Sherwood Forest is the kind of Sarasota neighborhood that rewards people who want mature trees, generous lots, and a short drive to the water. It sits close enough to the energy of the Rosemary District and the beaches of Lido Key that you get the best of downtown and coastal life without paying barrier-island prices. Nearby pockets like Arlington Park and Sky Ranch share that same mix of quiet streets and easy access.
For a buyer today, this is a tight, fast-moving market. There's just one active listing right now at $789,000, and homes that sold over the past year moved at a median of 5 days with sellers collecting about 95% of asking. If you want in, come pre-approved and ready to act — and keep an eye on the broader Sarasota homes for sale while inventory here stays thin.

Sherwood Forest FAQs
Is Sherwood Forest a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want an established, centrally located Sarasota neighborhood with mature streets and room to spread out. You're close to downtown, the Rosemary District, and the beaches at Lido Key, and homes average a comfortable 2,522 square feet. It's a small community, so turnover is limited and demand stays steady.
Is Sherwood Forest expensive?+
It sits in Sarasota's mid-to-upper range rather than luxury territory. The single active listing is priced at $789,000, while homes that actually closed over the past year did so at a median of $529,500. That gap tells you pricing depends heavily on the specific home, its size, and its condition.
What do homes cost in Sherwood Forest?+
Right now there's one home on the market at $789,000, and the average price works out to about $313 per square foot. Over the last 12 months, nine homes sold at a median of $529,500. For current options across the area, it's worth watching the full list of Sarasota homes for sale.
How is the market in Sherwood Forest?+
It's fast and competitive for its size. The nine sales over the past year moved at a median of just 5 days on market, with sellers netting about 95% of their asking price. With only one active listing, serious buyers should be ready to move quickly when something comes up.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $50 a month, which is low and reflects a neighborhood without heavy shared amenities. Median property taxes come in around $5,663 a year. Both are reasonable for a centrally located Sarasota neighborhood with homes in this size range.
