Fairway Woods is the kind of established Sarasota neighborhood that trades on word of mouth more than yard signs — a tucked-away residential pocket where turnover is low and residents tend to stay. It sits within reach of Sarasota's better-known corners, from the beaches of Lido Key to the walkable Rosemary District, while keeping its own low-key, settled feel. Families here are assigned to well-regarded schools including Riverview High, and the location keeps everyday Sarasota within an easy drive.
For a buyer today, the headline is scarcity: there are currently zero active listings in Fairway Woods, which tells you how tightly held these homes are. Over the last 12 months only four homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $312,000, and sellers took home about 97% of their asking price. If you want in, it pays to watch this market closely — and to keep options open in nearby areas like Arlington Park or Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores while you wait.
Fairway Woods is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Straight answers
Fairway Woods FAQs
Is Fairway Woods a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, established residential neighborhood where homes are held long-term, which is often the best signal a community works for the people in it. The school assignment — Riverview High, Sarasota Middle, and Gulf Gate Elementary — appeals to families, and you're a short drive from beaches, downtown, and shopping. If nothing is available here, similar character shows up in Arlington Park.
Is Fairway Woods expensive?+
Not by Sarasota standards — the median sold price over the past year was $312,000, which sits comfortably below the coastal luxury market. That makes it one of the more attainable ways into this part of Sarasota. There have been no $1M+ sales tracked here recently.
What do homes cost in Fairway Woods?+
The four homes sold in the last 12 months carried a median price of $312,000. With zero active listings right now, pricing on the next home to hit the market will depend heavily on its condition and updates. Buyers should be ready to move quickly when something does list.
How is the market in Fairway Woods?+
It's a low-inventory, steady-demand market: just four sales in a year and no active listings today. Sellers have averaged roughly 97% of their asking price, so there isn't much room for lowball offers. Expect competition when a home becomes available and consider watching nearby Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores as a backup.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have current HOA or property tax figures on file for Fairway Woods given how few homes have traded recently. Florida property taxes generally run around 1% of assessed value, but you'll want exact numbers on any specific home before making an offer. Your agent can pull the tax record and any HOA details once a listing is active.
