Some neighborhoods in Palmer Ranch come closer to realizing the vision that real estate pioneer Bertha Palmer had in mind when she arrived in Sarasota. Like American circus magnate John Ringling, the late Palmer had traveled extensively in Europe, and she fell in love with the classic look of coastal communities near the Mediterranean.

Ms. Palmer would have loved to see the completed Plaza de Flores Sarasota, a low-rise condominium that borrows certain architectural design elements from the French Riviera. The developers of Plaza de Flores have created a place where neighbors can enjoy courtyards, fountains, walkways, and gardens lined with colorful flowers. Aside from these nice botanical details, Plaza de Flores is further beautified by lakes and tropical landscaping.

Plaza de Flores is a gated condominium community located in the Palmer Ranch area of Sarasota, Florida, comprising 200 units. The community offers five distinct floor plans, with sizes ranging from approximately 950 to 1,350 square feet. Even the more compact units feature at least two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Larger units typically offer three bedrooms. Many homes also include balconies, lanais, high ceilings, and some even offer lake views.
