Marquee en Ville is a small gated enclave of townhome-style condominiums at 235 Cocoanut Avenue, built in 2006 on the north edge of downtown Sarasota in the Rosemary District (community and listing sources, 2026). The residences read like multi-level townhomes, with private two-car garages, private elevators, and rooftop terraces, but they are organized as a condominium association, which shapes the fee and reserve picture.
The draw is location and walkability. The enclave sits a short walk from Main Street, the Five Points core, and the Sarasota bayfront, in what listing data describes as one of the city's most walkable areas (Walk Score, 2026). Residents are within walking distance of the Sarasota Opera, Florida Studio Theatre, and the cultural venues along the bay.
Because these are condos, the money is made or lost on the association's budget, reserves, and milestone-inspection posture, plus the parcel-level flood read, not on the headline. A townhome-style unit in a small downtown association can carry meaningful monthly dues, so the carrying cost has to be verified building by building.
The pitch is owner-occupied downtown living with a low-rise, garage-and-elevator format that is uncommon in the urban core. The work is confirming the condo documents, the reserve study, any planned assessment, and the flood and insurance math before you price the lifestyle.
