Del Sol Village is a single-family village within Longwood Run, a deed-restricted community on the south side of University Parkway near the Sarasota and Manatee county line. Longwood Run was started in 1987 by the Sarasota-based Rivolta Group, led by Pierro Rivolta, who set out to preserve and build around the green areas, keeping about half of the property as open space (Sarasota Bay Real Estate community guide, 2026).
Homes in Del Sol Village are single-family residences built by U.S. Homes, generally dated to the early 1990s, with most addresses in the 34243 ZIP code (neighborhoods.com and active Stellar MLS listings, 2026). The village sits among the lakes, wetlands, and preserves that define Longwood Run, so many lots back to natural scenery rather than other houses.
Longwood Run is made up of several distinct villages, including Del Sol Village, Griffon Woods, Riviera Club, Magnolia Place, and the Longwood and Callista villas, each with its own association under the Longwood Run Community Association. That structure means Del Sol carries its own fee and rule set, separate from the villa and condo sections, and it should be read on its own.
The pitch is preserve-side single-family living with strong access: University Parkway and DeSoto Road put the airport, the University Town Center retail district, and the Tamiami Trail within a short drive. The work is reading the home's roof, systems, and flood exposure honestly, and confirming the Del Sol association lines, before you fall for a price.
