Harbor Acres sits just south of downtown, a quiet enclave of large-lot estate homes where the water is never far away. This is one of Sarasota's most established luxury addresses — close enough to walk toward Five Points and the shops of downtown, yet insulated from the bustle by wide streets and generous setbacks. The barrier-island beaches of Lido Key are a short drive over the bridge, and the neighborhood feeds into well-regarded Southside Elementary and Sarasota High.
For a buyer today, this is a small, high-end market with real breathing room. There are just 8 active listings with a median list price of $4,886,250, and homes are taking their time — a median of 192.5 days on market means sellers are patient and buyers can be deliberate. Over the past year 12 homes sold at a median of $1,682,500, with sellers netting about 92% of asking, so there's room to negotiate against the right listing. Compared to the broader pool of Sarasota homes for sale, Harbor Acres is firmly in estate territory.
Harbor Acres is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
