Looking for a great neighborhood near downtown Sarasota? Let's explore Arlington Park, located about 1-1/2 miles southeast of downtown Sarasota and across from Sarasota Memorial Hospital and just 5 miles from world-famous Siesta Key Beach.

Living in Arlington Park means you’re not just buying a home—you’re placing yourself in the center of everything that makes Sarasota so desirable as a refined, coastal city. For many buyers, that close‑in positioning is just as valuable as the house itself.

Minutes to world-class beaches

From Arlington Park, you’re a short drive to Siesta Key, Lido Key, and the sparkling Gulf—close enough that a “quick beach walk before dinner” is actually realistic on a weekday. Being this near the coast supports both quality of life and long‑term demand, as Sarasota’s beach access is one of the region’s strongest value drivers.

Adjacent to Southside Village

Southside Village, with its cafés, restaurants, and boutiques, is only a few minutes away, so meeting friends for wine, grabbing gourmet takeout, or walking to weekend brunch becomes part of your weekly rhythm instead of a planned excursion. That walkable, village‑style environment is precisely what affluent, time‑pressed buyers tend to seek but rarely find so close to home.

Close to downtown Sarasota

Downtown Sarasota’s arts, dining, and waterfront are just a short hop from Arlington Park, making it easy to catch a performance, enjoy fine dining, or attend an event without worrying about a long commute or parking ordeal. This proximity keeps you engaged with the cultural and social pulse of the city while you still come home to a quiet, residential street.

Moments from Sarasota Memorial Hospital

Being near award-winning Sarasota Memorial Hospital is a tremendous practical benefit—especially for medical professionals, frequent travelers, and anyone who values having top-tier healthcare within minutes. It can also be reassuring for out‑of‑area family members to know their loved ones live just around the corner from a major medical center, which subtly supports resale appeal as well.

Staying Fit and Walking the Dog

At the heart of the neighborhood is Arlington Park & Aquatic Complex, with a 50‑meter lap pool, instructional pool, tennis and basketball courts, outdoor fitness gym, walking trail, playground, and a dog park. It genuinely feels like having a country-club-style amenity package in your backyard—without the country-club dues.
