Tree-lined streets, 1920s bungalows next to modern rebuilds, and a location that puts downtown, Southside Village, and Siesta Key all within a few minutes' drive.
Arlington Park sits east of Tamiami Trail just south of downtown Sarasota — Sarasota Memorial Hospital is directly across the Trail, and Southside Village's restaurants and Morton's Gourmet Market are about 2 miles south. It's a genuinely mixed housing stock: cozy 1920s bungalows and midcentury Florida ranch homes sit alongside newer contemporary and coastal-style rebuilds priced from roughly $1.5M-$2.5M, with a scattering of 55+ condo units starting around $125,000 at the other end of the range.
Recent 12-month data puts the median sale price around $589,000 and average price per square foot around $477, with homes spending roughly 98 days on market on average — slower than a new-construction village, which tracks with a resale-driven, non-HOA market where pricing varies more by lot and renovation level than by a builder's price sheet.
Arlington Park is zoned to Alta Vista Elementary (B+), Brookside Middle School (A-), and Sarasota High School (A-), which also houses the Sarasota Military Academy and a Circus Arts magnet program.
Buyers who want an established, walkable-adjacent neighborhood with real architectural variety — not a single-builder look — and who value being minutes from downtown, the hospital, and Siesta Key over resort-style community amenities.
