Home buyers in Sarasota County have been enjoying the benefit of intense competition between established developers. Thanks to high quality of life and a growing economy, national home builders such as D.R. Horton are seeking to establish themselves as premier developers in the region, and this explains the new Bay Landing neighborhood in the Fruitville district just east of intersection between I-75 and Fruitville Road.
Bay Landing in Sarasota is a community that can appeal to a diversity of home buyers. Single professionals and small families can take advantage of elegant townhouses located in the southern section of the neighborhood. Single-family homes range from three bedrooms and two bathrooms to larger properties featuring D.R. Horton’s Multi-Gen model, which can be configured in four and five bedroom floor plans arranged in a style that essentially puts a small home within a larger structure; this is for the benefit of in-laws, elderly parents, and extended families.
You will definitely like the curb appeal at Bay Landing. All homes are inspired by the Mediterranean revival style, and they have interesting features such as natural stone cladding exteriors, columns, decorative foyers, and covered lanais large enough to accommodate an outside dining space.
By virtue of being in proximity to Lakewood Ranch, D.R. Horton has emulated the village style complete with a swimming pool, a clubhouse, fitness center, dog park, and playground. This is a very quiet and scenic section of Sarasota County; the neighborhoods to the west include equestrian communities and retirement homes. There is another advantage to living close to Lakewood Ranch: Waterside Place, which is under construction, will soon be open with an island park, boardwalk, shops, restaurants, cafes, yoga studios, and family attractions.
With prices as low as $317K for three-bedroom townhouses, Bay Landing is one of the best real estate deals in Sarasota for 2026. At the Fruitville shopping district near I-75, you will find various grocery stores along with a Sam’s Club, a Lowe’s Home Improvement store, and various restaurants. You can choose between the beaches of Manatee or Sarasota County, which are close enough to visit every weekend. Latest pricing at Bay Landing Sarasota be found below if there is inventory.
