Forest Lakes Village is a quiet, low-key pocket of Sarasota where prices stay grounded and the pace feels residential rather than resort. You're close enough to reach the beaches at Lido Key and the galleries and cafes around the Rosemary District, yet the neighborhood itself trades flash for practicality — modest, well-scaled homes on tree-lined streets assigned to Wilkinson Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High. For buyers weighing nearby options like Arlington Park or the coastal charm of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores, this is the value end of the map.
The market here is small and slow-moving, which cuts both ways. With just two active listings and a median list price of $176,500, inventory is tight and homes sit — the median days on market runs a lengthy 258 days. That gives patient buyers real negotiating room, since sellers over the past year have averaged 93% of their asking price.
