Woodland Middle School

It's a solid pick for families who want a growing, practical North Port neighborhood with a mix of new and established homes. The area feeds into schools like Glenallen Elementary School, and with 1,012 homes sold in the past year, there's a healthy, active community around you. The pace is steady rather than frenzied, which suits buyers who want time to choose.

It's one of the more attainable parts of Sarasota County, with a median list price of $359,900 and a median sold price of $329,900 over the last year. Prices span widely — from $99,000 up to $3,950,000 — so both first-time buyers and move-up buyers can find a fit. You can see the full range on the live map.

Expect around $210 per square foot, with a typical home near 1,771 square feet. The median list price is $359,900 and recent sales have closed at a median of $329,900, so list and sold values track closely. With 175 new-construction listings among the North Port homes for sale, pricing varies by whether you go builder or resale.

It's balanced and active. Homes sell in a median of 42 days and sellers are getting about 98% of asking on average, so there's modest room to negotiate without expecting deep discounts. With 398 active listings against 1,012 sales in the past year, buyers have steady choice.

The median HOA runs about $271 per month, though many homes here carry no HOA at all — only 14 active listings are in gated communities. Median property tax is around $3,498 per year. If you're weighing a rental fallback, the median rent in the area is about $2,125 per month.
