Southpointe Shores is a small, water-oriented pocket of Sarasota where deep-water canals and boat access shape daily life. Homes here run large and private, and nearly every active listing pairs a pool with waterfront frontage — this is a place for buyers who want direct access to the bay and room to spread out. It sits within easy reach of the beaches at Lido Key and the walkable dining scene of the Rosemary District.
The market is thin and priced at the top of Sarasota's spectrum. With just 4 active listings and a median list price around $3,047,000, this is a low-volume, high-value corner where homes take time to find the right buyer — the median is currently 114.5 days on market. Sellers here have been settling around 90% of asking, so there's real room to negotiate if you come prepared.
Southpointe Shores is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Southpointe Shores FAQs
Is Southpointe Shores a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want a quiet, water-oriented neighborhood with large homes and boat access. Assigned schools include Gulf Gate Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High School, and you're minutes from the beaches at Lido Key. This is a low-density, upscale pocket rather than a busy, amenity-packed community.
Is Southpointe Shores expensive?+
Yes — it's firmly at the luxury end of the Sarasota market, with a median list price near $3,047,000 and an average of about $735 per square foot. Three of the four active listings are priced above $1 million, though the range does open at $800,000. Buyers looking at nearby options can compare against Sarasota homes for sale more broadly.
What do homes cost in Southpointe Shores?+
Active listings range from $800,000 to $3,499,000, with a median around $3,047,000 and typical homes around 3,502 square feet. Over the past year, three homes sold at a median price of $2,250,000, so recent closings have landed below current asking levels.
How is the market right now?+
It's slow-moving and negotiable, which is common for a small luxury waterfront niche. The median days on market is 114.5, and sellers are averaging about 90% of their asking price. With only 4 active listings and 3 sales in the last 12 months, inventory and turnover are both very limited.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA costs here are minimal, with a median of about $25 per month. Property taxes run higher given the home values, with a median around $14,564 per year — something to factor into your monthly carrying costs at this price point.
