The Courtyard at Citrus

The Courtyard at Citrus Condos for Sale – Sarasota, Florida 34236

The Courtyard at Citrus is the phase II of the mixed-use development Citrus Square on North Orange Avenue. This pair are at the historic Rosemary District north of downtown, which has recently emerged as a hotspot for Sarasota condos for sale.

Courtyard’s completion, expected in 2019, would create a distinct condominium complex at the east-facing block of Orange Avenue from the Boulevard of the Arts down to 4th Street. Like Citrus Square, the Courtyard’s design creates a multi-structure look achieved through varying rooflines and an inter-mix of styles in other architectural elements, such as windows and balconies.

Apt for a “Design District”

The unique makeup of these two developments thus provides an endearing touch to the Rosemary District whose revitalization in recent years has already earned for it the distinction of being “Sarasota’s Design District.”

Both properties were developed following the New Urbanist concept of walkable communities which could help draw a new crop of prospective buyers searching for Sarasota condos for sale. Primarily, this concept encourages walkable urban neighborhoods which is more and more becoming the dominant feature of Rosemary District.

The theme of Courtyard at Citrus and its sister development also jibes well with the Rosemary’s historic character which manifests in the district’s tree-lined streetscape, vintage lampposts, and wide, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks.

Agent of Walkability

The Courtyard, like the older Citrus Square, will feature commercial spaces at the ground level of its four-story building, thus contributing to walkability in its neighborhoods. Notably, the Rosemary area has been named recently as among the top 10 walkable districts in Florida. Such a status could be expected to grow some more with the rich mix of new property developments that have mushroomed recently in this 125-acre district.

Currently, there are about a dozen constructions projects either underway or in the pipeline in Rosemary, most of which are condos and apartments. This boom was mainly brought about by the creation of an overlay district in this locality, which in effect allowed more residential units per acre.

Low-density Feature

The Courtyard at Citrus, however, is a low-density development with just 10 boutique condos at the two upper floors of its condo building. Midwestern in their appeal, these residences overlook a private courtyard with fireplace and sitting area. The condos will also have a unique, covered parking area with solar panels as source of exterior lighting.

Choices of units in this property start on one- or two-bedroom condos designed with floor plans of about 900‒1,000-plus square feet priced from the high $300s. The top pick in the Courtyard is its two-floor penthouse with a rooftop pool and an outdoor living area.

Tops Inside and Out

Besides the distinctive architecture of the Courtyard’s building, prospective buyers are wont to be impressed too by each unit’s interior details and finish. These outstanding features include high-quality floors, all-wood cabinets, upgraded molding, and granite countertops and designer appliances in the kitchens.

Additionally, these condos come bright and airy with their 10-foot ceilings. Courtyard condos for sale are ultra-quiet as well with the sound abatement incorporated in their build. Their solid doors and hurricane-standard windows further make the Courtyard a leading pick amongst buyers of Sarasota condos for sale.
