White Sands Village

It's a good fit if you want compact, low-maintenance coastal living close to Sarasota's beaches and the Gulf. The homes are small — a median of about 797 square feet — so it suits singles, couples, and seasonal buyers more than large households. You're also a short trip from the dining and culture of the Rosemary District.

By Sarasota barrier-island standards it's relatively accessible, with a median list price of $349,000 and current listings ranging from $299,000 to $515,000. The average price per square foot runs about $441, which reflects the coastal location and small home footprints. There are no $1M-plus listings on the market right now.

Active listings sit at a median of $349,000, while homes that actually sold over the last 12 months closed at a median of $448,000. Only four homes traded in that window, so prices can swing with the specific unit — waterfront homes command the premium end of the range. If inventory is limited, comparing nearby Arlington Park can give useful context.

It's a small, steady market — just five active listings, with homes going under contract in a median of 34 days. Sellers have been getting roughly 96% of their asking price, so there's modest room to negotiate without expecting deep discounts. Low inventory means the right listing can move quickly.

Plan on a median HOA of about $958 per month, which is typical for a condo community where the association covers shared exterior and grounds costs. Median property taxes run around $3,678 per year. Always confirm the exact figures for any specific unit, since they vary by size and assessed value.
