Forty Three West is a compact residential pocket in Sarasota County, the kind of low-key neighborhood where the homes are modest in size and the pace is quiet. It sits within easy reach of the wider Sarasota scene — beach days on Lido Key, the galleries and bayfront of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores, and the walkable dining of the Rosemary District are all part of the surrounding fabric.
For buyers, this is a value-oriented corner of the market. Homes here run smaller — the median is about 1,064 square feet — and the current active listings are priced from $265,000 to $287,500, well below what you'll pay in flashier parts of town like Arlington Park. With only two homes on the market and a median 130 days on market, it's a thin, patient market where a prepared buyer has room to negotiate.
Forty Three West is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
