Sarasota, FL
Lawrence Pointe
Two six-floor buildings on Sunset Drive, both completed in 1978, assessed as 14 units at 97 and 26 at 101, forty homes in total. Recorded as Lawrence Pointe I and II, separate associations despite the shared name, so the fee and the reserve study belong to one building rather than both.

How Lawrence Pointe compares
From the county records
$1,200,000
Median of 7 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $970,000 and $1,250,000.
25%
Of the 40 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 1978. 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 $13,612 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Lawrence Pointe sits within a few percent of the Sarasota median of $13,676, ranking 45 of the 90 Sarasota communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Lawrence Pointe Condo Assn
Condominium associationMatched to Lawrence Pointe because: The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s register of condominium projects records this in Sarasota County at 140 Sunset Drive, Sarasota, declaring 15 and 26 units, under project number PR1M008741 and PR1M008742. Two separate projects, Lawrence Pointe I and Lawrence Pointe II, both on Sunset Drive in Sarasota, declaring 15 and 26 units. This site records 14 units at number 97 and 26 at number 101, forty in total. The 26 agrees exactly and the other differs by one. THE UNIT COUNT IS THE GATE, NOT THE NAME, and in this batch it refused more than it passed: a Sutton Place in Venice, a Marbella in Bradenton Beach, a four-unit St Armands Place against a whole key, a ninety-unit Central Park on Wood Street against a 330-home community in Bradenton, and a Bayou on Anna Maria Island.
Applicability not settled. THE REGISTER CONFLICTS WITH WHAT THIS PAGE TELLS A BUYER. The page says the two buildings are "separate associations despite the shared name", and uses that to say the fee and the reserve study belong to one building rather than both. The state register lists ONE managing entity across both projects. That is not proof the page is wrong, because a managing entity is not necessarily the governing corporation, but it is a direct conflict on the point the page uses to tell somebody what they will pay. Ask which corporation issues the budget for the specific building before relying on either statement.

No officer, director or manager is listed here. The state register publishes a managing entity, which is named above as an organisation, and nothing from an individual’s record is reproduced.
Board members and officers are not listed here. They change often, and their names are on the association’s own records and in the state’s corporate filings, which is where they should be read from rather than from a page that cannot keep up.

Nothing found is not the same as nothing in force. Every community in Florida with an association has governing documents; this says only that they have not been found in a public place.
The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Lawrence Pointe FAQ
What kind of homes are in Lawrence Pointe?+
Lawrence Pointe offers bayfront 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 have homes in Lawrence Pointe actually sold for?+
7 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Lawrence Pointe since October 2023, at a median of $1,200,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $970,000 and $1,250,000, 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 Lawrence Pointe year round?+
25% of the 40 matched residential units in Lawrence Pointe 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 Lawrence Pointe still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Lawrence Pointe was completed in 1978, across 43 platted parcels of which 40 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Lawrence Pointe 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 Lawrence Pointe have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Lawrence Pointe has an HOA fee estimated at $12,084 - $15,140 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 Lawrence Pointe in?+
The flood zone recorded for Lawrence Pointe is AE. 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.
