The Southwest Florida housing market is filled with spectacular real estate offerings that tend to command very high prices. At Trillium in Sarasota, an elegant neighborhood located just north of Clark Road and east of I-75, the homes are quite spectacular, but the prices are pleasantly affordable.

A three-bedroom Mediterranean estate built with more than 2,500 square feet of interior on a lot measuring one acre can easily be listed for a million dollars near in the East of the Trail neighborhoods. Just a few miles away in the Trillium gated community, a similar home could be found listed under $475K and with even more extras as well as special features.

Trillium is a neighborhood that begs to be discovered by home buyers seeking quality real estate. Trillium was envisioned by two local builders who specialize in custom homes. The project started in 2005, perhaps not the best year for this type of development, but the luxury home market is always active when the price is right. As of 2014, 72 upscale and spacious homes had been developed on 31 acres. All residences in Trillium look incredible; the mix of architectural styles, which range from Spanish Colonial to Mediterranean, make up one of the best looking collection of homes in Southwest Florida.

The most well-appointed homes at Trillium are like mansions with four large bedrooms, four full bathrooms, private swimming pools with spas, Florida rooms, terraces, panoramic windows, cathedral ceilings, and more. As of early 2017, such a home was listed under $650K.

Trillium is a very quiet and tranquil place, but it is not secluded. The Siesta Key beaches and their sugary white sands are just six miles away; a straight drive down Clark Road. Driving to Downtown Sarasota can take just 15 minutes on I-75 and Fruitville Road. Some of the nearby suburban comforts include a Walmart Supercenter just down the road, although your best bet would be the Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.
