University Village
An easygoing corner of Sarasota with room to breathe
University Village sits on the east side of Sarasota, close enough to the Braden River school corridor to feel residential and settled, but within reach of the beaches and downtown culture the region is known for. It's a place that trades the flash of coastal addresses like Lido Key for a quieter, more practical everyday rhythm. Buyers who want to be near the action without living in the middle of it tend to gravitate here.
The market reality is straightforward: this is a small, low-inventory pocket. There are currently no active listings, and over the past 12 months just 13 homes changed hands at a median sold price of $385,000. When something does come up, it moves — sellers here have been getting about 96% of asking, so serious buyers should be ready to act. If nothing's available, it's worth widening the search to nearby areas like Sky Ranch or the more urban Rosemary District.

What do homes cost in University Village?+
The median sold price across the last 12 months was $385,000, based on 13 closed sales. With no active listings at the moment, pricing is best judged from recent sales rather than what's currently on the market.
How is the market in University Village?+

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
