Gulf Manor is a compact residential pocket in Venice, the kind of small Sarasota County neighborhood where a handful of well-kept homes trade hands quietly rather than in a rush. It sits within easy reach of Venice's beaches and its walkable island downtown, and it feeds into the Venice Elementary School, Venice Middle School, and Venice Senior High School attendance zones. If you want the coastal-Venice lifestyle without a large HOA-run community, this is that scale.
For a buyer today the market here is thin and priced at a premium — just two active listings, both above $1M, with a median list price of $1,512,500 and an average of $606 per square foot. Homes take their time, with a median 98.5 days on market, so there's room to negotiate rather than bid against a crowd. If Gulf Manor's inventory is too tight, it's worth comparing nearby options like West Villages, Sarasota National, and the wider pool of Venice homes for sale.

Straight answers
Gulf Manor FAQs
Is Gulf Manor a good place to live?+
It's a small, quiet residential pocket of Venice with quick access to the Gulf beaches and downtown, and it's zoned for Venice Elementary School along with the local middle and high schools. The scale is intimate — just a couple of homes on the market at any time — which suits buyers who want coastal Venice living without a large managed community.
Is Gulf Manor expensive?+
Yes, it sits at the upper end of the Venice market, with a median list price of $1,512,500 and both current listings priced above $1M. At an average of $606 per square foot, it's a premium neighborhood; if that's a stretch, West Villages offers more range.
What do homes cost in Gulf Manor?+
Active listings run from $1,500,000 to $1,525,000, with a median home size around 2,511 square feet. Over the past year one home sold at a median price of $975,000, so recent sold values have come in below current list prices — a gap worth factoring into any offer.
How is the market in Gulf Manor?+
It's slow and low-volume: two active listings, one sale in the last 12 months, and a median 98.5 days on market. Sellers here average 98% of asking, so pricing is firm but there's genuine time and space to negotiate rather than compete.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA is just $17 a month, which is minimal compared with Venice's larger gated communities. Property taxes are the bigger line item at a median of $15,606 a year, reflecting the neighborhood's higher home values.
