University Place Real Estate in Sarasota, FL
University Place homes for sale sit just north of the Sarasota-Manatee county line, a gated community of about 400 homes across 150 acres, built between 2003 and 2005, walkable to UTC Mall on University Parkway. Mediterranean Revival architecture defines the streetscape, sizes running roughly 1,200 to over 3,000 square feet, two to five bedrooms, many with lake or preserve views. A CDD applies here, and one section, Carriage Run, offers true maintenance-free living for an additional fee.
Sixteen ponds, two nature trails, two recreation centers with heated pools, spas, and outdoor kitchens, plus lit tennis courts and playgrounds round out the amenities. Residents span first-time buyers, families, retirees, and seasonal second-home owners. You’re close to I-75, Sarasota-Bradenton Airport, and both downtown Sarasota and Bradenton sit about 15 minutes away.
