Inlet is a small, waterfront-oriented pocket of Sarasota where the scale stays intimate and the water is never far. It sits within easy reach of the beaches on Lido Key, the walkable energy of the Rosemary District, and the tree-lined streets of Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores — so you get quiet residential life with the city's culture and coastline minutes away.
For buyers, this is a thin market that moves on limited inventory. There's currently one active listing at $429,000, and homes here have sold at a median of $403,750 over the past year with sellers netting about 92% of asking. Expect smaller floor plans — the median home runs 906 square feet at roughly $474 per square foot — so it pays to be ready when the right one lists.
