Hudson Bayou sits just south of downtown, where a quiet tidal creek winds past mature oaks and a mix of restored bungalows and new custom homes. It's the kind of walkable, close-in pocket where you can be at the water's edge, then a few minutes later browsing the shops and restaurants near the Rosemary District or heading over the bridge to the beaches at Lido Key. The character here leans classic Sarasota — leafy, low-key, and firmly connected to the bay.
For buyers, this is a high-end, low-inventory market: just 13 active listings with a median list price of $2,995,000 and average pricing around $991 per square foot. Eleven of those active homes are asking $1M or more, and four are new construction, so expect a range from renovation-ready to turnkey. If Hudson Bayou stretches the budget, nearby Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores and the broader pool of Sarasota homes for sale give you more entry points into the same waterfront-adjacent lifestyle.
Hudson Bayou is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Hudson Bayou FAQs
Is Hudson Bayou a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, walkable pocket just south of downtown Sarasota, close to the bay, the beaches at Lido Key, and the dining scene near the Rosemary District. Families are served by Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High School. The vibe is established and leafy rather than flashy.
Is Hudson Bayou expensive?+
Yes — it's one of Sarasota's higher-end close-in neighborhoods, with a median list price of $2,995,000 and average pricing near $991 per square foot. Eleven of the 13 active listings ask $1M or more. That said, active prices run from $515,000 up to $6,500,000, so there are entry points below the median.
What do homes cost in Hudson Bayou?+
Active listings span $515,000 to $6,500,000 with a median list price of $2,995,000, on a median home size of about 2,904 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 21 homes sold at a median price of $1,225,000 — a reminder that closed prices sit well below current asking prices.
How is the market right now?+
It's a low-inventory, slower-paced market: 13 active listings with a median 97 days on market. Sellers are getting about 95% of asking on average, so there's room to negotiate, and 21 sales over the past year show steady but not frantic demand.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $1,439 per month, though that varies by property and is often tied to specific condo or association buildings rather than single-family homes. Median property tax is around $10,285 per year. If you're renting instead, the median is roughly $6,150 per month.
