Kitchens across Sarasota County: what local homes call for
The typical home across the 6 communities we cover in Sarasota County was built around 1989, but the range is wide: median homes in Englewood date to about 1983, while those in North Port are closer to 1997. That spread means two kitchens in the same county can need very different work.
Housing costs are not uniform in Sarasota County: North Port has a median home value near $312,000, Osprey near $693,000, and the county as a whole sits at about $443,000, about 33% above the national median of $333,000.
Roughly 76% of households in these communities own their home and 70% of the housing is single-family. Only about 16% of homes predate 1970, so most Sarasota County projects are about finishes, storage and flow rather than hidden repairs.
