Discover Homes For Sale In Downtown Sarasota
The Sarasota Downtown spans a number of neighborhoods, including some of the most desirable in the city: those along the waterfront. As a whole, Sarasota’s real estate market comprises properties in every style and shape, at a wide range of price points, which makes this area an incredible one to settle down.
The downtown core is recognized for its exceptional condos with priceless ocean views, as well as its custom-built single-family homes—many of which have renowned architects behind them. Sarasota’s homes are some of the most sought-after properties for their unique beauty.
When it comes to architecture, homes for sale in Downtown Sarasota can be divided into two categories: historic homes and more modern builds. The city is known for its rich history, especially in the realm of design, as it birthed the Sarasota School of Architecture between the 40s and 60s.
Homes built prior to the 1960s are more difficult to find on the real estate market, and aren’t necessarily cheaper than their contemporary counterparts, despite the differences in construction date. In fact, historic homes in Sarasota routinely sell at luxury price points—but the city is considered affluent. In any case, historic homes encompass a range of styles (some of which are incredibly rare, such as Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School and Mid-Century Modern). Some of the major styles are Craftsman, Single-story Ranch and Cottage, and Mediterranean/Spanish Revival. Like historic homes anywhere, these properties typically feature smaller square footage, but sometimes do come with additional—and desirable—acreage.
Properties built after the 1960s go through a number of architectural styles, one of the most popular being the Mediterranean and, in the case of new construction homes, Modern/Contemporary. Newer homes for sale are also, generally, multi-story properties, with significantly larger square footage than the historic houses. Additionally, these homes have typically been updated (read: modernized) if they are older, or come equipped with the newest technologies and features if they are new construction.
With many desirable neighborhoods within Downtown Sarasota, homebuyers have the opportunities to select from a wealth of homes on the market to suit their exact lifestyle. Southgate, for example, features older homes with charm and character and Alta Vista has a great location with schools and other amenities, whilst Harbor Acres has some of the most highly sought-after luxury estates in the area.
