Shore Acres

It's a quiet, water-oriented neighborhood at the north end of Anna Maria Island, blending canal-front streets in communities like Lake La Vista with easy access to Gulf sand. Eight of the 12 current homes have pools and four are waterfront, so outdoor and boating life is central. It's residential and low-rise rather than a busy resort strip.

Yes — it's one of Anna Maria's premium pockets, with every active listing priced above $1 million and a median list of $2.97 million. Average price per square foot runs about $1,470, reflecting both the location and the waterfront inventory. Buyers here should expect a genuinely high-end market.

Active listings range from $1,195,000 to $5,150,000 with a median around $2.97 million on a typical home of about 2,252 square feet. Over the past year, 13 homes actually sold at a median of $1,675,000, so closing prices sit well below current asking. That gap is worth keeping in mind when you make an offer on Anna Maria homes for sale.

It's a slower, negotiable market: homes take a median of 163.5 days to sell, and sellers are getting about 92% of their asking price. With 12 active listings against 13 sales in the past year, there's supply and time to be selective. Prepared buyers have real leverage here.

HOA data isn't consistently reported for this neighborhood, so fees vary by community and should be confirmed listing by listing. Property taxes, however, run high given the price point — the median is roughly $25,866 per year. Budget for taxes as a meaningful part of your carrying cost on any waterfront purchase.
