How Devonshire Place compares

From the county records

$665,000

Median of 7 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $615,000 and $725,000.

32%

Of the 37 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as a minority of homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.

Newest completion recorded 1994. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.

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 reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

At an estimated $1,631 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Devonshire Place sits about 88% below the Sarasota median of $13,676, ranking 8 of the 90 Sarasota communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Devonshire Place FAQ

Can you still buy a new home in Devonshire Place?+

Devonshire Place is essentially sold out of new construction, so homes here come up as resale. I can set you up with alerts the moment one hits the market and give you an honest read on value before you offer.

What kind of homes are in Devonshire Place?+

Devonshire Place offers villas. 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 have homes in Devonshire Place actually sold for?+

7 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Devonshire Place since October 2023, at a median of $665,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $615,000 and $725,000, 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 Devonshire Place year round?+

32% of the 37 matched residential units in Devonshire Place claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a minority of homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

Is Devonshire Place still being built?+

The most recent home the county records in Devonshire Place was completed in 1994, across 40 platted parcels of which 37 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Devonshire Place in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. 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 Devonshire Place have an HOA or CDD fee?+

Devonshire Place has an HOA fee estimated at $950 - $2,311 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. A community development district bills through your property taxes rather than through the association, and its assessment can carry two separate components: debt service, which repays the bonds that funded roads, drainage and amenities, and an operations and maintenance charge, which does not end with the bonds. A community without a district avoids both as currently assessed. Figures are estimates, assessments are set annually, and both vary by home and phase, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.

What flood zone is Devonshire Place in?+

The flood zone recorded for Devonshire Place is X. 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.
