Burns Square sits at the edge of downtown Sarasota, a compact historic district where a short stroll takes you between shops, restaurants, and the surrounding neighborhoods. It's the kind of place where you can walk to the Rosemary District and the Five Points core, then be at the beaches of Lido Key in minutes. The nearby Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores area rounds out a stretch of Sarasota that trades sprawl for character.
For buyers, this is a small and tightly held market. There are just 5 active listings right now, with a median list price of $1,449,000 — a reflection of the premium on walkable, close-in downtown real estate. With no recorded sales in the past 12 months, inventory turns over slowly, so serious buyers should be ready to move when the right property surfaces.
Burns Square is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Burns Square FAQs
Is Burns Square a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want to live in the heart of downtown Sarasota and walk to shops, dining, and the Five Points area rather than drive everywhere. You're also close to the beaches of Lido Key and the energy of the surrounding historic districts. It's a location built around walkability and proximity, not quiet suburban space.
Is Burns Square expensive?+
Yes, it sits at the higher end of the Sarasota market, with a median list price of $1,449,000 across the current listings. That premium reflects the walkable downtown location more than any single home feature. Buyers should expect to compete for close-in real estate here.
What do homes cost in Burns Square?+
Right now there are 5 active listings with a median list price of $1,449,000. Because it's a small district, pricing can swing based on which specific properties are available at any given time. Working with an agent who tracks new listings is the best way to catch the right fit.
How is the market in Burns Square?+
It's a low-inventory, slow-turnover market — just 5 homes are active and no sales were recorded in the past 12 months. That means properties are tightly held, and when one comes up it can draw strong interest. Buyers should be prepared to act quickly and keep an eye on the Sarasota market more broadly for options.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
We don't have current HOA or property tax figures for the active Burns Square listings, which is common in a small district with limited turnover. Costs can vary by whether a property is a condo or a single-family home. Ask your agent to pull the specifics on any listing before you write an offer.
