The Settlement is a compact Sarasota County neighborhood where homes run a manageable size—the median is around 1,503 square feet—and the pace feels residential rather than resort. You're close enough to enjoy the wider Sarasota draws, from the beaches of Lido Key to the galleries and dining of the Rosemary District, while keeping a quieter home base. Zoned schools include Fruitville Elementary, McIntosh Middle, and Sarasota High.
This is a thin market, so timing matters. There's currently just one active listing at $615,000, and only three homes sold over the past year at a median of $525,000. Well-priced homes move—median days on market sits at 27—so buyers who know what they want should be ready to act, and can look to nearby areas like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores if inventory here is tight.
The Settlement is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
