Centre Lake is a compact residential pocket in Sarasota County where homes run modest in size — around 1,217 square feet at the median — and the HOA stays light on the wallet. It's the kind of quiet, unassuming neighborhood that appeals to buyers who want a foothold in the Sarasota market without stretching into the seven-figure territory you'll find over on Lido Key. Downtown energy in the Rosemary District and the coastal character of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores are within the same broader Sarasota orbit.
Right now the market here is thin — just one active listing at $339,900 — so buyers need patience and a willingness to move when the right home surfaces. Over the last 12 months seven homes sold at a median of $330,000, with sellers netting about 96% of asking, which tells you pricing has been reasonable and negotiation possible. Days on market run long (325 at the median), a reflection of low inventory rather than a soft neighborhood.
Centre Lake is a community in Sarasota, Florida.
