Developed primarily from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, Quail Run offers traditional detached homes, attached garages, mature landscaping, and a convenient location near University Town Center, Palm Aire, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
Homes in Quail Run generally include three- and four-bedroom floor plans, with many residences offering private swimming pools, screened lanais, pond or preserve views, and established landscaping.

Quail Run Homes
Quail Run consists of fee-simple single-family homes developed over several phases beginning in the late 1980s. Residences vary in size and floor plan, with many homes offering approximately 1,400 to more than 2,700 square feet of living space.
Depending on the property, buyers may find three or four bedrooms, two or more bathrooms, attached garages, vaulted ceilings, split-bedroom layouts, screened lanais, private swimming pools, updated kitchens and bathrooms, and flexible spaces for home offices or additional living areas.
Because Quail Run homes were built over more than a decade, individual properties vary in age and level of renovation. Buyers should compare roofing, HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical components, windows, hurricane protection, pools, appliances, and other home-specific improvements.
Private Pools, Ponds & Greenbelt Lots
Quail Run does not have a large community amenity center, but individual homes may offer a variety of private outdoor features.
Some residences include private swimming pools and screened lanais, while select homes back to ponds, preserves, greenbelt areas, or other open spaces. These features vary by property and should be verified for each available listing.
Mature landscaping and established residential streets contribute to the neighborhood’s traditional suburban character.
Low HOA Fees & No CDD
Quail Run has a mandatory homeowners association, but current property information generally shows relatively modest annual dues compared with many newer gated and master-planned communities.
The community does not have a CDD, which means homeowners are not responsible for a separate Community Development District assessment through their property taxes.
HOA fees, rules, architectural requirements, maintenance responsibilities, and other association policies can change, so buyers should review current documents before purchasing.
Pet & Rental Considerations
Pets are permitted in Quail Run subject to current homeowners association restrictions. Buyers with pets should verify any rules regarding number, size, breed, registration, fencing, or other requirements.
Rentals are also subject to association rules. Current property information indicates that minimum lease periods and other rental restrictions may apply, making Quail Run better suited to longer-term occupancy than frequent short-term leasing.
Buyers purchasing with rental plans should review the current HOA documents for lease duration, application procedures, ownership requirements, approval rules, and any limits on the number of rented homes.
