The history of Harbor Acres dates back to the development of Sarasota as a vacation haven in the 1920s. This neighborhood, which is arranged on two peninsulas overlooking the Sarasota Bay, was initially envisioned as a place for home buyers to build seasonal waterfront properties; over the decades, the real estate in Harbor Acres became more and more opulent until it became one of the most upscale communities in Florida.
