Ballentine Manor Estates is the kind of established Sarasota neighborhood where homes sit on comfortable lots and the pace stays residential. You're within easy reach of the energy that makes this city tick — the galleries and restaurants of the Rosemary District, the green space around Arlington Park, and the Gulf beaches out on Lido Key — without paying for a coastal address.
For buyers, this is a thin, patient market. There's typically just a handful of homes trading here each year, so inventory is scarce and the properties that do list tend to be real houses with space, not condos. The upside: sellers have been getting full asking, which tells you demand is steady even when supply isn't. If you want a foothold in central Sarasota, you'll want to move decisively when the right Sarasota home comes up.
Ballentine Manor Estates is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Straight answers
Ballentine Manor Estates FAQs
Is Ballentine Manor Estates a good place to live?+
It's a solid fit if you want an established, residential feel with quick access to central Sarasota. You're close to Arlington Park and downtown culture, assigned schools include Bayshore High School and Florine J Abel Elementary, and the near-zero $3/month HOA keeps things low-maintenance. The trade-off is a small, quiet neighborhood rather than a bustling amenity-rich community.
Is Ballentine Manor Estates expensive?+
It sits in a comfortable mid-market range for Sarasota. The current median list price is $659,000, and homes work out to about $293 per square foot. Property taxes are reasonable too, with a median around $2,055 a year.
What do homes cost in Ballentine Manor Estates?+
Right now the single active listing is priced at $659,000, and over the past 12 months the median sold price was $650,000. At roughly 2,250 square feet, that's genuine single-family space rather than a condo footprint. Expect to pay close to asking given how tight supply is.
How is the market in Ballentine Manor Estates?+
It's a low-volume, seller-friendly market — only about 3 homes sold in the last year, and those sellers averaged 100% of their asking price. Homes can take time to appear and to move, with a median of 101 days on market, so patience and quick action both matter here. Across greater Sarasota you'll find more options if timing is tight.
What about HOA fees and taxes here?+
Carrying costs are light for the area. The median HOA is just $3 a month, and the median annual property tax runs about $2,055. That makes it an easy neighborhood to budget for once you've closed.
