A D.R. Horton townhome community off University Parkway, all-concrete-block construction a short drive from University Town Center.
Listings before the portals, true comps, and the renovation and carrying-cost math, before you tour.
"Oasis at Longwood Run is a D.R. Horton townhome enclave in the Longwood Run area of Sarasota, just off University Parkway and within a short drive of University Town Center and I-75. The product is consistent: three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhomes with a one-car garage and all-concrete-block construction on both floors, which is a real storm and insurance advantage at this price point. Because it is new construction, your leverage is in the homesite selection, the included builder incentives, the warranty, and a clear read of the HOA scope, not in renovation upside. The location near the University corridor is the durable asset, so verify the HOA documents and the exact homesite before you commit."

Oasis at Longwood Run is a D.R. Horton townhome community in the Longwood Run area of Sarasota, in Sarasota County, with a sales address on Gold Dust Lane off University Parkway in ZIP 34243 (D.R. Horton and Homes.com, 2026).
The homes are townhomes with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a one-car garage, built with all-concrete-block construction on both floors, which D.R. Horton markets for storm protection, sound, and energy efficiency. Kitchens include a stainless-steel appliance package and quartz counters, and the homes include the builder's Smart Home package (D.R. Horton, 2026).
The location is the headline. The community sits near University Town Center, one of the region's largest shopping and dining destinations, with I-75 minutes away and the Sarasota and Lido Key beaches reachable for a day trip. This is the fast-growing University Parkway corridor on the north edge of Sarasota County.
Because this is new construction, the money is made on the homesite, the floor plan, the builder incentive, and a clear read of the HOA scope and warranty, not on renovation upside. Confirm the current price sheet, HOA documents, and the specific homesite before you write an offer.
Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.
Live from Stellar MLS, as of June 30, 2026. Refreshed twice daily. Months of supply, days on market, and the contract-to-listing ratio are computed from current Oasis at Longwood Run listings and the trailing twelve months of closed sales.

What is actually shaping value around Oasis at Longwood Run: the build-out and expansion of University Town Center next door, the University Parkway and I-75 corridor improvements, and the 2025 read on Sarasota townhome demand. Each item is sourced and linked.
Our read on what is being built around Oasis at Longwood Run, scored for direction, significance, and how close the effect lands. The full sourced timeline follows below.
New stores, restaurants, and future residential and entertainment phases at University Town Center strengthen the destination a short drive from the community.
Interstate and corridor upgrades at the University Parkway interchange improve east-west access and support continued growth on this side of the county.
The metro added more than seven percent population since 2020, well above the national rate, which underpins housing demand along the University corridor (RASM, 2025).
Sarasota condos and townhomes saw price adjustments and slower sales in 2025 while single-family stayed resilient, so read the resale comps and builder inventory carefully (RASM, 2025).
All-concrete-block construction on both floors supports storm resilience and can help with insurance at this price point, a real differentiator for the product.
Townhome HOA dues and scope change as the community closes out, so carrying cost has to be verified in the recorded documents per unit.

If we were buying in Oasis at Longwood Run, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.
Confirm the floor plan and the homesite. The townhome plans share a footprint, so the homesite, the orientation, and any water or preserve view drive the resale difference.
Read the HOA budget and scope in full. Townhome HOAs cover exterior and common areas, so confirm exactly what is included, the reserve study, and any planned increases.
Ask for the builder incentive in writing. New-construction pricing moves with incentives and rate buydowns, so get the current offer documented for the specific unit.
Verify the warranty and the concrete-block spec. All-concrete-block on both floors is a selling point, so confirm it for your unit and get the structural and systems warranty terms.
Compare against other new townhome products, such as Coastal Haven Townhomes, to sanity-check the value of this build and location.

Oasis at Longwood Run is a D.R. Horton townhome community rather than a large amenity master plan, so the appeal is the low-maintenance, lock-and-leave townhome lifestyle and the location off University Parkway near University Town Center and I-75. The homes are three-bedroom, all-concrete-block townhomes with a one-car garage. Confirm any community amenities, the HOA scope, and the homesite details before you buy.
Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.
Here are the broad resale bands in Oasis at Longwood Run today. The right home is the one matched to your budget and the renovation math, so seeing fitting listings early is the edge.
A standard interior townhome on a base homesite, the affordable way into a new all-concrete-block home near the University corridor.
A townhome with a better homesite, added upgrades, or an end position, the heart of the value here.
An end or premium townhome with a preserve or water view and privacy, the unit that should hold value best on resale.

The factors that actually move value in Oasis at Longwood Run, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.
Renovated-listing inventory in Oasis at Longwood Run is too thin right now to compute a reliable renovation premium. We read condition home by home against real comps before you offer.
On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.
Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.
Our read on the factors that protect resale here, and the one to manage.
Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.
The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.
The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.
1The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.
2A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.
3A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.
4Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.
5An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.
Oasis at Longwood Run is a consistent new townhome product, so the deal is won on the homesite, the incentive, and a clear read of the HOA and warranty.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the five factors that decide how a home here buys, holds, and resells.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment based on the analysis on this page, on a 0 to 10 scale. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value or advice on a specific home.
Most pages on this community are an automated estimate wrapped in stock copy. This one is built from the live Stellar MLS feed, fourteen years of closed sales, and a renovation-by-renovation read of what actually moves value here, lot by lot. No Zestimate, no guesswork.
Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.
Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from Stellar MLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.
In a new townhome community where the plans share a footprint, the homesite is the part of your money the market protects. End units, premium homesites, and lots with a preserve or water view and real privacy hold value better than interior base homesites. The finishes can be matched by the next buyer; the homesite and the outlook cannot. Read the homesite, the orientation, and the HOA scope first, then weigh the upgrades.
As a townhome community, Oasis at Longwood Run carries an HOA that covers exterior and common-area items typical of attached homes. Builder marketing has referenced a monthly HOA figure, but dues and scope change, so confirm the current amount, what it includes, and the reserve study in the recorded HOA documents for the specific unit.
A townhome HOA here typically covers exterior maintenance items, common-area landscaping, and shared community elements; confirm whether the roof, exterior paint, insurance on the structure, and any amenities are inside or outside the dues. Verify whether any CDD assessment applies on the tax bill for the parcel.
Free calculators to pressure-test the real cost before you tour.
Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.
Selling a townhome here means pricing to your specific homesite, your floor plan, and the value of any upgrades, not the builder's base number on a remaining inventory home. The view, the orientation, and the HOA scope set your resale story.
Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus our market average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.
Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Coastal Haven Townhomes, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
