Contrary to what you may have heard, Sarasota is not an overdeveloped housing market. Acclaimed national home builder D.R. Horton is currently developing Sarasota Living, a new subdivision just east of the Tamiami Trail and less than two miles south of Downtown Sarasota.

If you believe that location, location, location is the ultimate real estate tenet, Sarasota Living would be perfect for you. This leafy subdivision is near La Linda Terrace and across the Tamiami Trail from Southside Village, City Hall Square, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and the Westfield Southgate shopping mall.

D.R. Horton is building luxury properties on spacious lots located on quiet streets with ample sidewalks and mature trees. Sarasota Living is a community with a lot of character; for this reason, the developer has chosen its Emerald Homes catalog of elegant floor plans.

The coziest floor plan offered by Emerald Homes are the Lantana, Azalea and Belfort, which all feature four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a guest restroom. The most spacious floor plans are the Holden and Embry, which feature up to five bedrooms and 3,129 square feet of living space. The architectural style varies from the classic Sarasota home to updated versions of the Mediterranean revival design. All homes feature plenty of extras such as decorative entryways with elaborate foyers, studio space, covered lanais, gourmet kitchens, and more.

With regard to suburban comforts, Sarasota Living neighbors are close to everything. If you enjoy Peruvian food, you can walk down to INKANTO; there’s also Chili’s for more casual and traditional dining. Driving to the beaches of Siesta Key takes less than 15 minutes.

As of March 2017, Sarasota Living is still under construction. A couple of two-story Embry floor plans with five bedrooms have been completed and priced under $550K; these are very reasonable prices when considering the prime location and the prestige of Emerald Homes. These introductory prices are bound to appreciate very quickly once the pace of construction picks up. If you believe that all property owners are investors at heart, you owe it to yourself to consider Sarasota Living.
