Harbor Acres is one of Sarasota's most established estate neighborhoods, a quiet enclave of large lots and custom homes just south of downtown along the bay. Living here means the best of both worlds: the calm of a residential pocket where median homes run over 4,200 square feet, with the shops and restaurants of the Rosemary District and the beaches of Lido Key both a short drive away. Families are assigned to Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High, and neighbors like Arlington Park round out this walkable stretch of the city.
This is a high-end market and the numbers reflect it: 9 active listings carry a median list price of $5,375,000, with waterfront and new-construction estates pushing the top of the range near $11 million. Homes here take time to sell — the median is 181 days on market — and over the past year 13 homes closed at a median of $1,750,000, with sellers netting about 93% of asking. If you're shopping the broader Sarasota homes for sale, Harbor Acres sits firmly at the luxury end.
