Burns Square sits at the edge of downtown Sarasota, where historic storefronts, sidewalk cafes, and gallery spaces put the arts-and-dining district within a short stroll. It's a compact, walkable pocket that trades the sprawl of gated subdivisions for character and proximity — a fit for buyers who'd rather leave the car parked. Nearby you'll find the beaches of Lido Key, the leafy streets of Arlington Park, and the redeveloped Rosemary District just north.
This is a small, high-end market, so patience matters. With only three active listings and a median list price of $1,385,000, inventory is thin and homes sit — the median time on market is 176 days. Over the past year seven homes sold at a median of $1,187,250, and sellers collected about 94% of asking, so there's usually room to negotiate if you find the right fit among Sarasota homes for sale.

Burns Square FAQs
Is Burns Square a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you value walkability and proximity to Sarasota's downtown arts, dining, and gallery scene over a large lot or gated community. The beaches of Lido Key are a short drive, and the neighborhood's compact scale keeps everything close. It suits buyers who want an urban, low-car lifestyle rather than a traditional suburban setup.
Is Burns Square expensive?+
Yes — it's a premium downtown-adjacent market. The median list price is $1,385,000 and active listings run from $875,000 to $1,499,000, with prices averaging about $583 per square foot. Two of the three active homes are priced above $1 million.
What do homes cost in Burns Square?+
Active listings currently sit at a median of $1,385,000 for roughly 2,300 square feet, or about $583 per square foot. Over the past 12 months, seven homes sold at a median of $1,187,250, so recent sale prices have landed below current asking levels.
How is the market right now?+
It's slow and thin, which favors prepared buyers. Only three homes are active, they take a median of 176 days to sell, and sellers are averaging about 94% of their asking price. That combination points to real negotiating room in the Rosemary District area and around downtown.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect meaningful carrying costs at this price point — the median HOA runs about $1,970 per month and median property tax is roughly $9,797 per year. Fees this size typically reflect condo or attached-home structures, so confirm exactly what's covered before you commit.
