Long Meadow sits in the heart of Sarasota County, close enough to the city's coastal draws that you can trade a leafy residential street for the Gulf in minutes. It shares the map with well-known Sarasota neighborhoods like Lido Key, Arlington Park, and the walkable Rosemary District, which gives you the best of both worlds: a calm home base and a short hop to restaurants, beaches, and downtown culture. Families here are zoned for Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, high-end market. There's just one active listing at $1,550,000, and it moves fast — the median days on market is a single day. Over the last 12 months only five homes changed hands, at a median sold price of $400,000, so pricing spans a wide range depending on the property. If you're weighing options, it's worth watching the broader Sarasota homes for sale alongside this pocket.
Long Meadow is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Long Meadow FAQs
Is Long Meadow a good place to live?+
It's a quiet residential pocket with quick access to Sarasota's coast and downtown, plus assignment to Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High. You're close to established neighborhoods like Arlington Park and the dining of the Rosemary District, which makes daily life easy. The small size keeps it calm and low-traffic.
Is Long Meadow expensive?+
It skews to the higher end right now, with the one active listing priced at $1,550,000 and averaging about $477 per square foot. That said, sold data over the past year tells a broader story, with a median sold price of $400,000. The gap reflects how few homes trade here, so pricing varies widely by property.

How is the market in Long Meadow?+
It's a low-volume, fast-moving market — just five sales in the past year and a single active listing with a median of one day on market. Sellers have been getting about 93% of asking on average. When something comes up, it doesn't sit long, so be ready to act.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no HOA figure reported for Long Meadow, so factor that as neighborhood-dependent. Property taxes run higher here, with a median of about $13,058 per year, in line with the area's higher price points. Median rent sits around $1,200 per month for context.
