The Settlement sits in the everyday heart of Sarasota, close enough to the coast and downtown that you feel connected without the resort-town price tag of the barrier islands. It's the kind of neighborhood where a pool home on a normal-sized lot still makes sense, and where you can be in Arlington Park or the Rosemary District in minutes. If your weekends drift toward the water, the beaches of Lido Key and the bayfront calm of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores are both an easy reach.
Inventory here is genuinely thin — there's currently a single active listing at $598,000, so buyers should be ready to move when the right home appears. Over the past year just three homes sold, at a median of $525,000, with sellers landing about 94% of asking. That combination of low supply and measured pricing means you'll want a clear plan and a fast, informed offer; browse the wider pool of Sarasota homes for sale to keep your options open.

How is the market right now?+

The median HOA here is about $39 per month, which is light and keeps monthly costs down. Median property taxes run around $4,635 per year. Together they make the overall cost of ownership fairly predictable for a Sarasota neighborhood.
