Welcome to Venice

Venice is an area famous for its nature and friendly neighbors. Just south of Sarasota, Venice offers waterfront dining, a quaint downtown area, a wide, lush beach -- even a dog beach -- and a fishing pier. Whether you’re a retiree or a young family, you’ll love the slower pace of life here.

Casey Key

This is perhaps the most exclusive area to live in the region. Casey Key is a nine-mile-long island with some of the most exquisite real estate, Stephen King even resides here. Property values range from $1 million to more than $10 million, and the Gulf-to-bay properties are why.

Myakka River Trails

Off North River Road, Myakka River Trails is an exclusive, private, gated neighborhood that features tons of gorgeous green vegetation and wildlife. The area is deed-restricted, and the community features a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, horse trails and a ramp to launch your boat into the river. There are no properties here under 3,000 square feet.

Venice Farms

If you are a horse lover, Venice Farms is your ideal spot. Located in east Venice, this neighborhood is comprised of properties ranging from 5 acres to 100-plus acres. It’s very rural and there are no deed restrictions so feel free to ride at your own leisure.

The Island of Venice

The Island of Venice is perfect if you love old, historic homes. This area gives you direct access to the beach, it’s where the Saturday morning Farmers Market takes place and it’s famous for the Sharks Tooth Festival. Many of the homes here date back to the 20s, and on any given day, you’ll catch the residents riding around town on their golf carts.

IslandWalk at the West Villages

Venice is unsurprisingly becoming a hot spot for new single-family home development with new planned communities popping up recently. IslandWalk at the West Villages is one of them. This stunning community is being developed by DiVosta Homes, and it features all the amenities your heart desires - tennis courts, lap pools, club house, fitness center, fire pits, pickleball and more.
