Is the Robert Willis Elementary zone a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit for families who want suburban space near Sarasota, with 159 of the 248 active listings in gated communities and 136 offering pools. The area balances quiet residential streets with reasonable commutes — about 56 minutes to downtown Tampa and 66 to the airport.

Is it expensive to buy here?+
It's a move-up market: the median list price is $744,000 and the average is $367 per square foot on a median home size of 2,261 square feet. That said, the range is wide, from $215,000 at entry to $6.5 million at the top, so there are options at multiple budgets. You can filter by price on the live map to see what fits.

Over the last 12 months, 745 homes sold at a median price of $745,000, closely tracking the current $744,000 median list price. Waterfront and larger estates push higher, with 83 active listings above $1 million. Smaller or older homes anchor the lower end near $215,000.
How is the market right now?+
It's balanced and steady rather than frantic — the median home spends 55 days on market, and sellers are getting about 96% of asking price on average.

What should I expect for HOA fees and property taxes?+
Given how many properties sit in gated communities, HOA dues are a real factor — the median runs about $468 per month. Median property taxes come in around $8,000 per year. If you're weighing a rental instead, the median rent in the zone is $3,000 per month.
