Barton Farms is the kind of east-Sarasota community buyers land on when they want a gated address and a bit more square footage than the coastal neighborhoods allow — the median home here runs around 2,712 square feet. It's a quieter counterpoint to the walkable energy of the Rosemary District or the beachfront draw of Lido Key, with the kind of settled, family-oriented feel that pairs well with its assigned schools. Downtown Sarasota's culture and dining are an easy drive, and the broader market of Sarasota homes for sale keeps plenty of options within reach if your search ranges wider.
Right now the neighborhood is tight: just two active listings, with a median list price of $848,500 spanning $749,000 to $948,000. That list number sits well above the $615,000 median that 18 homes actually sold for over the past year, so sellers are testing the top of the range — though homes still move in about three weeks and close near 96% of asking. If you're comparing against Arlington Park or Sky Ranch, expect to act decisively when the right Barton Farms home appears.

Barton Farms FAQs
Is Barton Farms a good place to live?+
It's a gated, family-friendly pocket of east Sarasota assigned to Tatum Ridge Elementary, McIntosh Middle, and Sarasota High School. The larger home sizes — a median of 2,712 square feet — and quieter setting appeal to buyers who want space without giving up access to downtown and the beaches. For a more urban feel, the Rosemary District offers a walkable alternative nearby.
Is Barton Farms expensive?+
The two active listings carry a median list price of $848,500, ranging from $749,000 to $948,000. That's a premium over the past year's median sold price of $615,000, which reflects both limited current inventory and sellers aiming high. Compared with the full range of Sarasota homes for sale, it sits in the mid-to-upper tier.
What do homes cost in Barton Farms?+
Expect to pay around $312 per square foot, with current listings between $749,000 and $948,000 and a median list of $848,500. Over the last 12 months, 18 homes closed at a median of $615,000, so actual sale prices have run below today's asking levels.
How is the market in Barton Farms right now?+
Inventory is thin — just two active listings — but the pace is healthy, with a median 22.5 days on market. Sellers are averaging 96% of asking price, so there's modest negotiating room but not a lot of slack for lowball offers.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes like?+
The median HOA runs about $225 per month, which is typical for a gated community of this type. Property taxes come in around $7,125 per year at current values, so factor both into your monthly carrying cost when comparing to neighborhoods like Arlington Park.
