In the Sarasota downtown area, West of The Trail is the earliest developed area in Sarasota, therefore, most homes tend to be built in the 50’s through 1970’s. However, due to the outstanding downtown Sarasota location, the older West of Trail homes are slowly being torn down and replaced by modern new construction homes of all styles. Additionally, many buyers like the fact that they are free to make their own design choices, as there are fewer communities with HOA deed restrictions in the downtown area west of the trail.
It’s such a popular area, that finding a West Of Trail “deal” is not common. Even homes that need renovation are selling for top prices. Real Estate is all about location, so don’t expect cheap homes to be found in this area. Location wise, it really doesn’t get much better than this.
