The gated community of Venetia in Venice got off to an uncertain start when builders acquired acres of land near the intersection of Jacaranda Boulevard and South Tamiami Trail before 2008, just before the national real estate downturn. The project was later completed with the help of local developers, and result has been one of most attractive neighborhoods for prospective buyers in Sarasota County.

Single professionals, families, and retirees alike will find Venetia appealing. This neighborhood of 650 properties is split into sections that cater to various lifestyle situations. Casa D’Amici is where you can find condominium units; then you have Villa Vivaci and Villa Paradiso, where the homes are built in a paired villa style. Venetia One is the section where you can find larger properties starting with three-bedroom homes with floor plans offering 2,000 square feet on average.

The architectural style at Venetia combines the Mediterranean look with some Tuscan and Spanish Colonial details. The community amenities include basketball courts, a swimming pool, a neighborhood gym, clubhouse, tennis courts, and green spaces for picnics. Thanks to numerous lakes and ponds, many of the homes in Venetia offer nice views.

Venetia is located in a quiet and leafy part of town where you can find city parks and golf courses. The closest shopping district is less than five minutes away, and it is anchored by major stores such as Publix and Walmart. The closest beach is Caspersen and the seaside Brohard Paw Park, the only dedicated beach for pets in Venice.

Depending on the listing, you may find that Venetia properties are priced higher than the median sales price in Venice, and his has a lot to do with the quality of construction. Hurricane-grade glass, shutters, outdoor carpeting, decorative landscaping, and designer kitchens are among the thoughtful details you can find here. In early 2021, the larger single-family homes in Venetia were valued at around $450K, and homes tend to sell rather quickly.
