Sarasota County, Florida
Nokomis
A small coastal community between Sarasota and Venice, with quiet beaches on Casey Key, bayfront homes, and access to the Legacy Trail.
Nokomis lies just north of Venice. Casey Key, a narrow barrier island, shelters Dona Bay and Roberts Bay, and the Venice Inlet gives boaters a short run to the Gulf. The Legacy Trail, a paved rail-trail, runs through on its way between Sarasota and Venice.
What you’ll find for sale
Homes on canals and bays with docks, older Florida ranch homes on generous lots, a handful of newer communities east of the Tamiami Trail, and estate homes on Casey Key.
What to check before you buy
- Dock and seawall. On waterfront property, have the seawall, dock, and lift inspected, and confirm bridge clearance and water depth for your boat.
- Flood zone and elevation. Waterfront and near-water lots are usually in special flood hazard areas. Elevation makes a large difference to the premium.
- Septic or sewer. Some older properties are on septic systems. Ask which, and when it was last inspected.
