Anyone who knows a thing or two about Sarasota real estate will agree that West of the Trail neighborhoods are among the most desirable in the market, and this is where you can find the Red Rock subdivision, which is comprised of four sections: Hansen, Red Rock Terrace, Eastbrook and Westbrook.
On the north end, Red Rock in Sarasota runs from Bay Road down to Kenilworth Street; from the east, it runs from South Osprey Avenue all the way to the shores of Roberts Bay. Red Rock is surrounded by spectacular communities such as San Remo, Oyster Bay and Granada, but the real estate opportunities in this subdivision are equally impressive. This is not a tract housing or cookie-cutter neighborhood where all homes look the same; you can find Old Florida coastal cottages right down the road from a waterfront mansion built in the Key West style.
The diversity of real estate in Red Rock translates into a broad range of prices. This is a neighborhood where you can find an original Florida-ranch style home with four bedrooms and a very large lot listed for $650K, but there are also undeveloped lots with views of Roberts Bay that sell for a million dollars. As with other West of the Trail communities, future value appreciation is virtually guaranteed because Red Rock has historically withstood real estate downturn periods. Latest pricing at Red Rock Sarasota Florida will be found below if there is inventory.
The prestige of Red Rock is what makes it a premium Sarasota community, but this is also a neighborhood that exudes charm and character thanks to its mature tree canopies, leafy sidewalks and community park equipped with picnic areas and playground sets. Many children ride their bikes to nearby private academies, and a few residents make the short commute to the hospital district north of Sarasota Heights.
Living in Red Rock means being able to walk down Hansen Street to the Barnes and Noble bookstore and cafe; it also means being able to drive to Paradise Plaza and the Westfield shopping mall in less than five minutes. You can also schedule daily trips to the beach thanks to easy access to the Siesta Drive causeway.
