Median days on market
The Venice Elementary School zone covers the heart of Venice — the island-grid streets, the Gulf-side neighborhoods, and the older in-town pockets that give this stretch of Sarasota County its unmistakable character. It's a place that suits beach walkers, snowbirds, and buyers who want to be within reach of the water rather than out in the newer master-planned sprawl. Compare it with the broader mix of Venice homes for sale and you'll see this zone leans compact, coastal, and established. You can trace the exact boundaries on the live map before you tour.
For buyers today, the math is approachable at the median but stretches wide at the top. The 183 active listings carry a median list price of $409,000, with 36 waterfront and 14 homes above $1M pulling the range all the way to $3.25M. Homes are sitting a median of 73 days on market and sellers are getting about 94% of asking, so there's room to negotiate if you come prepared. Older buyers often pair this zone's elementary school with Venice Middle School and Venice Senior High School as kids grow.
Venice Elementary School is an attendance zone in Nokomis, Florida.

Living in the Venice Elementary School zone
This zone covers the established heart of Venice, the part of town closest to the Gulf and built around the island-grid streets rather than the newer master-planned communities further inland. It's the kind of place that appeals to buyers who want to walk, bike, and be near the water instead of driving everywhere from a gated subdivision. The housing here skews older and more compact — the median home size is about 1,194 square feet — which tells you a lot about the neighborhood's scale and age.
The buyer profile is broad. Snowbirds and seasonal owners are drawn to the beach proximity, while year-round residents and families appreciate being in-town. With 36 waterfront and 32 pool listings active among 183 homes, there's a real coastal-lifestyle component here that you won't find in every Venice zone. You can see the full current inventory on the live map.
Because this is an attendance zone rather than a single development, you'll find a mix of single-family homes, condos, and smaller cottages side by side. That variety is part of the appeal — it keeps the area from feeling monotonous — but it also means two homes a block apart can differ widely in age, size, and price.
Schools for homes in the Venice Elementary School zone
The zone is anchored by Venice Elementary School, which gives this attendance area its name and is the starting point for most families buying here. As children move up, the common path continues to Venice Middle School and then Venice Senior High School, both part of the Sarasota County school system.
Neighboring attendance areas are served by other schools nearby, including Taylor Ranch Elementary School and Garden Elementary School. Knowing where those boundaries fall can help you understand how this zone sits within the larger Venice school map.
Attendance boundaries change from year to year, and a home that appears to be in this zone may not be. Before you make an offer with schools in mind, confirm the assignment for the specific address directly with Sarasota County Schools rather than relying on a listing description.
Homes for sale in the Venice Elementary School zone: prices and housing
There are 183 active listings with a median list price of $409,000, and the range runs all the way from $99,900 to $3.25 million. The average price per square foot is about $399, and because the median home is around 1,194 square feet, this is a zone where compact size and coastal location together drive the numbers. Over the past 12 months, 409 homes sold at a median of $400,000 — so list and sold medians line up closely.
The segments show where the money concentrates. Waterfront accounts for 36 active listings, pools for 32, gated communities for 13, and there are 14 homes priced above $1 million. There are no golf or 55+ communities in the active inventory for this zone, which again reflects its in-town, older-Venice character rather than a resort-style setting.
New construction is present but scarce — just 12 of the active listings. On costs, the median HOA is about $670 per month and the median property tax is roughly $3,399 per year, though both vary widely by property type. A no-HOA single-family home and a managed waterfront condo will carry very different monthly obligations, so read each listing's figures carefully. The broader Venice homes for sale market gives useful context for how this zone compares.
Getting around from the Venice Elementary School zone
Living in the in-town part of Venice means you're close to the island core, the Gulf-side beaches, and the everyday shopping that serves the area, rather than commuting in from a distant suburb. For many owners here, the appeal is precisely that you don't need to drive far for the essentials.
Specific drive-time data isn't available for this zone, so the best approach is to map your exact street against the destinations that matter to you — work, the beach, or routes toward Sarasota. Travel times vary noticeably between the island itself and the mainland portions of the attendance area.
When you tour, test the commute at the times you'd actually make it. Seasonal traffic in a Gulf-coast town can shift travel times meaningfully between the quiet summer months and the busy winter season.
Is the Venice Elementary School zone a good fit?
This zone works best for buyers who want to be in the established, water-adjacent heart of Venice and are comfortable with older, more compact homes. If waterfront access, a pool, or a short trip to the Gulf rank high on your list, the active inventory — 36 waterfront and 32 pool listings — gives you real choices. Buyers wanting brand-new construction or resort-style golf and 55+ communities will find this zone limited, since those segments are thin or absent here.
On price, the median near $409,000 is attainable, but the range is wide and the top end is genuinely luxury, with 14 homes above $1 million. A median of 73 days on market and sellers getting about 94% of asking suggest a market where a prepared buyer has negotiating room, not a bidding-war environment.
The honest trade-off is location versus age and size: you're paying for proximity to the water and the in-town lifestyle, often in a smaller or older home than you'd get further inland. If that balance appeals to you, this is one of the more characterful zones in Venice — just confirm the school assignment and the specific HOA and tax figures before you commit.

Venice Elementary School FAQs
Is the Venice Elementary School zone a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you value being in the older, more walkable part of Venice near the Gulf rather than out in newer subdivisions. The zone offers genuine variety — 36 waterfront and 32 pool listings among 183 active homes — so lifestyle buyers and families both find options. Confirm your exact address falls in the zone with Sarasota County Schools before you commit.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
It's mid-range at the median and premium at the top. The median list price is $409,000 and 409 homes sold over the past year at a $400,000 median, but 14 active listings are priced above $1 million and the range tops out at $3.25M. Your budget will land very differently depending on waterfront and size.
What do homes cost in the Venice Elementary School zone?+
Expect a median list price of $409,000 and an average of $399 per square foot, with a median home size around 1,194 square feet. The 12 new construction listings and 14 homes over $1M sit well above that median, while the floor of the range is near $99,900 for the smallest units.
How is the market right now?+
It's a measured market that favors prepared buyers. Homes take a median of 73 days to sell and sellers are collecting about 94% of their asking price, which signals room to negotiate. With 409 sales in the past 12 months, there's steady turnover rather than a frenzy.
What should I expect for HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $670 per month, which reflects the condo and managed-community inventory in this zone, and the median property tax is roughly $3,399 per year. Fees vary sharply by property type, so a single-family home with no association will look very different from a waterfront condo. Always check the specific listing's dues and tax record.
What schools serve this zone?+
The zone is anchored by Venice Elementary School, and families typically continue to Venice Middle School and Venice Senior High School. Nearby options like Taylor Ranch Elementary School and Garden Elementary School serve adjacent areas. Because boundaries change, verify your address with the Sarasota County school district.
What's the commute like from here?+
This is the in-town part of Venice, so you're close to the island's core and the Gulf-side neighborhoods rather than commuting out from a far suburb. Most daily errands and the beach are a short drive. For specific travel times to Sarasota or the interstate, map your exact street.
Is there new construction available?+
Yes, but it's limited — 12 of the 183 active listings are new construction. That's notable for such an established zone, where most inventory is existing homes and condos. If new build is a priority, act quickly since those listings are a small slice of the market.
