Laurel Estates sits within easy reach of everything that makes Sarasota appealing — you can be at the arts, dining, and Gulf beaches without living in the middle of the noise. Homes here run large and comfortable, with pools and gated privacy common, and the neighborhood draws buyers who want room to spread out. It's the kind of place where the drive to Arlington Park or the shops and restaurants of the Rosemary District is short, and the beaches of Lido Key are an easy afternoon.
This is a firmly upper-end market. All four active listings are priced above $1 million, with a median list of $1,550,000 and a median home size near 3,737 square feet. Over the past year 23 homes sold at a median of $1,300,000, and sellers averaged 93% of asking — meaning buyers still have real negotiating room here.
Laurel Estates is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
