Forty Three West is a compact residential pocket in Sarasota County, the kind of neighborhood where the homes stay modest in size and the pace stays quiet. It sits within reach of the wider Sarasota map, from the Gulf-front stretch of Lido Key to the artsy Rosemary District, and the leafy streets of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores. Median home size here is around 1,064 square feet, so this is a place for buyers who want something manageable rather than sprawling.
The market is genuinely small — just two active listings at the moment, priced between $265,000 and $295,000 with a $280,000 median. Homes take their time, with a median 112.5 days on market and sellers netting about 92% of asking, which tells you there's room to negotiate. If you're patient and value-focused, that's an opening; if you need a lot of choice, expect to wait for inventory to turn over.
