Live Near St. Armands Circle
Shopping in Sarasota is no joke, and if you choose to
live in one of our Garden Grove apartments near St. Armands Circle,
you’ll find you have immediate access to some of the best shopping in town.
Located in the heart of St. Armands Key, a small island
just off the coast of mainland Sarasota, St. Armands Circle is a collection of
more than 130 shops, restaurants, and pampering services clustered around a
park within the center of a rotary. The circle is a vision of famed circus
magnate John Ringling, whose mark can be seen all across Sarasota, including
touches of his aesthetic in the design of the streets and the myriad Italian
statues found scattered throughout the area.

You can spend countless hours browsing the wide range of
offerings at each of the shops, many of which are boutique style, meaning
you’ll be hard-pressed to find them in any run-of-the-mill mall—or anywhere
else for that matter. Whether you prefer to find your next high-fashion
wardrobe addition, just want to browse for trinkets to add to your eclectic
collection, or you want to pick up some gourmet comestibles to nibble on back
home, this place has it all.
Since so much shopping is sure to work up an appetite,
it’s good to know that choices abound, all just steps from wherever you are.
Satisfy your sweet tooth with fresh-baked macarons, get sauced from a heaping
plate of house-made pasta,
or just get that jolt of energy you need from a piping hot
honey-lavender latte. The options for any taste are truly endless just minutes
from our apartments near St. Armands Circle.
Shopping and good eats aside, be sure to keep tabs on the
island’s calendar of events. From car shows to street
fairs—such as June’s annual St. Armands Craft Festival—and celebrations around
the holidays, there are plenty of reasons to stop by, even if firing up the
charge card isn’t high up on your to-do list for the day.
When you’re in one of our apartments near St. Armands
Circle, this island retreat can become a regular excursion, not just a part of

want their every day to be most people’s vacation dreams?
