Everyone in Sarasota knows that the subdivisions located “West of the Trail” denote a certain real estate flair. This part of town begins on The Landings and runs all the way north to the Rosemary District; the eastern boundary is the Tamiami Trail, and the main waterfront spot run along Bayfront, Bay View, and Roberts Bay. Even within the West of the Trail area, some neighborhoods are considered to have more character than others, and this is the case with Red Rock Sarasota.
Driving through Red Rock, which is arranged into four sections, is like a lesson on the history of residential design in Sarasota. This is a neighborhood where you can still find small bungalows next to larger Cape Cod homes originally built by families who moved down here from New England in the 1920s. Many of the properties are Florida ranches built for veterans returning from World War II, but you can also find Mediterranean revival homes as well as Modernist with views of Roberts Bay.
Properties at Red Rock Sarasota range in size from approximately 2,900 to over 7,000 square feet, with prices spanning from around $570,000 to $4.6 million. Notable listings in mid 2025 include a waterfront residence priced at $2.65 million, featuring three bedrooms and a private boardwalk extending into the bay, offering serene views of the surrounding islands. Another remarkable property is a custom-built home listed at $1.35 million, boasting four bedrooms, a saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and a master suite with a private balcony overlooking the pool area.

The leafy streets and sidewalks of Red Rock are adorned with mature tree canopies, and the overall feeling is very peaceful. In this gorgeous neighborhood, children can safely ride their bikes to Red Rock Park, which offers a playground, green spaces, picnic spots, and small gazebos for barbecue parties. Just west of Camino Real and Hansen Street you will find a Best Buy plus a Barnes & Noble bookstore; a large Publix is just two blocks north on Bay Road. Driving to the beach at Siesta Key will take you about seven minutes.
