Ridgewood Estates sits in the heart of Sarasota, a neighborhood of mid-century single-story homes on generous lots, close enough to reach Arlington Park and the downtown energy of Five Points without paying for the address. You're a short drive from the Gulf beaches of Lido Key and the bayfront character of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores, which makes this one of the more practical footprints for someone who wants Sarasota life at a real-world price.
Right now the market here is tight and moving. There are just 8 active listings with a median list price of $354,450, and homes are going under contract in about 24 days — meaning if you find the right one, you can't sit on it. Over the last year 53 homes sold at a median of $355,000, with sellers collecting 98% of asking, so buyers should come prepared rather than expecting deep discounts.
