Chimney Creek in Sarasota was designed to stand out from the cookie-cutter planned developments that dot the real estate landscape in Southwest Florida. The Chimney Creek neighborhood is hidden in a leafy enclave situated between The Meadows and Kensington Park. The community is perfect for house hunters who are looking for something different in home design while still being able to enjoy all the amenities and advantages of the coveted Sarasota lifestyle.

The first aspect of Chimney Creek that surprises home shoppers is the aesthetic appeal of its eclectic residential architecture. The neoclassic Mediterranean design that is a staple of Southwest Florida sits next to Old Florida cottages, chalets, colonial two-story homes, and modern mansions. Homes at Chimney Creek are competitively priced in comparison to those in the planned developments. A three-bedroom and two-bathroom house with 1,783 square feet of living space starts at $268,000. Larger four-bedroom and three-bathroom homes are usually listed at $339,000.

Since Chimney Creek is nestled between two upscale Sarasota neighborhoods, residents will find suburban comforts right around the corner. Shopping, dining and entertainment options are located just a short drive away. Downtown Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch’s Main Street are just 10 minutes away, as well as the Siesta Key beaches. Active residents will find no shortage of athletic fields, golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, nature preserves, and other opportunities all over Southwest Florida.

School-age residents can attend Gocio Elementary, Booker Middle and the 47-acre campus of Booker High School.
