Steps to Downtown Sarasota: Life at The Owen on Golden Gate Point
Golden Gate Point is one of the smaller, quieter places in Sarasota, and that is precisely why it has long been one of the most desirable. A narrow peninsula extending into Sarasota Bay, framed on three sides by water, it sits at the foot of the John Ringling Causeway and steps from the heart of downtown. Turn off Gulfstream Avenue onto the Point and the noise of the city falls away, while still being minutes from everything.
The Owen, a boutique mid-rise with just 29 residences, occupies the southern tip of Golden Gate Point.

The Privacy Paradox
Golden Gate Point’s character is unusual for a downtown address. Tree-lined sidewalks, brick-paved streets, and a gas-lighted entry give the peninsula the feel of a quiet, residential neighborhood, insulated from the density and traffic of other downtown areas. Protected sidewalks extend for miles in every direction, ideal for a morning run, a walk with the dog, or a stroll to the marina.
