Dixie Heights is a small, centrally located pocket of Sarasota where modest single-story homes sit within an easy reach of the coast and downtown.

For buyers who want to be near the action without paying waterfront prices, this is a practical spot.

Dixie Heights FAQs
Is Dixie Heights a good place to live?+
It's a good fit if you value being central over having a large lot or waterfront. You're close to downtown Sarasota, the beaches of Lido Key, and everyday conveniences, in a neighborhood of small, easy-to-maintain homes. Assigned schools include Wilkinson Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High.
Is Dixie Heights expensive?+
No — it's one of the more affordable central Sarasota neighborhoods. The median sold price over the past year was $285,000, and the single active listing is $299,000, which is well below what you'd pay closer to the water. For comparison, browse Sarasota homes for sale across the wider market.
What do homes cost in Dixie Heights?+
The one home currently listed is priced at $299,000, and recent sales landed at a median of $285,000. At an average of $331 per square foot on a median home size of 904 square feet, you're generally buying a compact single-story house rather than a large property.
How is the market in Dixie Heights?+
It's small and quick. Only three homes sold in the last 12 months, they moved in a median of 8 days, and sellers averaged 95% of their asking price. With just one active listing, inventory is thin, so buyers should be prepared to act fast when a home comes up.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no HOA data on record for these homes, which is common for an older neighborhood of individual single-family houses. Median property tax is about $2,912 per year, a reasonable figure that keeps your overall monthly cost manageable at this price point.
