How Aria compares
From the county records
$1,000,000
Median of 68 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $838,000 and $1,280,000.
47%
Of the 187 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as a mix of full-time and seasonal owners.
Still delivering. 49% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is a strong proxy for how many owners live here full time, not a census of them.
At an estimated $92,358 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Aria sits about 362% above the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 62 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.
Estimates from the same dataset behind the fee pages and the True Cost Index. Fees vary by lot size and sub-association, and change with each budget.

Aria FAQ
How much do homes in Aria cost?+
Homes in Aria are generally priced in the Est. $5M to $8M range. Pricing moves with the market and varies by floor plan, lot, and incentives, so reach out for the most current numbers.
What kind of homes are in Aria?+
Aria offers new-construction gulf-front condominium. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
What amenities does Aria have?+
Aria offers 300 feet of private Gulf beachfront, Elevated pool and spa with rain curtain, Wellness center overlooking the lagoon, Fitness studio with Pilates and yoga salon, Locker rooms with steam showers and massage room, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
What have homes in Aria actually sold for?+
68 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Aria since October 2023, at a median of $1,000,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $838,000 and $1,280,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Aria year round?+
47% of the 187 finished homes in Aria carry a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence. That reads as a mix of full-time and seasonal owners. It is a strong proxy rather than a census, since an owner who lives there but never filed does not appear in it, but it is the most direct public signal of how occupied a community is outside the winter.
Is Aria still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Aria was completed in 2025, across 194 platted parcels of which 187 carry a finished home. 49% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Aria is still being delivered: expect construction nearby, and the lot choice that comes with it. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does Aria have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Aria has an HOA fee estimated at $90,012 - $94,704 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. That matters more than it sounds: a CDD is a bond repayment attached to the land and billed with your property taxes, so its absence is a permanent annual difference against communities that carry one. Figures are estimates and vary by home, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.
What flood zone is Aria in?+
The flood zone recorded for Aria is VE. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
