North Port Charlotte Country Club

It's a good fit if you want a newer, planned community with gated options in Sarasota County. The area is organized into distinct pockets like Atwater and Cranberry Fields, and families are zoned for North Port High, Heron Creek Middle, and Lamarque Elementary. Seven of the 15 active listings are gated, which adds to the settled, private feel.

Not by Sarasota County standards — the median list price is about $299,999, with active homes ranging from $149,900 to $463,800. There are no listings above $1M, so this stays firmly in the mainstream price band. At roughly $201 per square foot on a median 1,520-square-foot home, your budget goes further than in many coastal pockets.

Over the last 12 months, 24 homes sold at a median price of $280,500, while current asking prices sit near $299,999. That gap is normal and reflects negotiation room, since sellers are averaging about 96% of their asking price. You can compare active options on the live map.

It's balanced and steady. Homes are taking a median of 66 days to sell, and with 15 active listings against 24 sales in the past year, buyers have real choice without a frenzy. Sellers holding around 96% of asking means well-priced homes still move, but there's room to negotiate.

The median HOA runs about $233 per month, which is common for the gated and newer-construction communities that make up much of this area. Median property tax is around $3,955 per year. Both are worth confirming per listing, since dues vary between neighborhoods like Chamberlain and Blue Ridge - Salford.
