Osprey & South Sarasota

Bayfront beauty, gated communities, and a perfectly positioned lifestyle.

Overview

Where the bay
meets the country club.

Osprey is a quiet, upscale community nestled along Sarasota Bay between the city of Sarasota and the town of Venice. It's a region that offers the best of both worlds — the tranquility and natural beauty of a bayfront setting with the convenience of easy access to two vibrant downtowns, multiple beaches, and Interstate 75.

The area is perhaps best known for The Meadows, a master-planned golf and country club community that has been a Sarasota landmark for decades. The Meadows features two championship golf courses, a tennis center, a resort-style community center, and miles of walking and biking trails winding through protected nature preserves. It's a lifestyle that attracts buyers seeking resort-quality amenities without the resort price tag.

Beyond The Meadows, Osprey and South Sarasota encompass several other desirable neighborhoods and gated communities — including The Oaks Club, a prestigious golf community, and Spanish Main, a boating-oriented waterfront community. The diversity of options makes this area appealing across a wide range of budgets and lifestyle preferences.
