Aqualane Estates

It suits buyers who want quiet, water-focused living close to Sarasota's coast and downtown. Nearly every home here is waterfront and most come with a pool, and assigned schools include Phillippi Shores Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High. It's a small enclave, so expect a residential feel rather than nightlife or walkable retail.

Yes — this is a luxury waterfront market where all seven active listings are priced above $1M. The median list price is $1,795,000, with homes ranging from $1,195,000 up to $5,650,000, and the average price works out to about $850 per square foot. It's priced well above the broader Sarasota market.

Active listings run from $1,195,000 to $5,650,000, with a median list price of $1,795,000 on a typical home of about 3,077 square feet. Over the past 12 months five homes sold at a median price of $760,000, so there's a meaningful gap between current asking prices and what has actually closed. Average pricing sits near $850 per square foot.

It's a slow, buyer-favorable market at the luxury end — homes take a median of 185 days to sell, and only five changed hands in the last year. Sellers are getting about 91% of their asking price on average, which signals real negotiating room. With just seven active listings, inventory is limited but not moving quickly.

There's no reported HOA fee data for the neighborhood, so expect minimal or no mandatory association costs here. Property taxes run a median of about $14,821 per year, in line with the area's higher-end waterfront values. If you're considering renting instead, the median rent is around $8,000 per month.
