How Sarasota National compares
From the county records
$560,000
Median of 277 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $375,000 and $1,025,000.
29%
Of the 1,585 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 2022. 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 $14,699 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Sarasota National sits about 88% above the Wellen Park median of $7,804, ranking 18 of the 18 Wellen Park communities whose fees this site tracks.

No officer, director or registered agent is listed here. The register publishes them by name and several give a home address; none of that belongs in a public directory of community documents.
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.
Sarasota National Master Association, Inc.
No public documents have been located for this association yet.
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.

Sarasota National FAQ
Does Sarasota National have new construction homes?+
Yes, Sarasota National is actively building in Wellen Park. Builder pricing and incentives change often, so I can send the current list and represent you with the developer. What fee you owe, if anything, is set out in the written buyer-broker agreement we sign before touring; developer registration rules are confirmed for your specific purchase. Loop me in before your first model visit.
Who builds homes in Sarasota National?+
Sarasota National is built by Lennar. Those homes now trade as resales rather than through the builder, so the original warranty has usually expired and the condition of the specific house matters more than who built it. Roof age is the first thing to establish, because Florida insurers weight it heavily.
How much do homes in Sarasota National cost?+
The published price guidance for Sarasota National is an estimate in the $300s, $1M+ range, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.
What kind of homes are in Sarasota National?+
Sarasota National offers single family, with floor plans of 2 to 4 bedrooms. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. 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.
Is golf membership required at Sarasota National?+
Golf is central to Sarasota National, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. Membership structures vary: some are required with the home, some optional, some sold separately to non-residents, and some carry a waiting list. Confirm which applies to the specific address, and the current dues, directly with the club before relying on it.
What amenities does Sarasota National have?+
Sarasota National offers 18-hole championship golf course, Full-service clubhouse with dining, Resort-style pool, Full-service spa & salon, Tennis, pickleball, fitness & yoga, 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 Sarasota National actually sold for?+
277 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Sarasota National since October 2023, at a median of $560,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $375,000 and $1,025,000, 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 Sarasota National year round?+
29% of the 1,585 matched residential units in Sarasota National 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 Sarasota National still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Sarasota National was completed in 2022, across 1,611 platted parcels of which 1,585 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Sarasota National 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 Sarasota National have a CDD fee?+
Yes. Sarasota National carries an estimated CDD assessment of $940 - $1,914, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $495 - $1,717 monthly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
