As summer heats up in Sarasota, it's the perfect time to embrace green living at The DeSOTA. Nestled in the heart of downtown, our community offers modern luxury and walkable access to local gems, all while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle. Whether you're a current or future resident, here are a few ways to enjoy an eco-conscious summer right from your doorstep.
Shop Local and Organic
Reduce your carbon footprint and support Sarasota’s small businesses by shopping locally. Stop by Downtown Sarasota Farmers Market every Saturday for fresh produce, artisan goods, and organic options—just minutes from our community. Bring your reusable bags and enjoy a stroll while discovering everything from local honey to handcrafted soaps.
For sustainable groceries and wellness products, visit Earth Origins, a beloved health food store just around the corner. Their commitment to organic and non-GMO items makes it easy to stock your kitchen the eco-friendly way.
Ditch the Car and Embrace Walkability
One of the best perks of living in our neighborhood is walkability. Beat the traffic and emissions by walking or biking to nearby favorites like Buddy Brew Coffee, where you can sip locally roasted coffee with your reusable cup, or BookStore1 Sarasota, a hub for secondhand books and author events.
Plus, explore downtown's growing network of bike lanes or hop on the Bay Runner trolley—a free and sustainable way to explore Sarasota’s bayfront and beaches.
Live Sustainably at Home
Living green doesn’t stop at your front door. The DeSOTA offers energy-efficient appliances, smart thermostats, and plenty of natural light to help minimize energy use. Conserve water by taking shorter showers and turning off taps when brushing your teeth, and recycle properly using our on-site collection stations.
Whether you're lounging on your private balcony or exploring vibrant local spots, summer at The DeSOTA offers the perfect blend of sustainability and luxury. Ready to live greener in the heart of Sarasota? Schedule a tour today and experience eco-conscious living done right.
