Hudson Bayou is one of the quieter waterfront pockets just south of downtown Sarasota, where tree-lined streets wind toward the namesake bayou and the edge of the bay. It's walkable to the energy of the Rosemary District, a short hop to the beaches of Lido Key, and close enough to Arlington Park to fold its green space and pool into your weekly routine. Families here draw on Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High, while the mix of older cottages and newer custom homes keeps the streetscape interesting.
This is a high-end market, and the numbers show it: 15 active listings with a median list price of $2,425,000 and an average of $956 per square foot. Buyers have real choice across the spectrum — from the low $300,000s to just under $5.9 million — with 10 of the active homes offering a pool and three sitting on the water. Homes move at a measured pace, a median of 50 days on market, and over the past year 25 sales closed at a median of $1,400,000, with sellers collecting about 95% of asking. If you're shopping Sarasota more broadly, it's worth comparing against other Sarasota homes for sale before you commit.

Hudson Bayou FAQs
Is Hudson Bayou a good place to live?+

Is Hudson Bayou expensive?+
Yes — it's one of Sarasota's higher-end neighborhoods, with a median list price of $2,425,000 and an average of $956 per square foot. That said, the range runs from $329,000 to $5,885,000, so there's a wider spread of entry points than the median suggests.

How is the market right now?+
It's steady rather than frantic — homes take a median of 50 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 95% of their asking price. With 15 active listings against 25 sales last year, inventory is tight but buyers still have room to negotiate.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
