Lockwood Meadows is the kind of established Sarasota neighborhood where single-family homes sit on real lots and everyday life stays uncomplicated. You're inside the city with quick access to the water, the culture of the Rosemary District, and the beach days that draw people to Lido Key — without the price tag those addresses carry. It's a fit for buyers who want a foothold in Sarasota with room to breathe.
The market here is tight and moves at a steady pace. There's just one active listing at $420,000, and over the past year only seven homes sold, at a median of $395,000 with sellers collecting 100% of asking on average. Homes take a median of 42 days to sell, so this isn't a frantic bidding-war market — it's one where well-priced homes trade cleanly and inventory is genuinely scarce.
Lockwood Meadows is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Straight answers
Lockwood Meadows FAQs
Is Lockwood Meadows a good place to live?+
It's a solid choice for buyers who want an established, low-key Sarasota neighborhood with easy access to the coast and downtown. Homes are assigned to Emma E. Booker Elementary, Booker Middle, and Booker High School, and you're a short drive from the beaches of Lido Key. The steady sales history and full-asking prices point to a neighborhood people are happy to stay in.
Is Lockwood Meadows expensive?+
Not by Sarasota standards — the median sold price over the past year was $395,000, well below the city's waterfront and downtown addresses. The single active listing is priced at $420,000, and the average works out to about $249 per square foot. It's one of the more accessible ways into the Sarasota market.
What do homes cost in Lockwood Meadows?+
Expect single-family homes in the low-$400s, with the current listing at $420,000 and recent sales landing around a $395,000 median. At roughly $249 per square foot and a median home size near 1,688 square feet, you get a genuine house rather than a condo footprint. Compared with pricier neighborhoods like Arlington Park, it's real value.
How is the market in Lockwood Meadows?+
It's tight and balanced. Just seven homes sold in the last 12 months and only one is active now, with a median of 42 days on market and sellers averaging 100% of asking. Low inventory means when a home does list, prepared buyers should act.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Property taxes are modest, with a median around $1,282 per year. HOA data isn't reported for the neighborhood, which is typical of an established area of individually owned homes. That keeps your monthly carrying costs simpler than in many newer Sarasota communities near Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores.
