It's one of North Port's pricier pockets — the median list price is $1,299,000 and six of the nine active listings sit above $1M. That said, closed sales tell a more grounded story, with 25 homes selling over the past year at a median of $646,000.

Active asking prices range from $650,000 to $4,900,000, averaging about $634 per square foot against a median home size of 2,368 sqft.
