Florine J Abel Elementary School

It's a well-located Sarasota neighborhood with a rare mix of waterfront, pool, and new-construction homes inside one attendance zone. The area also feeds into recognized schools like Brookside Middle School and Sarasota High, which matters to families planning ahead. The breadth of housing means buyers at very different budgets can all find a footing here.

It depends heavily on what you want — the median list price is $535,000, but active listings run from $89,000 to $5,500,000. Homes that actually sold over the past year did so at a median of $409,000, so real closing prices tend to land below the headline list number.

Expect around $408 per square foot on average, with a median home size of about 1,371 square feet. Nine of the current listings are priced above $1 million, but the majority sit well under that, and the median sold price of $409,000 reflects where most transactions land.

It's steady and balanced. Homes take a median of 38 days to sell, 103 closed in the last 12 months, and sellers are averaging 96% of their asking price — a sign that well-priced homes move while overpriced ones sit. You can track current activity across Sarasota homes for sale to gauge momentum.

The median HOA runs about $715 per month, which reflects the condo and maintained-community options in the zone, while single-family homes often carry lower or no HOA. Median property tax is roughly $3,781 per year, and for comparison the median rent sits at $2,595 per month.
