Hudson Bayou sits just south of downtown, where a slow tidal creek winds past mature oaks and a mix of restored bungalows and newer custom builds. It's a walk-or-bike neighborhood — close enough to the shops and restaurants of the Rosemary District and the beaches of Lido Key that you rarely need to plan far ahead. The pace here is quieter than the condo towers to the north, with pool homes and shaded streets that draw buyers who want the water without leaving the city.
The market is firmly at the high end: with 12 active listings and a median list price of $2,147,500, this is a place where nine of the current homes are priced above $1M. Buyers should expect to move deliberately — homes sit a median of 114.5 days before selling, and over the past year 22 homes closed at a median of $1,237,500. If the numbers here stretch your budget, nearby Arlington Park and other Sarasota homes for sale offer a wider price range.

Hudson Bayou FAQs
Is Hudson Bayou a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood within reach of downtown Sarasota and the Gulf. You're minutes from the dining and galleries of the Rosemary District, and homes feed Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High School. The pace is residential and low-key despite the central location.

What do homes cost in Hudson Bayou?+
The median home runs about 2,893 sqft at roughly $860 per square foot. Over the past 12 months, 22 homes sold at a median price of $1,237,500, so closed prices tend to land below the current median list price. Broader Sarasota homes for sale span a wider price band if you're comparing.
