaurants, small art galleries and boutiques, and a handful of homes belonging to some of Sarasota’s luckiest homeowners. A stroll through Burns Court is a lesson in the fascinating history of Sarasota.
