Baytown Square is a small gated townhome community in the east Bee Ridge area of Sarasota, in ZIP 34240. It sits tucked north of the junction of Bee Ridge Road and Mauna Loa Boulevard, just west of Sarasota Golf Club Boulevard and less than a mile east of Interstate 75, which opens quick access to points across Sarasota and into Manatee County (neighborhoods.com and community guides, 2024 to 2026).
The community was built by national homebuilder D.R. Horton as a compact enclave of two-story attached townhomes set among ponds and preserve, with two original floor plans. The Coronado is the smaller plan at about 1,530 square feet and the Solana is larger at about 1,674 square feet, both offering three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a one-car garage in concrete block construction (D.R. Horton and listing guides, 2024). Confirm the exact plan and square footage per unit.
Baytown Square is maintenance-included, so the lifestyle is lock-and-leave: the HOA handles exterior and grounds upkeep and the residents share a gated entry and a resort-style pool with cabanas. The trade is that the deal here is made on the specific unit, its condition, and the exact HOA assessment, not on the headline price.
The pitch is a low-maintenance gated townhome minutes from I-75 in a growing east Sarasota corridor. The work is reading the unit and the building, confirming the HOA assessment and what it covers, and quoting insurance on an attached home before you fall for the location.
