Picture this: You're driving through Arlington Park on a Saturday morning, and everywhere you turn, there's a construction crew hard at work. Sleek modern homes are rising where older homes once stood. If you've noticed this transformation, you're not alone—Arlington Park has become one of Sarasota's hottest addresses for new construction.

But here's the question I hear constantly: "Who's actually building these homes?"

Located just south of downtown Sarasota, Arlington Park offers proximity to Southside Village, Selby Gardens, Siesta Key, Lido Key, and downtown's cultural attractions without the jaw-dropping price tags you'll find West of Trail. The neighborhood features a county-operated park with a lap pool, tennis courts, and walking trails. The result? Builders see opportunity, and buyers see value.

The Luxury Custom Builder Scene ($1.5M-$3M+)

Several boutique builders are creating stunning custom properties in Arlington Park.

EJM Custom Homes sits at the top with properties from $2,900,000 to $3,075,000, featuring 4,300-4,600 square feet with 4-6 bedrooms. At $667 per square foot, these are statement homes, not starter homes.

Sara Bay Construction completed a 3,788-square-foot masterpiece at $2,677,000 with 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms at $707 per square foot—perfect for those wanting maximum space with luxury finishes.

TDI Coastal Homes currently has an active listing at $2,799,000 for a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home with 4,624 square feet.

Siesta Kay Properties works in the $1.8M-$2.4M range with homes averaging 3,200-3,500 square feet, consistently featuring 4-5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and pools.

The Sweet Spot: Mid-Luxury Builders ($700K-$1.8M)

This is where most of Arlington Park's action is happening, and where I see the most buyer interest.

Allegra Homes has properties between $1,572,000 and $1,835,000, averaging 2,734 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and pools. At $659 per square foot, Allegra delivers premium quality with modern aesthetics.

Courtyard Modern ranges from $990,000 to $2.4 million, with 1 currently active listing. Their homes average 2,503 square feet, all with pools, at $614 per square foot—targeting buyers who want modern style without ultra-luxury pricing.

Majestik Homes offers properties in the $1.18M-$1.765M range, averaging 2,728 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and pools. At $560 per square foot, Majestik provides solid value for quality new construction.

Milano Homes spans $750,000 to $2 million with homes from 1,848 to 3,372 square feet, showing flexibility in design and budget. At $653 per square foot, Milano bridges entry-level and luxury.

Other Notable Builders Making Their Mark

Charlie's Construction Co currently has 2 active listings ranging from $1,835,000 to $2.25 million. These homes average 2,602 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (both with pools), with completion set for 2026.

Trepp Developments also has 2 active listings between $1.7M and $2.1M, with homes averaging 3,477 square feet. These 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom properties with pools are set for 2025 completion.

What This Means for Buyers

Under $1 million? Options are limited in new construction at this price point. Milano Homes' lower-priced properties may offer the best opportunity.

$1M-$1.5M budget? Expect quality construction from Allegra, Majestik, and Milano with pools and modern finishes. You'll find 2,500-2,800 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms.

$1.5M-$2.5M? Courtyard Modern, Siesta Kay Properties, and Charlie's or Trepp (both with 2026/2025 completion dates) compete in this custom/semi-custom range with 3,000-4,000 square feet.

$2.5M+? EJM Custom Homes, Sara Bay Construction, and TDI Coastal Homes create fully custom architectural statements.
