In Spanish, the word alameda means “a place surrounded by poplar trees;” it is often reserved for wide, quiet streets with ample sidewalks and mature trees with thick canopies that provide generous shade. This is a perfect description for Alameda Avenue Sarasota, a historic subdivision that is one of Southwest Florida’s most coveted addresses.

Alameda Avenue begins at the northern edge of Whitaker Bayou and connects with Indian Beach Drive to the north. This used to be a quiet fishing village until real estate development began in 1920. House hunters can find a diversity of residential architecture that reflects the Southwest Florida home styles throughout the 20th century. Reasonably priced bungalows and Florida ranch-style homes compete next to impressive waterfront mansions overlooking the Sarasota Bay.

Real estate in Alameda Avenue can be found anywhere from $670,000 for a bungalow to $14.2M for a 4,799 square foot waterfront mansion with private dock space; luxury listings tend to be more active. Although this subdivision is a mere three-minute drive away from downtown Sarasota, residents here enjoys more peace and privacy than those living in gated communities thanks to the mature oak trees and lush landscaping.
