Homecroft sits in the heart of Sarasota, within easy reach of the arts and dining of the Rosemary District and the Gulf beaches out at Lido Key. It's a neighborhood of settled streets and larger homes, close to the bayfront character of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores and served by Alta Vista Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High.
The market here is thin and patient — currently just one active listing at $1,199,000, priced around $349 per square foot on a generous 3,432-square-foot home. Over the past year six homes changed hands at a median sold price of $796,500, with sellers collecting about 97% of asking, so serious buyers can negotiate but shouldn't expect a fire sale. If nothing in Homecroft fits, it's worth widening the search across Sarasota homes for sale.

Straight answers
Homecroft FAQs
Is Homecroft a good place to live?+
It's a centrally located Sarasota neighborhood with easy access to downtown's Five Points, the Rosemary District, and Gulf beaches at Lido Key. Homes are larger and established, and the area is assigned to Alta Vista Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High School. That mix of location and space suits buyers who want proximity without the density of downtown living.
Is Homecroft expensive?+
It runs above the Sarasota average, with the lone active listing at $1,199,000 and closed sales over the past year hitting a median of $796,500. At roughly $349 per square foot, you're paying for size and location. Broadening to other Sarasota homes for sale can turn up more entry points if the budget is tighter.
What do homes cost in Homecroft?+
The single active listing is priced at $1,199,000 for about 3,432 square feet, or roughly $349 per square foot. Actual closings tell a more grounded story — six sales over the last 12 months came in at a median of $796,500, so recent buyers paid well below the current asking price.
How is the market in Homecroft?+
It's a low-volume, slow-moving market — just one home is active, and the median time on market is around 716 days. Only six homes sold in the past year, with sellers averaging 97% of asking, which points to patient sellers and negotiating room for the right buyer.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no reported HOA in Homecroft, which keeps carrying costs simpler than in many planned communities. Property taxes run a median of about $10,120 per year, in line with the neighborhood's higher home values. Always confirm the exact tax figure on any specific property before you write an offer.
