Esplanade By Siesta Key trades on its position: a gated community close to the sand and water that put Sarasota on the map, with resort-style comfort built into everyday life. Homes here run around 2,330 square feet, giving buyers real room without the maintenance load of a larger estate. It's the kind of address that pairs well with weekend trips to Lido Key and dinners in the Rosemary District, while still feeling private behind the gate.
The market picture is thin right now — a single active listing at $969,000 — so buyers should expect limited choice and patience. Over the past year 13 homes changed hands at a median of $650,000, with sellers collecting about 96% of asking, and homes typically sitting 188 days before closing. That slower pace can work in a buyer's favor on negotiation, but the low inventory means the right home is worth moving on when it appears among Sarasota homes for sale.
Esplanade By Siesta Key is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Straight answers
Esplanade By Siesta Key FAQs
Is Esplanade By Siesta Key a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a gated, low-maintenance community within reach of Sarasota's beaches and dining. Assigned schools include Phillippi Shores Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High, and nearby draws like Lido Key put the coast close at hand. The tradeoff is scale — this is a small community with limited turnover.
Is Esplanade By Siesta Key expensive?+
It sits in Sarasota's upper-middle range, with a median sold price of $650,000 over the past 12 months and the current active listing asking $969,000. Average price per square foot lands around $416. Values here reflect the gated setting and proximity to the beaches rather than sprawling lot sizes.
What do homes cost in Esplanade By Siesta Key?+
The single active listing is priced at $969,000 for roughly 2,330 square feet. Looking back, the 13 homes sold in the past year closed at a median of $650,000, so recent buyers paid noticeably less than today's lone asking price. Comparing against the broader pool of Sarasota homes for sale helps set expectations.
How is the market in Esplanade By Siesta Key?+
Inventory is very tight — just one home is active right now — and the pace is slow, with a median of 188 days on market. Sellers have averaged 96% of asking across 13 sales in the past year, so pricing has held firm even with longer marketing times. Buyers should be ready to act when a fitting home lists.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA fee runs about $570 per month, which reflects the gated, resort-style upkeep. Property taxes come in around $6,350 per year at recent price levels. Budget both into your carrying costs alongside the purchase price.
