Ballentine Manor Estates sits in northern Sarasota, close enough to the water that a handful of homes carry waterfront frontage and pools are the norm rather than the exception. It's a small, low-density neighborhood with easy reach to the beaches at Lido Key and the art-lined streets of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores, plus the walkable energy of the Rosemary District not far south.
For buyers, this is a thin, high-variance market. Only two homes are active right now, listed from $695,000 to $3.2 million, and over the past year just four homes sold at a median of $574,500 — with sellers collecting about 98% of asking. That spread between list and sold prices tells you inventory here is uneven, so patience and a good read on each individual property matter more than any neighborhood average. It's worth pairing your search with the broader pool of Sarasota homes for sale to keep options open.

Straight answers
Ballentine Manor Estates FAQs
Is Ballentine Manor Estates a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, low-turnover neighborhood in northern Sarasota with waterfront and pool homes and quick access to the beaches of Lido Key. Homes are assigned to Bayshore High School and Florine J Abel Elementary, and the area's small scale means it stays calm year-round. If you want more activity nearby, the Rosemary District and downtown are a short drive south.
Is it expensive to buy here?+
It can be, but it depends heavily on the property. The median list price sits at $1,947,500 and asking prices reach $3.2 million, yet the median home actually sold over the past year went for $574,500 — so the entry point is far more approachable than the headline list numbers suggest.
What do homes cost in Ballentine Manor Estates?+
Active listings range from $695,000 to $3.2 million, averaging about $683 per square foot on a median home size of 2,639 square feet. Because inventory is so thin, the two homes currently for sale skew the averages high — the four homes sold in the last 12 months came in at a $574,500 median.
How is the market right now?+
It's a slow, thin market with only two active listings and four sales over the past year. Homes take a median of about 66 days to sell, and sellers are getting roughly 98% of their asking price, which points to realistic pricing rather than bidding wars. You may want to watch Arlington Park and nearby areas for more consistent inventory.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA costs here are negligible — the median runs about $3 a month, so there's effectively no community due to budget for. Property taxes come in around $6,666 a year at the median, and median rent in the area is about $3,000 a month if you're weighing renting against buying.
