Sarasota Overview
Sarasota came into The Paseos as a Ryland Homes release around 2014, then carried the CalAtlantic name after the 2015 merger, and sold new through about 2017. It sits off Fox Hill and Alta Drive behind a shared entrance with Altura, the Toll Brothers neighborhood next door, one of the village's most photogenic gate pairings.
What makes Sarasota memorable is the plan menu: six designs, mostly two-story, from about 2,189 to 2,572 square feet, with a single-story plan and two reverse-living layouts in the mix and rooftop decks on five of the six. For buyers who want the newest Paseos wave with genuine design character, Sarasota is the neighborhood with the personality.
Homes & Floor Plans
The original release coverage describes six single-family plans, roughly 2,189 to 2,572 square feet with up to 5 bedrooms, plus one single-story design, two reverse-living layouts and rooftop decks on five plans. Confirm the specific plan against the home.

Sizes
About 2,189 to 2,572 sq ft, up to 5 bedrooms and 3.5-plus baths, built 2014 to 2017 behind the shared gate with Altura.
Market context, as of late 2025 / early 2026
Sarasota is a newer, gated resale neighborhood with limited inventory, and homes commonly price around or above the Paseos median of roughly $825,000 reported in Q4 2025. Rooftop decks and the single-story option move value, and the shared gate with Altura keeps the address in demand; conditions change, so ask for current comparable sales for a specific home.
HOA context: Sarasota carries the Summerlin master fee, currently described around $69 per month for the Summerlin West portion of the village, plus village and sub-association dues commonly in the $75 to $150 range for single-family homes in The Paseos. Exact fees depend on the specific home.
Where Is Sarasota?
Sarasota sits off Fox Hill and Alta Drive on the western side of The Paseos, in the 89138 zip code, behind the shared gate with Altura. Paseos Park, the village trails and the Red Rock side of Summerlin are minutes from the gate, with Downtown Summerlin a short drive east.
- West of the I-215 beltway, near NV-160

Lifestyle & Local Context
Sarasota is for buyers who want their home to do something interesting. The rooftop decks are the neighborhood's signature amenity, where owners watch the Red Rock escarpment change color with a coffee in hand, and the reverse-living plans put the main rooms upstairs to capture the same views. The shared gate with Altura also means the streets carry two distinct builders' styles, which keeps the architecture from feeling uniform.
Daily life anchors to the newest side of the village: trails out the gate, Paseos Park for weekends, Charleston corridor for errands, Downtown Summerlin, the ballpark and City National Arena for outings, Red Rock Canyon for the reset. Whether Sarasota's unusual plans are an asset depends on the buyer, and that is exactly the conversation I have with clients before we ever look at a house.

Sarasota FAQ
Who built Sarasota in The Paseos?
Sarasota began as a Ryland Homes release around 2014 and was completed and marketed as Sarasota by CalAtlantic Homes after Ryland merged with Standard Pacific in 2015. CalAtlantic then merged with Lennar in 2018, which is why the builder name appears in multiple forms. Homes sold new through about 2017.
Does Sarasota share its gate with Altura?
Yes. Sarasota and Altura share a single stunning gated entrance, the paired-gate pattern of The Paseos. Toll Brothers built Altura on the other side of that shared entry, while Sarasota is by CalAtlantic, so one gate serves two very different builders and plan palettes.
What floor plans does Sarasota offer?
Six single-family plans in total, most two-story, ranging from about 2,189 to 2,572 square feet with up to 5 bedrooms. Coverage of the original release also notes a single-story plan and two reverse-living designs, and five of the six plans featured private rooftop decks.
Are Sarasota homes one-story or two-story?
The neighborhood is predominantly two-story, but the plan mix includes a single-story design and reverse-living options, so Sarasota actually offers more layout variety than most Paseos neighborhoods.
What schools serve Sarasota?
The schools most commonly referenced for the Paseos and 89138 area are Linda Rankin Givens Elementary, Sig Rogich Middle and Palo Verde High. CCSD assigns by exact address and boundaries change, so always verify current zoning for a specific home.
What is the price range in Sarasota?
Sarasota is a newer gated resale neighborhood, and homes commonly price around or above the Paseos median of roughly $825,000 reported in Q4 2025 depending on plan, rooftop deck, lot and updates. Conditions change, so ask for current comparable sales.
Who is Sarasota a good fit for?
Buyers who want the newest wave of Paseos homes with design personality: rooftop decks, reverse-living layouts and a single-story option, all behind a shared gate with Altura's larger Toll Brothers product.

Unusual floor plans are where appraising gets honest: rooftop decks and reverse living can add real value to the right buyer and almost none to the wrong one. I have valued both Sarasota and Altura across the shared gate for years and can tell you which Sarasota configurations resell strongest, what the rooftop premium really is, and whether this neighborhood fits how you actually live.
