Beachplace Longboat Key is a large condominium tower complex that is one of the crown jewels of Florida real estate. Construction of Beachplace was completed during the Golden Age of condominium tower development, in the early 1980s, and it was designed to take the best advantage of the sweeping Gulf of Mexico vistas. Beachplace is located close to the southern tip of the island, and its eleven high-rise towers sit as close to the beach as possible.

The beaches at the southern end of the Longboat Key seashore are considered some of the most scenic in Florida, and thus some of the condominium units are highly coveted for their dramatic views of the Gulf of Mexico. There are 336 units at Beachplace, meaning that home shoppers will always have a few residences to choose from. Floor plans range from cozy 1,1312 square feet units with two bedrooms and two bathrooms to ample 1,819 square feet residences with three bedrooms. Pricing starts at $1 million for the smaller units and $2.3 million at the higher end. Latest pricing at Beachplace Longboat Key will be found below if there is inventory.

Home shoppers looking for the best views should keep in mind that all Beachplace buildings are six-stories in height, and this will influence the type of vista they get. The higher stories will provide panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and its spectacular sunsets, but slightly lower stories may provide a closer glimpse of passing dolphins and manatees.

There are many amenities at Beachplace: a large swimming pool, a fitness center, tennis courts, clubhouse, tropical landscaping, and even a lake. Outdoor activities like fishing, hiking and kayaking can be enjoyed right on the island, as well as dining. Residents looking for upscale shopping and entertainment can drive across the nearby bridge to the unique St. Armands Circle and beyond to Sarasota.
