Bent Tree is one of east Sarasota's established residential enclaves, set back from the coast where lots run larger and the pace stays quiet. It's the kind of place that rewards buyers who want space and a settled, mature-canopy feel over the buzz of the beach — while downtown culture, the Rosemary District, and the barrier-island sand of Lido Key remain an easy drive away. Homes here feed into Sarasota High, Sarasota Middle, and Lakeview Elementary, which keeps families anchored to the area.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, deliberate market. There are just 4 active listings with a median list price of $719,495, so inventory moves by the handful rather than the dozen. That scarcity means the right home doesn't come up often — when it does, being pre-approved and ready to tour matters more than in a high-turnover neighborhood like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores.
Bent Tree is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Straight answers
Bent Tree FAQs
Is Bent Tree a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want an established, quiet east-Sarasota address with larger lots and a settled feel. You're assigned to Sarasota High, Sarasota Middle, and Lakeview Elementary, and you're still within a reasonable drive of downtown Sarasota and the coast.
Is Bent Tree expensive?+
The current median list price is $719,495, which places it in Sarasota's mid-to-upper range rather than at the luxury coastal end. With only 4 homes active, pricing reflects a small sample, so it's worth comparing recent nearby sales before you make an offer.
What do homes cost in Bent Tree?+
Right now there are 4 active listings with a median list price of $719,495. Because inventory is so limited, the mix of what's available shifts quickly, and I'd recommend watching for new listings across east Sarasota if nothing here fits.
How is the Bent Tree market right now?+
It's a low-inventory market with just 4 active listings and no recorded sales in the past 12 months, so there isn't a reliable days-on-market or sold-price trend to lean on. That makes it a market where you act decisively when the right home appears and price carefully against comparable neighborhoods.
What should I know about HOA fees and property taxes?+
HOA and property tax figures aren't available in the current data set for these listings, so confirm them directly on each property before you commit. In an established community like this, ask your agent to pull the exact HOA dues and county tax history so there are no surprises at closing.
