Harbor Acres sits just south of downtown Sarasota, a low-key enclave of large single-family homes where deep lots and mature landscaping do the talking. It's the kind of address where a short drive puts you at Lido Key beaches or the restaurants and galleries of Five Points and the Rosemary District, yet the streets themselves stay quiet. Buyers here are looking for space, proximity to the water, and a foothold in one of the most established corners of the city.
The market reality is firmly luxury. Ten homes are active with a median list price of $5,435,000 and prices running from $1,870,000 up to $10,995,000, so expect to compete at the top of the Sarasota market. Homes take time to move — a median of 137.5 days — and over the past year sellers averaged 93% of asking, which leaves genuine room to negotiate on the right property.
Harbor Acres is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
