John Ringling sits on Sarasota's bayfront, a compact waterfront enclave that puts you within reach of Lido Key beaches to the west and the energy of the Rosemary District to the east. Every active listing here is a waterfront property, and the neighborhood leans toward smaller, well-located homes and condos built for people who want the water at their doorstep rather than acreage. It's a place for buyers who prioritize proximity — to the bay, to the beach, and to the core of Sarasota.
The market is small and specific, with just 6 active listings and a median list price of $407,500 ranging from $309,000 up to $585,000. Homes here trade at a premium per square foot — about $532 — because you're paying for location and water access on modestly sized properties. With a median 80 days on market and sellers landing roughly 94% of asking, there's room to negotiate if you come prepared, and comparing options in nearby areas like Arlington Park can help you understand the value.

John Ringling FAQs
Is John Ringling a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want waterfront living with real proximity to both beach and downtown — all six active homes are on the water, and Lido Key plus the Rosemary District are close by. The homes tend to be compact, with a median size around 816 square feet, so it suits buyers who value location over square footage.
Is John Ringling expensive?+
It carries a location premium: the average price is about $532 per square foot, which is high because you're buying waterfront on smaller lots and units. That said, the median list price of $407,500 keeps the entry point more accessible than the per-foot figure suggests, thanks to the modest home sizes.
What do homes cost in John Ringling?+
Active listings run from $309,000 to $585,000 with a median list price of $407,500. Over the last 12 months, five homes sold at a median price of $367,000, so recent sales have landed below current asking levels.
How is the market right now?+
It's a small, slower-moving market — 6 active listings with a median 80 days on market, and just 5 sales in the past year. Sellers are averaging about 94% of asking, which signals negotiating room for a patient buyer; browsing nearby Sarasota homes for sale can help you benchmark.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect a median HOA of about $987 per month, which is typical for waterfront condo-style living where the association covers building and grounds. Median property taxes run around $4,780 per year, and if you're weighing renting first, the median rent here is roughly $2,500 per month.
